somebody that I used to know

Aldo boots, Uniqlo coat, thrifted top, Zara skirt, vintage jewelry

For my birthday, I asked for some bananas insane, but still semi-classy black boots. I fell in love with these ones from Aldo. I like their Theyskens Theory-esque pointy toe, and the wedge makes their 5-inch height manageable for walking. I wore this outfit to go to a diner with my boyfriend in the middle of the day, and because I'm still in Jersey and not back in the city yet, they incited some discouraging looks by people wearing sad blue jeans and white running shoes. So am I ashamed? Abashed? Not even a little.

Some quick, shameless self-promotion: I was mentioned on the Careers in Fashion website as one of the top 100 best fashion blogs! It's such an honor, and these things haven't happened to me often. I've certainly never been mentioned in such good company as The Sartorialist, Into the Gloss, The Stylish Wanderer, etc.

Also, Unestablish has introduced a new line to their website that I'm loving, called Finders Keepers. Because they're coming from down undah, their wares are in the realm of sass&bide, lover, etc. They specialize in rompers, slip dresses, and generally sexy lil' things. Chh-chh-chh-check it out!
