Girly Heart Dress for a Grown Woman

This is an old, goofy little Forever 21 dress that I almost didn't buy. It's a little too short, and combined with the heart print and bow it reads very juvenile. But it's just so cuuuuute! I wore it with naked legs once to a Chicago Pride Parade (where all bets are off), but otherwise I always wear it with super dark tights and very grown-up accessories.

White Pants Wednesday: Episode 1

Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day!? That's one of those old, lame rules like not wearing black and navy together, or always matching your belt to your shoes.

These old Gap corduroys are obviously made for the cold weather. Paired with other heavy fabrics (pony hair, thick sweater), these white pants look positively fresh in a sea of black pants and opaque tights.

Spikes and Stripes

I don't know what it is about these gold jeans, but they always photograph like they are just plain old khakis! Weird.

Anyway, this was from a day when the temperature decided to take a random nosedive in June. Thankfully, I left myself a few sweaters. This was kind of a play on a preppy look with a bunch of spikes for contrast.
