Blackbird

Vintage dress and shorts. Target socks. Forever 21 sneakers.

It may be a bit hard to believe, but while I've been away from this blogging thing, I've grown accustomed to sneakers. I mean, I've worn Chuck Taylors before, but not, like, sneaker sneakers. Yes. I love them. I've worn them here with a vintage dress over shorts to get Bruxie waffle sandwiches with Ali yesterday. I am really loving the whole long top proportion deal so much I've infused vintage dresses into my wardrobe (but, of course, not in an obvious way.) Feeling a bit sci-fi-ish here.

Lite Brite

Express shirt. Vintage skirt and shoes. Target socks.

Although my main wardrobe selections have been predominantly black lately, I still do love color. I mean, even someone drowing in a black Haider Ackermann confection can still truly appreciate a Jil Sander neon blazer. I recently had Raf Simons visions of an all pink skirted ensemble with black socks/shoes in my mind so I decided to hunt the components down on my own. Some vintage searching over a period of time lead me to a longer silhoutette then Simons's, but that same in-your-face color and shock. I wore it out to my friend's 22nd birthday as well as to a "quiet" Monday night at another friend's house. There is definitely more color coming... even a dark horse likes feel the sun sometimes.
