Incognito

In honor of the fact that I am (again) learning about World War I in my AP US History class, I decided to wear camouflage! I don't wear it very much, but it was just so cozy, I couldn't refuse when it called to me from my closet (don't look at me like I'm crazy for talking to my clothes!). Sorry that these photos are really sunny; we had another snow storm here in New York last Friday and the reflection makes everything blindingly bright.  The snow is almost melted though so fingers crossed we don't get another storm and my pictures will be a little easier to look at. 

I almost always wear bright colors, so this outfit is a little different for me.  What do you think?

Mixing Textures

I feel so bad that I have only been posting once a week lately, but school is so tough right now, and the weather has been so uncooperative, that I just haven't had the time or ability to take outfit shots or collage photos.  I am hoping after spring break I can get back into posting a few times a week. 

Anyway, it was pouring last Thursday, which always presents an issue clothing-wise.  The majority of my shoes are leather or suede, so I finally got a pair of Hunter rain boots a few months ago which have saved my precious shoes from being destroyed.  Also, you may note from most of my posts that I am not a big jacket-wearer.  Never have been.  I always find them uncomfortable and overly warm.  But I always try to buy one light jacket a year to prevent the stares that would ensue if I showed up to school in a tee shirt in 30 degree weather and no jacket.  My jacket this year is sort-of waterproof, so it was perfect for the downpours all last week.  

I love contrasting textures (as opposed to prints).  This outfit consists of wool, leather, plastic, metal, corduroy, and rubber. I think it creates a much more interesting look then just using the same fabric head to toe. Enjoy:)

Hope everyone had a nice Monday.  I am going on a school trip for a business competition tomorrow so wish me luck!

A Quick Getaway

If you follow any of my various social media sites (see above), or read my last post, you may have been very jealous to know that last week I escaped the remnants of storm Nemo and went to Florida to visit my grandparents.  The below outfit is a variation of what I wore in my five days there (it would have been longer but my February break got cancelled, shoutout to Superstorm Sandy).  It was a little cold there for shorts (it actually was 45 degrees one day which is like the arctic tundra for Florida), so I pretty much lived in Free People dresses (what else is new?).  

Also, it must be noted that I am completely obsessed with all things denim and slightly vintage looking, cue the Levi's vest.  I have a few vintage Levi jackets from my mom and dad, and I finally got my own at an Urban Outfitters sale.  Thoughts? 

Free People dress, Levi's denim vest, Jeffery Campbell shoes, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, watch, and ring, J.Crew belt, Ralph Lauren sunglasses, Anthropologie bangles, all other jewelry is vintage. 

Hope everyone had a slightly bearable Monday!
