OMG...luxe

My top picks from Proenza Schouler Fall 2011

I really love this outfit in paticular.  The jacket is SO versatile ans slimming...all those beautiful proportions..and those teensy strapped shoes...iy yi yi.

River Side

So I had another blogger meet up!  At the rate of one per year, I believe I need to find more blogging friends!

My outfit was inspired by all the lovely caftan images I have been finding online as of late.  I wanted to feel light and airy in the bright hot heat!

The earrings I scored on Ebay a few years ago.  Bib necklace and ring soon to be available in my Etsy store!

Sunglasses are Liz Claiborn and the dress was a score from a clothing exchange with my friend Amber.  I believe she found it thrifting before that.

This ^ image is my favorite of the day.  Makes me feel like a model again!

Shoes by Vera Wang from my birthday gift card.  Bag from Old Navy (on mega clearance a few seasons back) and I got my fox tail on Ebay last year.

Outfit Experimenting

There is a trend for "boyfriend jeans" and I was quite unsure of how well I could pull it off. I have a long torso and I havent been impressed with items with a dropped crotch...they just make my torso look longer. However, I had these jeans in a drawer for my days off...of which I rarely am, and they were hand distressed and sharpie marker canvased by me when I found them at Fairy Godmother's Vintage about 5 years ago. So i decided to give it a try.

Jacket- H&M

V-Neck T- H&M in Egypt

Jeans- Fairy Godmother's Vintage in Mechanicsburg PA

Shoes- Ebay roughly 3 years ago

The silhouette seemed at first like it might be too disproportionate....but besides maybe less bubble shaped rolls I quite like the look. They aren't too wide and i like how thin they make my ankles look. I am very self conscious of proportions...

Later on in the evening I switched up the shoes with a pair of beige neutral gladiator wedges (much more comfortable) and a chunky brown beaded necklace. This was the bare minimum I could muster because I was chasing dreams again this morning. ^_^
