Today is Everybody Everywear Black + White day. I was disappointed when the challenge wasn't animal print, but I managed to sneak some animal in anyway. I don't think I would have come up with this outfit without a challenge.
Fashion face. |
This dress is an awkward, convertible number from Walmart. It morphs into a number of different styles, but it isn't particularly easy to wear. The pearl bracelet and necklace came from ebay. You can find some good deals on pearls from China there. I don't even really care whether the pearls are real or not when the cost $3 or less and look pretty. I've had this ring since I was in high school. I think I got it at an outdoor fair of some sort. Mom or Kate, do you remember?
Love these oxford pumps. Kate, they look like something you'd like too. |
My attempt to replicate Surely Sonsy's lovely accessories pics. Fail. |
I considered wearing these shoes. I think I made the right choice. |
Black turtleneck, George, Walmart; black and white animal print dress, Norma Kamali, Walmart; tights, Walmart; black oxford pumps, Graceland, Rack Room Shoes; black floral belt, Claire's; black and white pearl stud earrings, I don't remember; black and white pearl bracelet, ebay; black pearl necklace, ebay; hematite ring, I don't remember; houndstooth jacket, Collection by Gallery, thrifted.
This coat was originally part of my outfit too, but it is really too warm for a coat here today. |
Mmmm enchiladas. |

ReplyDeleteNorma Kamali is in WALMART now? (does disbelief). I had (or maybe still have) a pair of very amazing Norma Kamali shoes circa 1980-85? They were purple pixie boots with really pointy toes and tiny little high heels.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of amazing how formerly high-end brands have whored themselves for the masses. Not that I'm entirely complaining. I do enjoy a bargain.
