A Leopard's Stripes and A Stallion of Awesome






This skirt is surprisinly slimming.


shirt-Ralph Lauren, sweater-H&M, skirt-Mikkat Market, shoes-ShoeMint, cuff-Martin&Osa,
ring-JewelMint, necklace-Anthropologie (other necklaces here)


This skirt is so amazing, its fitted without being tight and adds some much needed edge to this shirt/sweater combo. As soon as this skirt came in the mail my immediate reaction was to pair it with stripes to play up the leopard print while also playing down its va-va-voominess. I'm always more interested in wearing pieces against type, pairing the punky with preppy, the sexy with the tomboy, the hard with the soft.  With that being said the necklace adds some art-deco glam to this sex-kitten-on-the-bottom-librarian-on-the-top ouft and was a last minute thrown on when putting this all together.

And I can't even begin to explain how sickening these wedges are.  They make my feet look like hooves, but in a totally sexy way since I am a stallion of awesome! At least that's what I said to a co-worker when he asked what was up with my shoes.

  1. I have a long (below the knee) black pencil skirt like that. It used to make the rounds of my friends. No matter what your body shape or size practically you look fabulous. It's been present at seminars, funerals, speeches, first dates, last dates, church and countless job interviews. It's so old it has come back in style and it still fits or at least will by the end of the month! I need some hot leopard print pumps go with!

  2. Can you imagine me walking down the aisle with these shoes at the wedding? Now that would have been fun!

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
