Pattern Play

What I Wore: The Basic Black Dress

what I wore: dress – thrifted dkny, pointy pumps – thrifted michael antonio, earrings – forever21
I hadn’t been overly enthused about pointy toe heels coming back until I found these lovely stilettos at a thrift store. Never worn, $3. Deal.

What I Wore: The Green Gene

what I wore: dress – vintage via grey dog, earrings – vintage, ear cuff – the icing, platforms – FRH, rings – vintage via mae’s
This is one of the first dresses I bought from Grey Dog and it’s still a favorite. I typically wear it on St. Patty’s but also like to bring it out other times. Wearing green makes me feel lucky for some reason. The (gigantic) hair was a bit of an accident. I put leave-in conditioner on dry hair and put it up before I went to sleep. When I took it down this in the morning, I put it in hot rollers.

What I Wore: Blue Suede Shoes

what I wore: dress – isaac mizrahi for target (old – similar here, here, here ), blue suede heels – madden girl via tj maxx  similar here, here, here, earrings – vintage, ear cuff – claire’s (similar here)

I thought my favorite blue suede shoes would be perfect to pair with this ultra sweet and ladylike frock.

What I Wore: The Longest Legs

what I wore: trousers – asos, tank – old navy, jacket – bcbg, earrings – vintage via cheap thrills, platforms – FRH

I found these heels and knew they’d be perfect for the salmon colored ASOS trousers I’ve had for a year but haven’t worn. They are sooo long and I never actually get things hemmed (my love of heels stems from this laziness). I think they are the tallest I’ve ever worn, so I’m delightfully brimming on 5’9″.

What I Wore: Purple Please

what I wore: dress – vintage hal ferman, heels – target, earrings – vintage via mae’s

Color always helps lift my mood and I love this dress for its loose butfeminine shape. Also, how fun are these target heels I got for $7?

What I Wore: Greenery

what I wore: cardi – express, skirt – vintage melrose options via potter’s house, booties – gojane.com
I’ve been dying to try this outfit out. It’s an old (see 1995) Express cardi worn backwards with a new-to-me vintage silk skirt from potter’s house. Topped off with neon green booties (called yellow on site) I just purchased at gojane.com. Go Jane has been such an exciting find for shoes lately! The prices are great and the heels are high! I also got these great orange high tops that I plan to wear with delicate skirts ala TTH & some giant tweed platforms in blue. Scroll for more photos!

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.
