Tweed and Leopard



Now its time for detail shots!!



Love the lining of this jacket especially since its a contrast to the lining of the sleeves.



Another contrasting lining

blazer/shorts-Anthropoloige(sort of similar here), blouse-Victoria's Secret(sort of similar here), belt-Gap(similar here), booties-Lehman's(similar here), jewelry-Cookie Lee c/o Debra Reed, tights-Asos(similar here)


 I'm kind of having a green tights kick as of late.  (You may recall from this post.)  I'm such a fan of tights with shorts, especially on the more mild winter days and it pains me that this is a no-no in my office.  I mean come on, how can anyone object to a classic tweed short?  Oh well... 

Anyway, I mixing up my tweeds here and am loving the details of both pieces.  The contrasting linings of the blazer work as a fun secret for the wearer. Same with the shorts.  You wouldn't know about them unless you had them on.  I don't know about you, but there are some pieces, some overall outfits that give me a bit of a thrill when wearing them.  And that thrill can make my day, a little silly I know, but some days you need any pick-me-up you can get.  And speaking of pick-me-ups, nothing works like a leopard print bootie, am I right?

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 ...
