Wearing a Pencil skirt 3.0



A la a modern day version of The New Look with a below the knee skirt, over sized collar jacket, leather gloves, sheer hosiery, and nude platform heels.

Wear it ultra femme to work in shades of pink. Working in the corporate world makes you appreciate a dose of unabashed girliness...

Wear it casual with a super soft tee and your boyfriend's sweater.

Further proof that I am a trendwhore:I'm kinda loving the hoof-like clogs and drawstring bucket bags?

prep school

Maybe I'm rebelling from my days of having pink hair and a lip ring...
Maybe it's from watching too many episodes of Gossip Girl...
Maybe it's from browsing the JCrew website til my retinas burn out...



BUT...
I really want to button my collar all the way.
And wear thin socks with heels.
And own a dove gray sweater vest.
And a navy blazer with SHOULDERS (can't be too preppy).

spring coat...

Like any real Chicagoan, I am cursing March/winter/this weather!!!!! A girl can only take so much snow+cold+wind. A couple of 50 degree days are nice and all but....

The second the stores put out their spring collections, I was over winter. I need sunshine and 70 degree weather STAT. Why must they tease us????

Since we do have a looooooooooong (and wet and windy) transition period here in Chicago, I am on the hunt for the perfect late winter/spring coat.



I am totally obsessed with finding the perfect hunting/anorak/surplus jacket. Preferably in a charcoal gray. My 19 year old sister has this awesome army green version and I feel too old wearing something that my teenage sister does... BUT I AM ONLY 20 **cough**. Also, in need of a little wood handled clutch that would fit like $5 and my keys and nothing else.


I may not be a teenager, but I still feel too young for a full on khaki trench coat. I am hunting down the perfect cropped red trench with oversized collar and gold buttons. Is that too much to ask for?? And since I love blinding people with my disregard for color "rules" I would totally pair it with one of those romantic blush pink dresses this spring.

the return of the kitten heel...?

Versace


This season, they're trying to bring back the kitten heel....

Ehhh.
No thanks.
