Olive Sweater & Lace Slipdress

Wednesday, January 28, 2015

Sweater: Target, old (also worn here)

Slipdress: TFNC London via Revolve

Boots: BCBGMAXAZRIA

Bag: Chanel

Sunglasses: Dsquared2

You guys, it's been a minute since I put on anything I would deem photograph-worthy. My uniform these days consists of a lot of black, and flat shoes so I'm working on adding some more interesting versions of these things to my wardrobe. I'm going for quality not quantity, so it's taking me a while, because not only did we just come off the holidays ($$$$), and then award season (no time for life itself), but now I have several upcoming trips to account for. All good things, though - weddings, a bachelorette excursion to Vegas, another vacation to Trinidad for carnival (see last year's recap post here - cannot wait for this year's shenanigans) and also hopefully going to be able to squeeze in a quick anniversary trip with my hubby. We are coming up on 9 years of marriage. NINE YEARS?! Shit, when did that happen? We've actually been together for 14. In this day and age, that deserves a celebration if I do say so myself. We're thinking Mexico in May, but that's subject to change depending on what mouth-watering places Pinterest shows me between now and then.

A quick word on slips with lace on the bottom - they work wonders for elongating minidresses and tunics when worn underneath. Because sometimes you just don't feel like wearing pants.

Top: H&M

Jeans: 7Fam (also worn here)

Mules: Aldo

Bag: Gucci

Guys, H&M is killing it right now, and they must know it, because is it just me or have their prices been steadily inclining over the past little while? I feel like the clothes are growing up - maybe the clientele they started with is growing up too, and they are trying to keep their aging customers (ugh, yes that would be me). Although, depending on the location you go to, it pretty much feels like they are catering to everyone and their mom (literally).

Anyway, enough ruminating on H&M's business plan; this top was actually a steal at around $25, and the quality and detail are both pretty good. I was heading out for drinks at Pearl's Liquor Bar, and decided to toughen up the top with some black and some ripped jeans given the Sunset Strip location. Turns out Pearl's is just like my outfit - a mishmash of feminine, edgy, eclectic, and a little grungy. I'll be back for sure.

Lace Metallic Blush

Thursday, June 5, 2014

Dress: 12th Street Cynthia Vincent, old

Shoes: Elizabeth & James, old

Clutch: Halston Heritage

Sunglasses: Burberry

Dug this out and threw it on because I was hot and hung over. It's very of the moment, considering it is about 7+ years old, so it's likely going to stick around in my closet forever. I pretty much can't resist anything lace, metallic, and blush-colored right now.
