Over-Under

When fall comes, I get so excited about layering again. I mean I love clothes, so the more I get to wear, the better. But after a few months, the excitement wears off. It’s kind of like marriage (juuuuust kidding, honey).

So to switch things up, I try to make some more creative and unexpected layering choices. One of my favorites is wearing a cardigan as a shirt (fully buttoned) with a layer over it like a vest or jacket. Did I just rock your whole world? If I did, you probably need a hobby, because a button-up cardigan is really not that exciting. Except when it’s zebra print.

Oh, and the repeat item is this vest! I have the Take One, Pass it On challenge to thank for inspiring my layering adventures today. And since I invented the Take One challenge, I guess I can thank myself. Good job, me.

Nothing Like New Shoes

Good news! You can stop holding your breath with anticipation because those shoes I told you about the other day came in! Oh, and they were BOGO so I got these boots for free! Nothing makes me happier than new shoes (except world peace and kittens), so I built this outfit from the feet up.

Speaking of new things, I got another shade of YSL Glossy Stain because I liked my first one so much. I went for this slightly purply pink because I’ve never worn a color like it before. What do you think? Lipstick is kind of a new obsession for me, so I’m just playing it by ear. Or by mouth. Whatever.
