What I Wore Today

This is a look that I like to refer to as the AC/DC based on the classic red and black horizontal stripped shirt and the very classic cabbie hat. I have been a bit behind on my posts so this one is actually a couple of months old. But we’ll get you caught up, don’t you worry my pretties!

When ever you’re in doubt about what to wear the first thing you consider should be weather and comfort. You don’t want to be “that girl” that standing out side a bar looking ridiculous because she insisted on wearing the tiniest thing she owned. Rather, you should pick a staple piece and try it with a couple of different looks. And remember, tights are your friends, use them! There’s nothing sexy about a shivering girl dressed out of season.

What I Wore Today

For the last couple of weeks the weather has been pretty crap. First we had a steady stream of mist falling from the sky for about a week. Then came the really hard rain. Now it’s just cold. If you’re anything like me, getting motivated when the weather is all rainy is darn near impossible. I didn’t want to leave my house, bed, or PJ’s but we all have to do things we don’t want to.

Though I normally dress up a bit when I go out I decided to keep it ultra casual and spend the night playing pool rather than karaoke. If I recall correctly I was so uninterested that I didn’t even put makeup on…gasp! But when it rains I need to feel as comfortable as possible. Here I am wearing all my favorite casual wear.

What I Wore Today

This outfit actually took quite a long time to get just right. I knew I wanted to go for more of a Parisian look, which translates into Black and white horizontal stripes.

I first tried this black mini with an umbrella sweater but even with the mini skirt it looked too boxy. I then tried it with another sweater but the fabric just seemed too heavy for the skirt also making it a poor choice. Then I found this shirt and was originally going to wear it untucked but I wanted cleaner lines in the silhouette. I toyed with some belts and knee socks but none of them seemed to feel natural. Then I tinkered with some suspenders and came out with this cross-over number.

What I Wore Today

It’s been a pretty hot last couple of weeks and I don’t know about you but I don’t deal too well with the heat. I hate runny makeup and sweating when I’m standing still. Shorts have played a huge role in my summer look I like to dress them up and I like to dress them down. The hat made me a little hotter than I expected but I couldn’t just take it off, I’d planned the whole outfit around it.
This boho look received any compliments and despite the hat was a pretty good choice given the temperature. But one must suffer for fashion every once and a while.

The Look:

Red Hat: Urban Outfitters

Top: Urban Outfitters

Shorts: Charlotte Russe

Tights: American Apparel

Boots: Isaac Mizrahi (Target)

What I Wore Today

Since the summer sun decided to finally show up I felt like celebrating as Thom and I traveled to LA for our good friend Matt’s 25th birthday party. It was about 90 degrees out but I felt great thanks to my roomy/breathable weather appropriate culottes! Remember, it’s even more fun to dress fashionably during the day than it is at night!

The Look:

Fedora Hat: Brixton (Borrowed from Thom)

Stripped V-Neck: $5.99 Store

Culotte Shorts: Charlotte Russe

White Studded Pumps: Charlotte Russe

Vintage Gold Chain: American Apparel

White Rimmed Sunglasses: Knock off Dior

What I Wore Today

I got this amazing shirt at Urban Outfitters on sale for somewhere in the neighborhood of $10, which is amazing seeing a how it was originally much more and I had wanted it for so long. Thom wasn’t too stoked on it, but I loved the daring triangular details on the tops of the shoulders. Pairing it with just about anything one can achieve a sort of punk rock Parisian look. One  of my favs, with undertones of the 80’s I was comfortable and stylish.

Top: Sparkle & Fade (Urban Outfitters)

Skirt: Forever 21

Fake Plastic Glasses: Vintage Inspired (no name)
