Dress, Joe Fresh; cardigan, Zara (thrifted); belt, H&M; boots, Frye
Another weekend casual look, made up of pieces you’re probably terminally sick of seeing on the olde blog. Mostly, this is an excuse to show you my first attempt at a Gibson roll (tuck?) …
I’ll keep trying …tights + boots seasonhappy to be snow-free
… which, in all honesty, I probably should have kept to myself. It looked ok from the front, but the back was a wee bit tragic. (I think you can see a rogue bobby pin in there if you were to zoom in. Please don’t.) But I like the idea of it, so I’m going to keep trying. If anyone has tips for mastering this ‘do, hit me up in the comments.
Skirt, Hugo Boss (via consignment); sweater, J. Crew Factory; necklace, J. Crew; shoes, Ivanka Trump; bag, YSL (via eBay)
I rely on black a lot when it comes to my work wear, so it’s nice to break the habit every now and then. No black here – the shoes are dark green, scout’s honour. I always worry about looking like a clown when I wear All Colour, but I like how this turned out. And I was thrilled to realize I had a necklace that matched the print of this Boss skirt to perfection. What are the odds, eh?
Dress, Simply Vera (thrifted); cardigan, J. Crew Factory; belt, H&M; bag, Longchamp (thrifted); boots, Bandolino (thrifted)
I loved this outfit, you guys. You can usually tell how much I like my outfit from the number of photos I put up, so consider this your warning – it’s going to be a picture-heavy post. I thrifted this Simply Vera dress at Goodwill (which meant it cost me a whopping $7 – yay, Goodwill!) and there’s nothing too special about it, I guess; I just adore the colours in the print. A friend of mine said it reminded her of camouflage, but I see watercolour-like florals. Regardless, moody green is where I’m at, currently, as far as colour goes so this dress is totally my jam.
Outlander homage?mah bag!
I also thrifted the boots and bag – for under $20 together. Not bad for leather boots and a Longchamp bag, right? In fact, the most expensive single item I’m wearing here was probably the belt, which cost something like $30.
Another thing I’m loving at the moment is displaying my vintage brooch collection on chunky knits. This mild fall has been fantastic for that – no heavy parkas in sight.
Ok, a few more photos for the road. Happy Monday, y’all!
feeling pretty… you know, in case the bazillion photos was not a giveawaylast one, I promise
