What I Wore: Golden Girl

what I wore: dress – vintage from cheap thrills, belt – vintage from grey dog, earrings – kate spade, heels – vince camuto
This dress. Ahhh. It’s one of my favorite finds EVER. The brocade gold fabric is so luxurious. There is a little peter pan collar in the back that my go-go-gadget arms could not capture in photo. I’ve told you how into maxi dresses I’ve been and I wasn’t lying. I’ve worn several over the past few weeks. I also feel like vintage clothes are another art form.

What I Wore: Back Attack

what I wore: skirt – vintage from potter’s house, knit – dkny, heels – forever21, bracelets – family heirloom and evil eye from charm & chain, rings – all gifts, earrings & necklace – kate spade
I wore this semi-low cut knit backwards and loved the effect.

What I Wore: Fuchsia folie à deux

what I wore: blazer – liz claiborne petites, dress – forever21, heels – bcbg, skirt – max studio, sweater – thakoon for target, brooch/earrings – vintage, ring – kate spade
On Valentine’s day evening, I wore the monochrome fuchsia to dinner with my hubby. The next day, I was still in a pink state of mind but wanted to mix it up. So I pulled the bold blazer on over a black ensemble. I think I actually prefer the bold fuchsia look!

And look! Rooney Mara has my shoes! http://gofugyourself.com/well-played-rooney-mara-3-02-2012

What I Wore: Preppy Plaid

what I wore: jacket – vintage brooks brothers, dress – calvin klein, booties – forever21, pin – vintage
This jacket is one of my all-time favorite finds. I love the fit and the color is perfect for Razorback games that get a little chilly. Or anytime an outfit needs a little extra kick of prep.

What I Wore: Winter (Black &)White

what I wore: blouse – vintage via potter’s house, skirt – vintage apertif via cheap thrills, coat – my grandmother’s (seen here), tights – hue, slip – vintage, blazer & platforms – forever21, earrings – vintage via mae’s, rings – right purchased on a trip to France & left – dillards
Ahh winter white. I thought of this outfit in my head and was pleasantly surprised when it came out just as good on my person. That does not always happen. More often than not, a collection of pieces looks far better in my mind’s eye than on my body. It’s always nice to prove yourself wrong. Anyway, I love wearing white. I think it looks good in the summer when you have a bit of a glow and it looks great in the winter because as pale as I may feel, I’m never as “white” as white. I think the black really makes it pop. On a personal note, my girlfriends and I went to see Bring It On: The Musical last night. I was completely floored! It was so good! I highly recommend it.
PS: I finally made an extra hole in the ankle strap of my platforms (with a large safety pin). It made all the difference and now I don’t feel like I will die in those shoes one day.

What I Wore: Blue & Green

what I wore: dress – vintage from cheap thrills, bolero – vintage from potter’s house, purple heels – quipid, earrings – gift from Ro (charm & chain)
Look! It’s another transitional maxi dress! This time it’s blue, green and purple – oh my! Seriously, I am taking my maxi obsession to a whole new level. When I saw this dress (it has a low back by the way – can’t wait to bust it out this summer) I knew it would work with both my teal bolero and my padded purple-people-eater blazer. I chose the teal and I loved the combo.

What I Wore: Tied Up & Blue

what I wore: skirt – old navy, chambray shirt – levi, leopard flats – gap, earrings – mae’s, bun – sock bun via
I love the look of a tied button-up and long skirt. As I said, I’ve been so into maxi for this exceptionally mild winter we’ve been enjoying. It’s a great way to get away with not wearing tights but not look too summery. It also disguises the fact that I’m super-comfy wearing flats!
