Outfits Not Just Clothes

 Of course there are no parties and the dumpster fire that was 2020 is still raging here in 2021, but at least we have hallway mirror selfies... Another outfit that I COULD have worn for a killer night on the town! Now that's a wedge!  blazer-Luciano Barbera(similar here via TheRealReal ) shirt-Anthropologie(similar here ), jeans-Asos(similar here ), wedges-Shoe Mint(similar here and here via Poshmark ), necklaces-Pavement(similarish here ) & Merjui The top half of this OOTD is a mix of business and Boho, while the bottom half is all rock n' roll. It can be hard to pull off such disparate aesthetics in one look, and there are so few occasions (even in the before times) where this outfit would have been appropriate, I'm obvie not wearing this to the office or playdates. But for going out, whether real or fantasized, the similar color palette amongst all of the pieces, the way the prints mirror each other, and general attitude of the look make for a reasonably eclectic...

blazer-J.Crew(similar here ), shirt-Old Navy(more patterned shirts here ), culottes-Uniqlo(similar from Mango here ), belt-Gap(more belts here ), boots-L.L. Bean(similar here )  Can you feel the autumnal-realness just oozing out of these shots? If not, too bad because this is my last official Fall Outfit for the season. It's December now, but I couldn't help but post this OOTD what with the fox-printed button-down, this tweedy houndstooth blazer, and wool culottes, plus the rugged boots! The blazer was last seen here  similarly styled, but leaned in more on the androgyny note with the vintage menswear vest. Both looks are not only fall-realness, but British-countryside-realness, with a nod to the very English tradition of fox hunting with the print of the shirt. Speaking of foxes, while I wasn't able to link to a similar pattern shirt from Old Navy, I did find this piece  from a newly discovered site Rock Flower Paper  ...
