Friday Fancies: Express Yourself

Bag / Shirt / Boots / Bracelet / Sweater / Pants 

What a great prompt for my brand-new blog.
So, folks at home (or convent hot-spot), this is me.

I kinda-sorta-almost don't match, but it works.
I'm a little bit too much, but it works.
I'm drawn to fall tones all year, but it works.
I don't go anywhere without coffee, or I don't work.

I love corduroy* and cable knit, leather and tartan, high boots and long sweaters.
If I could have wedged a tweed blazer and a cheetah print scarf in there, believe me I would have.

If I were to wear this oh-me-oh-my, oh-so-perfect outfit I would pair it with a matte neutral eye (but with a strong crease) some subtle blush, and a raspberry lip. 

Maybe once I lose all the weight I'm trying to run off I'll treat myself to this outfit.
Well, a version of it. The boots alone are more than my monthly budget.

I can't wait to see what defines everyone else!


*If I ever release an album of acoustic covers of my favorite songs, I'm going to call it The Corduroy Noise

    Okay - I like you! Fellow old school punker here that totally digs Kate Spade but still wears Docs and still listens to Stiff Little Fingers. :)

    Your outfit is perfect! I would have chosen all of these things, too.

    Happy to have found your blog!

    So glad to have found you via the link-up! I love this outfit, especially the elbow-patch cardigan and those boots (which are out of my budget too!)

      Thanks! And I know... $350 on sale is still way too much for a pair of shoes
