winter wardrobe

Phillip Lim cropped sweater, Bassike asymmetrical white dress, Burberry Prorsum coat, Henry Holland for Pretty Polly super suspender tights, Fleet Ilya clutch, Made Her Think earrings, Barbara Bui mary janes, Alexander Wang goddess dress, Fleet Ilya belt, Mark Fast hot shorts, Lanvin ring, Miu Miu embellished knee socks, Ann D. earrings, Ann D. triple-laced boots, Bottega Veneta scarab ring, Ann D. bracelet

I've already got the black dress and the tights, I have some black knee socks I can embellish. I have a plain white t-shirt dress but it might be too transparent for winter, especially over black tights, and I refuse to wear a slip.

What I need is the super tight, cropped ski sweater (I've been stalking that grey Phillip Lim number for like four years), and those delicious Ann Demeulemeester triple-lace boots (if I can ever find them...). I'd take the Burberry coat, but I have a pretty sweet Rag & Bone equestrian coat that could stand in for it. My plan would be to wear the cropped sweater over the white dress with tights and boots, and the black dress with the mary janes. The knee socks I'd probably just wear over plain black tights with the mary janes or flats.

In reality, what I'll be wearing this winter is exactly what I wore last winter - black on black on black, with my Alexander Wang hobo jacket over it and Chucks. But I have good news - yesterday I wore a dress that was NOT black, so things maybe changing, one infinitesimal bit at a time.

Time has flown. I graduated college and stopped caring about fashion for a while. But I'm back. For all none of you who read this, I've missed you. Things haven't changed much, I still like gothy looking shit, and will even when all magazines, runway shows, and uppity teen bloggers demand that I wear florals and pastels, or worse, anything from the early 1990s.

Yukie Deuxpoints necklace, Proenza Schouler PS1 bag, VPL bra, Glynneth B bracelet, Eddie Borgo earrings, Falconiere epaulets, Givenchy studded flats, Ann D. buckle boots, Bijules ring, Fleet Ilya belt, Sigerson Morrison Gladiators, Madison Marcus buckle mini, YSL cuff, Darcy Miro for Unholy Matrimony cuff, Helmut Lang printed tank

I am so into buckles right now, it hurts. That and crazy, geological-looking jewelry. I wonder if the straps on the mini go all the way around, or are just sewn on the front. I'd feel gypped if they were.

sick kid post

lanvin blue strapless dress, simona kaunaite porcelain (?) ear brooch, imogen belfield ring, lanvin earrings, jeffrey campbell clinic wedges, rodarte skirt, fleet ilya clutch, made her think spine knuckle ring, betony vernon sperm rings, siegerson morrison cut-out oxfords, lanvin cross-body bag, delfina delettrez hand cuff

Notes:
I don't care that I posted a version of the Delettrez hand jewelry yesterday, I love it, and that's enough. Originally I wanted to do a post on blue and yellow, but my incipient illness and inherent laziness prevented that from happening. I really like anatomical jewelry (duh), so the brooch fits right in, and I've taken a fancy to the idea of brooches as of late. I've been in love with that Rodarte skirt since back when Moses wore short pants, and I'll always have a soft spot for whatever weird shit Fleet Ilya dreams up.

As for the Jeffrey Campbell wedges: I have mixed feelings about these. They certainly look very cool but, as with all things Jeffery Campbell, they are not strictly an original design - the metal side plating is "borrowed" from boots by Akiko Ogawa. And J. Camp does have a boot version - minus the buckles and whatnot. So, while I like these, I'm not sure I could, in good conscience wear them. Besides that, I'm not sure I could pull them off. "Fierce" shoes are for braver, more coordinated souls.
