where’s the funeral?

Shorts(altered from cropped pants):Anthropologie.  Button-up: The Loft.  Belt, Shoes, Ring:Target.  Earrings: Pier1.

 Ladies.  I went black on black yesterday.  In the spring.  And I wore puffy sleeves and tucked my shirt in.  I’m breaking so many rules here, I don’t even know where to start.  I thought  I would be singing a goth tune in this ensemble, but with the yellow belt and colorful shoes, I felt great.  Don’t you love it when an outfit makes you feel great?  I tell you what, black on black is super sleek.

Also, as a general rule I avoid puffy sleeves like the plague (I don’t need anything making me look more infantile), but for this shirt, I make an exception.  Because it’s fabulous.

And by the way, white legs are super sexy now.  I’m surprised you didn’t know that…

  2. Girl, I’m gonna have white legs ’til pigs grow wings and fly on their own. And those sleeves aren’t extra puffy. Total ‘do.’ Plus, you broke it all up with a mustard (my favorite!) belt? Yep, black on black for the WIN!

    p.s. you remind me quite a bit of Isla Fischer, which I hope you don’t mind, because I think she’s fantastically beautiful!

  4. Thank you for making me feel sane for altering pants into shorts. I thought I was the only one! I feel ya on the all black making ya feel good….I actually did go to a funeral last week and I felt guilty feeling like I looked so good. But she would have laughed and wanted that, so I guess it’s all good!

    LOVE the top! Puffy sleeves are usually my nemisis too, but when they are talored so perfectly like those, you can’t go wrong!

    I love black on black…in the salon I worked at we used to have to wear all black. It was awesome cause it totally makes you get creative with your wardrobe…and it always looks put together even if its just a black t-shirt and black pants!
    Love the flats and the white legs (that aren’t so white! You should see mine!!)

  17. You look gorgeous… love the black on black!! I’m loving that you broke it up with the yellow skinny belt and the floral print ballet slippers also lend pattern & colour to the outfit! SO beautifully put together. Happy Tuesday. xx veronika
