Sweater, Bloch. Dress, Jones New York. Tights, We Love Colors. Peeptoes, Bitten. Headband, Forever 21.Now, some people might think that zebra + feathers + purple = ENOUGH going on in one outfit. Not me. I threw in another black and white pattern.
No, I didn’t actually carry my purse around my neck
And…it was raining, so I needed my umbrella and galoshes.
The roof isn’t leaking...yet.
Perhaps that is now a busy enough outfit for me. However, it isn’t warm enough. With our temperatures predicted to dip to 0 degrees this week, even my bus bundling isn’t enough. To supplement my wool coat, I bought a hooded, puffy vest to wear beneath.
I looked all over the mall for a puffy vest and only found loud colors, wrong sizes, and inadequate puffiness until I got to Deb, of all places. This vest is insanely warm (I was sweating in it above 32 degrees) and works even under a tailored coat. The best part is the hood! No flat hat hair.
There, I've had enough.
how you can manage to wear a hundred layers and still have a shape beneath your coat is astounding!
ReplyDeletei suppose the belted coat is the key, but really, if i tried that sort of layering, id just look like the stay-puff marshmallow man with a belt!
props to you for managing to look stylish in 0 degrees!
Your rainboots are just adorable :0) You always look so fun in whatever you are wearing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty dress!!!
ReplyDeleteThat third picture down is so amazing - you look like an M.C. Escher painting!!!
ReplyDeleteMy word verification is "nuters!" Which is what this outfit is, but in a good way!
this rocks!
ReplyDeleteI ADORE THIS LOOK..IT'S SO BUSY BUT IT WORKS!! I LOVE YOUR COAT TOO! I AM ON A MISSION FOR A BLACK COAT AND CANT FIND ONE I LIKE... WHY IS A BLACK COAT SO HARD TO FIND?
ReplyDeleteI love all the patterns together. I don't think it's too much at all. Really cute outfit.
ReplyDeleteI got red and white polka dotted rain boots from Target that are super cute, but I mainly use them for yard work. The weather where I am doesn't require them for normal wear.
i like it...it works!
ReplyDeleteCrazy busy = crazy awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of you in all the black and white patterns with umbrella brings joy to my heart. It's such a cheerful look.
So cute! I love all the patterns.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am SO stealing the idea of wearing a vest under a tailored coat. That's brilliant!
I love all the black and white patterns together. It made me really happy!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love all the black and white patterns -- they make me smile :)
ReplyDeleteI may have to check out that vest at Deb...I have been FREEZING at the bus stop lately!
Love that zebra print!
ReplyDeleteI am madly in love with your outfit, especially the tights!!
ReplyDeletewithout the bag, umbrella and galoshes - cute outfit.
ReplyDeletewith it - somehow gives the impression that Ugly Betty's wardrobe threw up.
just my opinion, as i see from comments that other bloggers liked it a lot.
if u were running in a garden or something, u could be mistaken for a zebra with all the stripes u hv going on there.
btw, hats off to u to take fashion risks!
love it! i look at your blog sometimes for ideas! i think you are quite creative. but i must say i do not envy the cold temperatures where you are, though i secretly wish i had a reason to wear those galoshes. those are fantastic!!
