06302014 – A Twist on Stars and Stripes

Style / June 30, 2014

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I definitely did 🙂  So fun having some of my best pals come up to visit and spend the entire weekend with B and I.  Here’s my Monday morning, what I wore to work today, outfit post!  Mind my overly processed, 70s looking photos… I think I got a little edit happy (oops).  Keep reading to check out more photos of this outfit and some shopping ideas inspired by this look! <3

I’m not too sure if I’m totally liking the treatments I did to my photos but I thought I’d try for something a little different.

Getting dressed this morning was actually quite easy.  After doing my hair and what little makeup I can pull myself to wear these days (I’ve been going more and more minimal with my makeup the further we get into summer.  Embracing the natural look has been the best thing ever!) my eyes were immediately drawn to my Jeffrey Campbell See Stars ankle boots.  As always, I look at these things as ‘signs’ and built an outfit around them.

Most of my Jeffrey Campbell shoes are platform-y wedges and so they haven’t been getting too much love lately as I’ve been going for more streamlined footwear.  These stiletto heels with a minimal half inch platform were just the right amount of chic that despite them being ‘boots’ they still work well with a warm weather outfit 🙂

The star studs are amazing!  They’re the entire reason why I fell in love with these shoes in the first place.  They add quite a bit of weight to the already heavy leather boots but I wouldn’t have it any other way.  Toughening up an outfit always makes it feel a little more ‘me’ sometimes.

Getting a little wild with accessories lately.  Loud shoes, loud necklace, buttons on my jacket and a bold fedora… it all sounds like so much but at the same time all seemed so right hehe.

I definitely have to say this denim jacket from H&M has become quite the Summer staple for me.  Its light enough that I don’t feel overly hot or weighed down but keeps me warm in the chilly office during the day and when it gets a little cooler in the evenings (not that it gets that much cooler).

Here’s a shot of the side of my boots.  They zip on the insides for easy on and off.  Also, here’s my black Henry Jones hat.  I can’t stop obsessing over Goorin‘s hats.  I’ve already got my eyes on another one that I’ll be purchasing real soon 😉 Here’s what I’m wearing from top to bottom:

  • Black Henry Jones Fedora (Grenadier – Goorin Bros)
  • Turkish Coin Necklace (Forever 21)
  • Stretch Denim Jacket (H&M)
  • White Tshirt (Mossimo)
  • Striped Satin Skirt (H&M)
  • Oversized Dual Tone Watch (Michael Kors)
  • See Stars Ankle Boots (Jeffrey Campbell)

I hope all of your week’s have gotten off to a great start!  Happy Monday again and keep reading for some shopping ideas inspired by today’s look (I’m a little tempted to order the spiked brogues in the list below hehe) <3

    Nice denim jacket, lovely skirt, and very cool boots. I like your necklace and your hat as well. Cool handbag. Such a pretty face you have, even including your fine smile and hairstyle.
