Feeling like Wednesday on a Monday



What I'm wearing:
*J.Crew (outlet) Button Down Shirt (similar here)
*Gap Ponte Knit Dress (similar here and here)
*Forever 21 Woven Two-tone Belt (similar here)
*K. Bell Knee-highs from Costco (similar here)
*Frye Lisa T-Strap Mary Janes (similar here)
*Michael Kors Black Oversized Watch (similar here)

I'm not normally a person who likes to wear black. But I really like the way this black and white ensemble came together. I definitely feel a bit like Wednesday Addams though.

Can you tell I'm obsessed with these Fryes? I know I wear them all too often, but they are just so comfortable and I can walk all over the city in them. They aren't too high but give me just a bit of height so I don't feel stumpy.

You probably notice something new about the background of my photo. Lately I've been obsessed with wall decals (like the Paris one in my kitchen) because they are an inexpensive way to add some fun to a room without making permanent changes. They are all removable and reusable, which is really helpful when I'm renting an apartment and don't feel like dealing with re-painting and such before moving out. This one is from amazon.com, and is called "Perfect Sakura Blossoms". I have been having a hard time finding art or prints that I love (and can justify a higher price tag) so these are a great alternative that you can leave up for a lot or just a little.

  1. You are too cute – seriously! I love those decals, the fryes, and really the whole outfit. Not many women can pull off the knee socks look (I love it but not on me) and you totally can. Have a good Monday!

  5. I love everything about this outfit! I am still kicking myself for not getting the Frye t-straps in a different color. I have the pewter and they're dying. Sadness.

  11. What- you look too cute! I love the school-girl look and way to be bold with the knee socks. I love the concept but not brave enough to go through with it!

  14. I was about to comment on your new light fixture or furniture piece when I realized what it was! I love wall decals, too much fun. The ones you picked out are such a good price, too! The last ones I bought were from Blik, and they were pricey but looked really professional.

    And hehe, I see what you are saying about Wednesday Addams. I feel the same way when wearing black/white with a collar. I think this outfit is much sweeter than sourpuss Wednesday, though.

  15. The wall decals are a great idea, and they really add something extra to your place. I like that they come right off, too. I love the outfit, too! The knee socks? AHHH, you and Chloe are making me want to rock those! As for your Frye love, I understand. I have a pair of black boots from Frye and I LOVE THEM. So comfortable!
