To Die By Your Side, Would Be a Heavenly Way to Die





What I'm wearing:
*Blue Zara Button Down (similar here)
*J.Crew Toothpick Ankle Cords in Dark Charcoal (similar here)
*anthropologie In-Flight Jacket (similar here and here)
*MICHAEL Michael Kors Townsend Oxfords (similar here and here)
*Michael Kors Oversized Black Watch (similar here)

Today is definitely one of those grey gloomy days. I would have posted earlier but I was meeting a friend for lunch (and a glass of wine!). To be honest this is not a look that I normally wear. I usually don't like wearing pants, but this kind of weather made it a necessity, especially because I don't feel like wearing tights. I figured I'd give these toothpick ankle cords another spin before they get put away for the spring/summer. This Zara button down is Sophia's, and she always looked so cute in it so I decided I'd try it out too! Even though I am really not used to tucking stuff in, I always feel like I will come undone any second. But I did really like the way it looked, especially with my In-Flight Jacket layered on top.


I thought that these Townsend Oxfords were a funky twist on a current trend. I love the lucite layer in the platform, I think it's different and fresh!

  9. You've got the perfect slouchy shirt thing going on.

    And those heels kickass! Are they comfy for walking around in? I kind of really want them but don't think I can rock a 5" heel like you do (or at all, for that matter).

  14. I love the detailing on the shoes! I love the whole outfit really- women always look really sexy in something vaguely masculine.

    Is that the Anthro Lift-Off Jacket without the flower pin, or is this a different jacket? Super cute on you!

  17. Betsy,
    The wall decal is from amazon! Here is a link.

    Lisa,
    The platform definitely makes a huge difference. And I always have a pair of flats in my purse, just in case I need them.

    Kim,
    This is the anthro lift off jacket! I just didn't love the flower so I took it off.

  18. Those are some sweet shoes! I feel the same way about tucking in my shirts – I always feel so awkward, but you are totally right about how this looks...a winner!

  19. I love it. Were you the one who said you didn't like wearing skinnies? Because if you were, you look SMASHING in them! I always have an issue with tucking things into pants because my pants are typically low-rise, which makes things way too prone to coming undone. But I agree with you, I love how that shirt looks tucked in!

  20. You look fabulous in this outfit. It's casual but still chic, especially with those shoes! I wish I could rock a 5 inch heel.
    I might have to copy this, perhaps for my upcoming visit to NYC. Don't be upset if you see a copy cat running around, lol.
