Obsessing over Nancy Sinatra, and Johnny Cash.

I'm a different character everday.

I'm completely insane for trying to alter this dress on my own, but it was originally a little long for my tastes. I don't own a sewing machine, nor do I have even a slight understanding of stitching. Nevertheless, I became a little scissor-happy after a weekend brunch and hacked up the bottom of this lovely vintage find. Yeah, I'm an ass. I'm going to find a friend to help me "mend" the situation. BUT on the plus side--ah! yes I am oh so savvy--I made a little suede turban out of the remaining fabric.  I'm considering adding a black suede strip to the bottom of the dress, for extra length and to complete the 60's drop waist vibe.

Thinking Spring.....

Testing Textures

H&M sweater, f21 leather shorts, UO-peep toe booties, H&M scarf.

This outfit was inspired by Rodarte F08 collection, specifically the knitwear. As always I love playing with volume and I adore the contrast of the cozy scarf & sweater with the tiny leather shorts. Between the suede booties, patterned tights, cable knit, and leather I'm playing with a lot of texture. I added this last shot in with the beat and gritty surface area, it's a nice play off the sweater. 

Another amazing fall day here. Nearly 65 degrees!
