bicycles, boots & a cardigan
This dress makes me happy— it’s got such lovely little details and the pattern is fun and the palette is a tish vintage just like the cut of the dress. And there’s pockets! Who can say no to pockets? Not me. Other things that make me happy— patternmashing! The cardigan is a more subtle/low-contrast leopard print in addition to all these crazy bicycles. dress: anthropologie / cardigan: gap / boots: steve madden
it's about the details: pleats, pattern & pockets
simple cuts & quirky colors
I tend to stick to simple cuts (like the pencil skirt—my favorite wardrobe staple) but mix it up by using a less-traditional color. I wouldn’t really call mustard, russet & moss “quirky” but in comparison to the more standard fare of black/gray/navy, I think it’ll work. cardigan: jcrew / tee: forever21 / skirt: jcrew / shoes: MIA
bold black & white stripes
More stripes! ALL OF THE STRIPES! I am addicted to the punchy graphic dash they add to the mix. & I feel like these in black & white are a more polished version of the cream & russet of the previous outfit which helps offset my converse and moto-sweatshirt-jacket. jacket: urban outfitters / top: french connection via rue la la / denim: gap / shoes: converse
