All remixed except shoes
Skirt: Target
Tee: Banana Republic
Cardi: New York & Co.
Flats: Nine West (like, four years ago)
Earrings: Target
Confession: I don't love this outfit. I feel like the proportions are a little off. I love all the pieces, but I don't love them all together. I feel like this has been a common occurrence this fall - like I'm not quite on the Fall Train and I can't translate my style into this transitional weather. It happens every fall, though, and then I jump on the train and work it out. It'll happen....
Anyway, I'm participating in the "You've Got This! Fall Trends 2010" week, sponsored by Iris over at 260 Days, No Repeats. We just got back from a trip to VA late last night, so this morning I wasn't trying to search out my most obscure on-trend-for-fall pieces. I turned to my old favorite: animal prints.
Can we discuss how happy I am about leopard being the IT print for fall? My love for leopard is deep and well-documented and I'm thrilled that I'll be able to rock my leopard and be the height of fashion for this season at least.
Now, the outfit I'll probably pull out of the closet and wear again:
On me (boots and accessories remixed):
Dress: Ross
Boots: Nine West (and probably five years old)
Scarf: Turkey - the same shop where I got the scarf you could win here
Earrings: Banana Republic
Bangles: Banana Republic
On my mom:
Blouse, vest, and belt: Ann Taylor
Pants, shoes, earrings, ring, and necklace: Kohl's
Bracelet: Morocco
How stylish is my mamita? So many levels of stylish, that's how stylish. This is where I credit her for any bit of style I have. She is the reason I have this blog. The end.
I love this woman. Second confession of the post: I have that same Ann Taylor blouse. She bought it for me when we went out on Saturday. I'm pretty excited to wear it some time soonish. We have a lot of the same pieces, but we rarely style them the same way; funny how that happens, huh?
This outfit is probably one of my favorites, ever. EVER! It's comfortable, seasonably appropriate, stylish, sassy, and simple. I may just wear this again at some other point, I won't lie. Also - more leopard print.
PS My dad, though hilarious and wonderful, is not quite as naturally stylish as my mamita. ;)
Oh, and y'all should enter the giveway!
que preciosa fmailia tienes =D me encanta tu falda de leopardo y tambien el segundo outfit esta fabuloso! Tu mamita es igual de guapa que tu.
ReplyDeleteI love the animal print vibe... it's coming later this week
ReplyDeleteLove love the first look! Orange/red and teal is such a great combo.
ReplyDeleteI also love the second outfit! I've never been an animal-print-wearing person, but I love it so I'm trying to branch out. So far I have leopard print shoes & a belt with some animal print.... I love the scarf though!
ReplyDeleteI actually like BOTH outfits... the first one I can see where you are coming from in regards to proportions but I think a belt could tie it all together into perfection. I think the colors go fabulous with the print... and for the second one with the dress. It works. It works, no need to do anything here!
ReplyDeleteBoth stunners. I think the proportion looks great - its very "fall"!

ReplyDeleteyou look awesome in both outfits, the first one reminds me a bit of Mad Men and I love the boots in the second one. You look a lot like your mom! same gorgeous smiles :)
ReplyDeleteLove your bold colors that you wore with your animal print in the first outfit!

your parents look awesome :)
ReplyDeleteum beijo!
Thanks, y'all!
ReplyDelete@ Shey: ¡Gracias! Mis padres son increíbles - ¡qué bendición son para mí!
@ Iris: Can't wait to see you pull out the animal prints!
@ Lorena: Yes! A belt probably would've done it. I tried one on and it didn't work, and I was running late, so I didn't stop to look for one that would have. *sigh* Next time...
@ Weesha: Those boots are among my favorite items in the world, even though everyone in my family hates them. ;)
Okay I can't let this fall pass without getting something with leopard print! How have I survived so long without it!!!
