Winter Lace



What I'm wearing:
Forever 21 Vintage Tribute Woven Top (similar here)
Old Navy Tank
anthropologie Fulmar Sweater Skirt
H&M Tights
Frye Dorado Slouch Boots (similar here)

I love that this lace top has a lovely romantic quality to it, the pale lace, the flowy sleeves, the floral design within the lace. I picked up this top from Forever 21 when I was still in Atlanta, but I had no idea what to pair it with. I do enjoy the juxtaposition of the lace with the sweater skirt, which is adorned with birds. 


I have a few items on their way to me, but besides that I am really trying to cut down on my shopping. It's always fun to have new stuff but I know without a doubt that I just have too many material possessions. I am pleased that today I paired a new top with a skirt from 2008 and boots from 2007. I have tried unsuccesfully before but am now avowing on the platform that is my blog that I will make a strong effort to try and stop buying items that I don't need, and only purchase items that will enhance what I already have in my closet. It sounds more real if I post it here than just telling it to myself in my head. =)

    Rosa--This is one of my favorite outfits ever! I love that Lace Top from F21. I want to copy this outfit oh so badly! Do you remember what it's called/how much it was/how long ago you got it?

    So darling! You look very attuned to the world today. I hear you on the topic of cutting down shopping. I find myself with many lemming cravings from all the fab blogs around. I like your attitude -- not completely denying yourself from buying new things, just looking for pieces that complement what you already have. I have adopted a similar path (not always successfully though).

    You found a perfect match for that top! I would have only thought to pair it with jeans. :) Cutting down on shopping is hard, but I know what you mean. On the plus side, you have your newly sister-enhanced wardrobe, which is probably a lot of fun.

    I saw this top a while ago and loved it and when I went to place a F21 order yesterday it was sold out in my size :( Maybe my store will have it because it's gorgeous!
