Spots and Stripes

December 16th, 2010

UO Sweater, Thrifted Necklace and Bracelets, Queen’s Wardrobe Shorts, Miu Miu Pumps, Reiss Clutch

I’ve been looking for a leopard clutch for a while and couldn’t find one that met all of my specific needs: I wanted it to be simple, with a classic shape, in a size that wasn’t too small with a detachable wristlet. I finally found one at Reiss last week and it’s since replaced my normal bag that’s about three times as big. I wore it with my favorite shorts (seen here) and a preppy sweater for a morning spent lounging at a french bistro that made it feel like we were far from California.

Oh I am in love with this outfit for so many reasons! First, I’ve been liking neutrals a lot this season and stripes have pretty much been my absolute favorite thing for a while now (this sweater specifically looks so cozy!!). Not to mention that I really wish I could still wear shorts right now…or at least not as many layers.

I adore this outfit. I love stripes, you look great! I’m still in love with those scalloped shorts, and your new bag is a total find. Why is it that most leopard bags are so small?

I love your outfit so much–so feminine but not matchy-matchy…darling! You have such an eye for clothes and it’s always fun to see what you’ve got in that great wardrobe of yours. I also love that not everything is new all the time, and it’s nice to see how you wear your favorite pieces.

Love the sweater and shorts look. Sadly, I live in Ontario, Canada and we have 3 feet of snow right now so I won’t get to wear shorts for a while.

I love those shorts. At first I thought it was a skirt.
You’re lucky you have nice legs that can wear anything short.
so jealous.

Ahh Emily I love the juxtaposition of preppy nautical stripes with the splash of leopard with the clutch, and those Miu Miu pumps are great.

Those shorts are amazing! I dunno if I could pull them off but they bring the khaki short to a whole other level. (and again…i’m loving the stripes)

I have that thrift store necklace too, only the stones in mine are ivory! I bought it years ago at a Salvo but I’ve never worn it because I can’t think of what to pair it with…now I have an idea! Thanks Emily!
