Event Outfitting

Next month at the Carnegie Musuem of Art I'll be attending a screening of the film

The Seasons in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger

I hate to be a dilettante, but alas that is the nature of this modern age of pop culture over true art, blah blah blah... Anyway I don't know much about John Berger, but I DO know that my spirit animal, Tilda Swinton(!!!!) will be attending the screening to introduce the film as one of its producers and directors!!!!! Tilda in Pittsburgh, talking and walking in real life and I have officially lost my shit ready to burn down the house!!!!!!


So, yes I need a haircut ASAP, and I need to figure out what I'm wearing. Obvie I need to put together something avant garde, but this is still Pittsburgh, not Paris so some level of real world wearability is called for. Tickets and more info on this event here!

 Initial outfitting thoughts,  maybe go with some recent purchases like this wrap dress.
Finery 

Or, these culottes...

Everlane

Or, go with graphic pieces like my all-time favorite of stripes like this look from last spring:



Or do a novetly-esque print like this "peacock" tunic I rocked this past summer in this post.


 OR, do I bust out the big guns and Rent the Runway...
Slate & Willow
Slate & Willow

OR, maybe I the jumpsuit route from this post....



Granted this is a maternity jumpsuit, but it's not like there's a huge "baby bump" panel announcing that. We shall see, I'm just so super excited and can't wait to see my spirit animal live and in person!

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 ...
