Cape Drama

This drama-filled cape is yet another fun piece from Le Tote Maternity. I featured other pieces from that tote here and here. Truth be told, I would have never considered a patchwork cape as an outfitting option to buy outright. But, to borrow via a clothing subscription, it's a great piece to play around with and not have to fear buyer's remorse, or feel the need to keep wearing it (to justify the purchase) if it doesn't necessarily mesh with one's overall personal aesthetic. 

Speaking of personal aesthetic I'm loving the color palette in this outfit. Teal, navy, with some magenta equals a cool-toned take on autumnal hues. I'm huge fan of navy in general and even though I'm sporting a fall fashion chic look, navy on it's own is really a seasonless/timeless color. And these wool sweatpants are so comfy, yet sharp. I've been sporting them for work and they are like incognito dressy trousers. 

I'm also loving the laidback silhouette, which again, as in yesterday's post is giving me some Golden-Girls-Realness, check out a similar patchwork piece on Dorothy!

I may have stumbled into the latest trend in maternity fashion, just copy a Golden Girls episode, I'll have to think on this some more... In the meantime let the cape drams commence with a few silly pics:




I guess this is my take on a super-hero pose because you know I'm wearing a cape!

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!    

A Little Rockabilly, A Little Punk Rock

How punk rock is this sweater?! I like how the pinkish color of the shirt is like a flesh tone, giving the idea of exposed skin while still being covered up . And these strands have a lovely drape.   sweater/skirt-Mikkat Market(similar here and here ), shirt-Nasty Gal(similar here ), heels- Nine West     This outfit is all about mixing up dynamics.  The leopard print pencil skirt is a major shout out to rockabilly-vixen- Bettie-Page -realness, while the shredded-backed sweater pays homage to my girl Nancy Spungen .  These two style mash-ups are brought together and softened by this soft and airy button-down shirt, which has its own amazing details with the collar tips.  Since there's a lot of references going on in this outfit I kept he shoes simple. Besides you usually can't go wrong with Mary Janes.     

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.
