Ensemble du Jour: 3-4-11

Pros: More outfit posts. Cons: iPhone photo at night in full length mirror. Let's just call this "arty", shall we?

You can sort of see the important stuff - vintage faux leopard jacket from Shrimpton Couture, Rosalind Keep Trompe L'Oeil trench dress, leggings from Sock Dreams and Gap cap-toe ballet flats. The plexi and pearls bracelet is from Etsy.

This is shown as a dress but even at 5'3" there is no way I'd wear this to work without leggings. Yikes!

All mobile pics, all the time around here. That's quality!

Ensemble du Jour

The Outfit
This looks remarkably similar to my other outfit from the tea party, but it isn't the same, I promise! I did wear another black v-neck top but the skirt is a shorter pleated skirt in black. I'm wearing the black version of my patent leather Aerosole heels with the silver buckle. I am wearing my Champagne necklace because it works so well to tie in the silver buckle on the shoes.





The Focal Point
I loved the look how Gala pulled her leggings down over her heels so I decided to do the same with my new turquoise leggings from Target (bought on sale).



It's funny how a few inch difference gives a whole new feel to the piece.




I feel like a dancer on the way to class.

Ensemble du Jour

I'm in a much better mood today, thank you. I went home, had a pedicure last night (chipped polish is such a downer) and ate some yummy chicken pot-pie and salad for dinner. It's a still cold but sunny day so I awoke much improved in mood.

The Outfit
Did I wear black all week or did it just seem that way? I wanted to finally wear some color. But it's still cold out so, yes, I'm actually wearing leggings. I know, I know but I'm not wearing them as pants (a la Lohan) and that's okay, right? Brown v-neck sweater, denim skirt, brown leggings with bright teal/aqua accents. I'm wearing a vintage bubblegum necklace, a fringe-y wrap and then my funky argyle shoes.



I actually saw these shoes through Polyvore when I was looking up argyle stuff the other day and the color was so bright and fun I thought I would get them. They are a brand I have never heard of, Not Rated, and they are pretty inexpensive. These are not high-end heels by any stretch but for a just-for-fun buy I didn't want to pay a lot. I actually got these through Endless and they were only $35 once they applied the $5 off, but they are also available on Zappos too, albeit for $46. But you can try and do the price matching policy Zappos has.



They're pretty cute, right?






I love the pattern and I really love the lacing on the front. It's one of my favorite details ad so cute on a round-toe pump. And I love love love the color. Such a cheery blue to help keep me in a good mood!
