Army Green + Sequins

September 22nd, 2011



Ben Sherman Jacket (seen here), Free People Sunglasses, Topshop top and cuffs, J.Crew Skirt, Vintage Clutch, Robert Clergerie Platforms

I’ve never done anything even remotely fun with my hair. It’s been long and blonde since I was five-years-old, with only a temporary stint going dark in high school (so not my friend). Since I’m far too big of a wimp to do anything drastic, I rely on different styles to keep me from getting too bored. We snapped these pictures earlier this week when I was clearly in a mood that favored unstyled, messy waves, but I’ve since moved onto straight and sleek. It’s the little things that count when you’re not ready for a complete overhaul.

    Love the sequined skirt. I’ve been debating about getting a sequined skirt but am worried about the quality — want to find one that won’t fall apart after one wear! xoxo

    LOVE the dichotomy between the super-caj~ jacket and glammed up skirt! Also kind of obsessed with the clunky heels of your shoes. x

    The couple bracelet is cool! The mix of the fashion skirt with the militar jacket is very nice! Its trend. No questions. I liked the ideia: strong platform and chic clutch!

    Lovely. I’m so glad it’s fall. I can’t wait to get some Halloween inspiration from you!

    It’s interesting that you would say that you’ve never done anything different with your hair because when I read your blog i’m ALWAYS wishing you would dye it/cut it. You look really great, but I think something different with your hair would really complement and improve your styling.

    army jacket is still going strong..thank god cause I’ve just purchased one! And I’ve got plenty of glitter..

    stunning ! i love the rough grungy style of this look with the touch of sequins !

  • http://jennimccarthy.blogspot.com Jenni

    The matching cuffs got great with the sequins skirt. All of the accesories you chose really bring the outfit together and give it a chic look! I also love the wedges with the ankle buckle. It definitely dresses up the outfit without making it too formal.
