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...

 Yep, that's a David Bowie pin and a guitar  necklace!!!! blazer- J.Crew Factory , shirt-Anthropologie(similarish here ), pants- Uniqlo , loafers- G. H. Bass , Bowie Pin-Wildfang(more pins here ) The post title says it all, right?! This outfit is firing on all style cylinders, from the mix of plaid and novelty print, to the rock n' roll accessories, all made work appropriate with traditional navy trousers and loafers. Color also plays an important role in making this work, since both the plaid and seasonally appropriate "April Showers" pattern are rendered in blues and greens. And let's not forget that this is my basic style uniform(seen here , here , here , and here ) of pants, a printed shirt, and a blazer!
