winter is, err, coming

It’s November. And it’s starting to feel like it. Layers save the day, per usual. I had a few meetings in Bentonville and borrowed Elysian‘s alley to capture my ootd. Later, I walked into a gas station and a lovely gentleman with a tear tattoo on his face asked me if I was from LA because I looked “trendy”.

what I wore: dress – j.h. paul ltd, jacket – vintage leather via grey dog, watch – target, boots – asos, earrings – potters house, bowtie – forever21

This jacket is pretty major. I’m very excited about it. The dress is supposed to have a mid-calf hem but I used some hem tape to shorten and really loved the results.

what I wore: dress vintage st simon via grey dog, sunnies – potter’s house, socks/earrings/platforms – forever21

I got this dress last winter at Grey Dog. I’m not sure I even wore it last year, it screams Autumn which makes me feel like I should wear it in the fall or not at all. Anyway, if one can manage to fit it into the rotation, it’s so very cute and fun and quintessentially fall.

What do you think of thigh-high boots? They have a tendency to veer into the slutty if you’re not careful but I think they are fun when worn right.

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.

I’m always a fan of dressing on theme, even when there’s no occasion. I couldn’t resist wearing this newly acquired anchor tee with my favorite high waist navy trousers.

The Collar Stands Alone

December 8, 2011Leave a comment

I have loved the detachable collar for a while now. Thankfully, it’s become something of a trend so you can find them at a variety of price ranges. It’s wearable art! This particular type of jewelry is a statement. It can be worn with the simplest of ensembles to take them up a notch. Which one is your favorite?
