Sometimes when you get a new piece you want to wait for the perfect occasion to wear it, but sometimes that takes MONTHS. So rather than waiting forever to wear my new Saint Laurent patchwork blouse, I wore it last weekend to do some shopping with my parents. I look like a crazy hippie (compared to all the sweatpants and Uggs) in this outfit and I kind of love it. People in Home Goods probably thought I was insane, but I'd rather be overdressed than be in sweatpants. It was also FREEZING so my Dad and I shot these pictures super fast so I wouldn't turn into a popsicle without my jacket on.
Vintage Suede Jacket: William Barry - Brandon Colorado (Vintanthromodern), Patchwork Blouse: Saint Laurent (eBay), Flare Jeans: Free People (Marshalls), Boots: Tabitha Simmons (Roundabout Resale), Necklace: BubuRuby, Sunglasses: Chanel (bought in Greece)
And here's a weird video I did while shopping in Home Goods. So many mirrors!
Loves to get bargains on clothes and is obsessed with Harry Potter and Disney. By day she is a freelance graphic and web designer. She also has a slight obsession with movies.
I agree that it's far better to wear something new right away then wait forever for a perfect occasion. And even if it's just a shopping trip to Home Goods - I'd rather look amazing than be caught in public wearing sweatpants and uggs. http://www.iamchiconthecheap.com/
I love that printed shirt on you, so great with the flared jeans and the fringe! :)
I agree that when you get something new, you want to wear it and enjoy it - no matter the occasion! It's better to go out wearing something you love than saving it for a special occasion and you never getting to enjoy it much!
I love that you just totally went for it - and it looks amazingly cool, hippie chic indeed!

Great look - and you're waaaay too put together to look like a hippie :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to agree - I rather be overdressed than underdressed.
