Who doesn’t love some good juxtaposition? Leather & silk, black & soft pink. Of course, if you’re me, you won’t be able to stop at any sort of subtle statement; no, you will also throw in a psychedelic skirt because it’s kinda matchy and also because it’s cute and you need more occasions to wear it. I love my Sunday afternoon “date nights” because they can excuse (or justify) just about any outfit.

Everything here is old apart from the blouse, which is Equipment and was thrifted for $3, new with tags. Did I mention how much I love Goodwill? I don’t wear a lot of pink, but I’m a sucker for silk. I also had a tank top in the *identical* shade of pink — perfect for layering under this blouse (which would otherwise be a tad too sheer, and a tad too low cut). Typically, I avoid tops that require undershirts, but this was a closet pairing waiting to happen. Who am I to get in the way of fate?

This, my friends, is schmatta chic — kinda shapeless, kinda kooky. Kinda awesome, too. Needless to say, I love the print mix happening with this Vanessa Virginia tunic dress; the silhouette is not my usual kick, but I will always pick “too loose” over “too tight”, so I’m not hating on it. In fact, it’s a perfect weekend, throw-it-on-and-go dress. On top, I added my ubiquitous leather jacket because that is how I roll on weekends, as long as this unseasonably warm weather continues. I’m not the only one hoping it lasts until Christmas, am I?

My favourite dress detail is definitely the embroidery on the sleeves. Nice touch, Anthro!

As for the rest of the outfit, I like how the boho vibe of these olive-grey Seychelles boots pairs with the dress, but looking at these photos, I think the olive green tights were overkill — mostly because they’re a mismatched, darker shade. I’ll probably choose black tights or leggings next time. Live and learn.
