I spotted this clutch on C. Wonder's website a few weeks ago and just can't get it out of my head. First of all, it's leopard (sold). Second, it's a more affordable version of my one true love, the Clare Vivier clutch. Third, you can monogram it. That's all I need to say about that. Lastly, the colors through the middle are versatile and add a little extra, which I welcome 99% of the time.
I started thinking what I would pair it with and couldn't get greens out of my mind. I guess it's the jewel tone love I have. Either way, this would look amazing with just about any outfit (I'm also picturing it with all black - so chic). You can't go wrong.
If you know me, it's no secret that I wear leopard a lot. Mostly in the form of shoes, but I don't discriminate. The one thing I actually don't own though is a pair of leopard sandals. Hard to believe, but it's true. I've been looking for awhile, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly what I want yet. Basic sandal? Demi wedge? Short heeled sandal? Straps galore? All leopard? Leopard accents? The questions go on people, but here is a compilation of what I like so far. Enjoy, and help me decide!
The greatest find when shopping is a piece you know will be versatile. Versatile in a way that shortens your deliberation time to a fraction of the original. The most difficult kind for me is the piece that will work for day to night, but various events. Such as brunch, eating out, concerts, shopping, but also weddings, dinners, and parties in general. I have numerous things in my closet that work for different day time events or work to play, but very few of them also work for a more upscale event like a wedding.
When I saw this Lovers + Friends maxi I immediately knew it would be the piece in my closet that filled this gap. I am obsessed with the back details and the fact that I own NOTHING like this in my closet. Such a beautiful, bright print. More so, if you can wait a month, Her Element is getting this dress back in stock for $40 cheaper than Revolve's price. Why do I know this? Because I'm cheap and noticed H.E.'s had gone out of stock and quickly emailed them to make sure they were getting more. I have a wedding in May that I know I'll wear this to, as well as a few more over the Summer months and into Fall that it will be perfect for too. I'll be keeping it simple with black and gold accessories to make sure the print is showcased [like it could be missed].
I'll start this post off with honesty. I'm not completely sure I'm on board or should try this trend, but I keep seeing it and wondering if I could pull it off. Not to mention, models and celebrities, and even fellow bloggers [Blair from A-P just seems to make everything look chic], all seem to look undeniably cool with their loose-fitting camo jackets over their outfits. Whether it's a basic dress or a t-shirt and boyfriend jeans underneath, the balance of feminine and tough just looks good together. I love the idea of a black dress and feminine jewelry with simple, comfortable booties, but can't deny that boyfriend jeans and heels looks just as good. From the styling I've seen so far with the camo craze, it's much like leopard in that people are using it as a neutral. I feel like I would still need some thought behind my look, but I may just be able to make it work.
In my various "inventory checks" [you know, when I go to every online website and mentally {pinterest} make note of all the things I'm dying to own] I've noticed I've been obsessed with a few things: these majorly awesome, reflective Ray-Bans, bright printed scarves, this bright shade of green, and nude shoes. Some of these I've already covered, but all of them together? Sartorial jackpot my friends.
First of all, these Ray-Bans have been haunting me since I first laid eyes on them over a month ago. I mean they're so insanely bad ass I just can't stop thinking about them. I automatically think of SJP in SATC 2 and everyone loves Carrie Bradshaw. The last thing I need is another pair of sunglasses, but I might just cave for these. Second of all, scarves are awesome. Bright, printed scarves and even better and I want to incorporate them into my Spring wardrobe stat. I've gone on and on about how I'm loving these green shades and it hasn't stopped with emerald and pistachio. This one gets me too and the one on the right would be a great base to accessorize. Lastly, nude shoes. Anything nude really, but in shoes it's the icing on top for me. They lengthen your legs, they go with EVERYTHING, and they bring an outfit together. I love all four of these below, but I'm currently dying to own these booties as a nice alternative for Spring.
Don't lie, if you saw me in this outfit you'd stop me, or at least assume my popularity has caused me to reach my limit of Facebook friends.
