What I Wore: Black & Blue

what I wore: blouse – ann chabrol, skirt – freeway, heels – gianni bini, earrings – mom’s

These are my “game of thrones” earrings. They look like little pirate swords and I plucked them from obscurity in my mom’s closet the other day. I’ve always been crazy about my mom’s jewels and have been lifting them from her for close to 16 years. Every time I look through her jewelry I find something I haven’t seen before – something I want… Luckily, she lets me borrow and borrows from me.

What I Wore: In Black & White

what I wore: dress – max & cleo (old), heels – report signature, bag – vieta, sunnies – asos, earrings – vintage via mae’s

I’ve had this dress for at least 5 years and I couldn’t believe it when I couldn’t find a previous instance where I posted about it. It’s a really versatile and fun dress that I’ve worn to weddings & work alike.

What I Wore: Black Separates

what I wore: top – lna via shop lola, trousers – the limited, belt/watch – forever 21, cuff – express, ring – hemline, necklace – urban outfitters, heels – miss me

Whenever I wear separates (which is not often) they have to be good. I don’t think I’ve ever thrown on chinos and a top. Since I’m honed in on dresses most of the time, it takes a lot for a pant to speak to me. Last night I dug deep in to the recesses of my closet, where I keep the pants that don’t fit and found these gems. I don’t remember buying them but they’re a great length and I love the belt loops that are large enough for a giant belt. Paired with a tank I bought on sale at Shop Lola and a few accessories – it’s one of my favorite ‘separates’ look.

What I Want: High Tops

Ever since I saw Kate Bosworth wearing this I have wanted wedged sneakers. I’m not exactly in the financial place to splurge on Isabel Marant, so I’m weighing the other options. I’ve always loved wearing comfortable kicks but at under 5’3″ I don’t like to sacrifice the height. These would provide the perfect marriage of comfort and fashion! I found some fun options on ebay as well.

What I Wore: All American

what I wore: blouse – vintage ralph lauren, jeans – asos, earrings – grey dog, wedges – gianni bini

Sometimes I love an easy blouse/denim combo. It feels both classic and fresh.

The shoe to wear with everything

dolce vita booties, $78 Shop Lola
I got these booties for my DC trip and literally wore them with everything from a mini dress to maxi dress to cargo skinnies. I’ve never owned a shoe I could/would wear with anything. I’m obsessed. Here’s one example.

What I Wore: The Marine Layer

what I wore: dress – vintage via cheap thrills, platforms – go jane, earrings – charm & chain
This lovely little number can be worn many ways thanks to the sash that can be wrapped inside or out. I love a good kaftan!

What I Wore: Pumped Up Kicks

what I wore: dress – vintage from grey dog (also seen here), shoes – go jane
So…I’ve been really into my new orange shoes from gojane. I love the idea of a girly dress and sneakers. There’s nothing more comfortable.

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!
