What I Wore: Lace Accents

what I wore: dress – vintage via grey dog, tights – target, booties – gianni bini, earrings – kate spade
Don’t you love the lace collar & cuffs? I thought this was such a fun wintery/autumnal dress. Grey Dog is such an asset to our little community

What I Wore: Little House

(what I wore: skirt & blouse – vintage from potter’s house, collar clip – grey dog, earrings – charm & chain, heels – forever21, belt – old navy)
This outfit felt a little Laura Ingalls Wilder when I put it together but I was in a hurry and I’d been jonesing to wear this skirt so I just went with it. However, now that I see it in photo-form, it might have surpassed prairie and moved all the way over to grand ole opry tryouts? I have to admit, I’m not a fan of country but I have been listening to some old-school Dolly Parton lately. Does Jolene count? I guess it does. Maybe she got in a little bit…
Anyway, is it too far?

What I Wore: The 3 Generations Coat

what I wore: coat – vintage, top – bcbg, skirt – ann taylor, tights – target, (new) platforms – forever21, ring – vintage
The story on the coat is that it was my grandmother’s in the 40s. My mom acquired it and added the fur in the 70s. So, it truly is a family heirloom.

What I Wore: Animal Instinct

what I wore: leopard booties – steve madden, dress – kensie, belt – vintage, leather jacket – vintage winlit, jewelry – vintage and gifts

Blog Crush: 5 inch and up

I recently happened upon Sandra Hagelstam‘s extremely inspirational blog – 5 inch and up. Aside from her obvious love of heels, she is devastatingly beautiful, she has great taste and often features budget-friendly items. The Finnish beauty also includes readers in her new projects, travels and favorite finds. Check her out.

What I Wore: A tutu, among other things

(what I wore: blouse – vintage from potter’s house thrift, skirt – old navy, tutu – dance supply store, tights – hue, boots – aldo, jewelry – vintage and forever21)
Every time I put these thigh-high heeled boots on I feel a little like Hooker McCanIWearthistoWork. However, I believe they can be done in a ‘tasteful & edgy’ way instead of a ‘streetwalker – pretty woman’ way. Hopefully that was accomplished with this outfit. Either way, I didn’t get walked out by HR, so no matter.

What I Wore: Winter White

(what I wore: dress – impressions, tights – hue, booties – asos, earrings – kate spade)
This sweet little dress will forever remind me of my wedding. I wore it to our day-after brunch, where I promptly ate carbs for the first time in a month.That didn’t go over so well but anyway, all in all it was such a lovely experience where I was able to speak to so many loved ones that I didn’t have a chance to at our wedding. Alas, I digress. Here is how I wore it that day (with some of my sweet college friends).

What do you think? Does it work with the black tights? I am obsessed with the booties I have on but I think they may not work with this look. It might need more of a platform since the dress is a longer length and I am a shorty.
PS: the booties are $27 on asos.com right now!

What I Wore: Patterns

(what I wore: dress – vintage laura ashley, tee – no boundaries, tights & earrings – forever21, ring – mom’s, platforms – vince camuto)
I was initially a little unsure about this look but I loved how it turned out. Quirky and fun.

What I Wore: American Girl

(what I wore: sweater – ralph lauren, skirt – unnamed vintage, booties – target, bracelets – forever 21)

I felt like this was an All-American kind of outfit. I’m currently obsessing over these wedge booties from Target! I’m the kind of person that will rock bare legs from time to time all winter, with the right footwear. There are only so many outfits that pair well with tights. Am I right?
