Yesterday I met a friend for lunch/coffee/shopping in the Bishop Arts district here in Dallas. It was POURING when I left the house, hence the sneakers, but let up pretty quickly, so I was sort of disappointed I didn’t wear my new boots. I was going to wear them anyway, but I forgot they have some suede on them, so I didn’t feel comfortable wearing them in the rain. Of course, I probably should treat them, but I never do treat my shoes…
Anyway, I sort of just “threw” this outfit together from some things in my closet I don’t wear very often, and because I was getting ready in a hurry I didn’t think too much about it, actually, and I ended up being quite happy with my outfit. (IF I’d had time to think more about it I probably would have changed a million times, and ended up wearing something completely different) Ah…the bane of my sartorial existence: over-thinking.
Since I won’t be buying anything new for a while (that is my goal, but I’m not making any rules, or promises), I will be trying to “resurrect” some things I’ve had for a while that I don’t wear, but keep around. Sort of making them feel new again, if you will. I’m hoping that will keep me satisfied for some time; I do still have a lot of things that I don’t wear very often…
Enough of that for now – if you’re reading this and you celebrate, I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas. See you on the flip side!
Grechen, you look fantastic! So chic, sporty and comfortable. I love it when an outfit comes together like this – you can trust your instincts and know you’ll look great. I love your little Valentino bag! Will you do a review? I’ve been interested in the rockstud styles, but they tend to be a little flashy for my casual daily style — I love how you’ve incorporated it!
I REALLY love the Zady sweater on you – the colour, the texture – so great! Looking forward to seeing more outfits with it, as well as the “oldies, but goodies” you have in your closet. Nice to see those CdG sneakers out and about – I have the same ones, and keep considering the black. I just think they’re so cute!!
I’m glad you didn’t change it, cuz it’s really cute and came together well. (Organically, as some might say… š
I’m still wearing my military style jacket because it’s just not that cold yet (Not for me, anyway. “The human furnace.”)
I do celebrate Christmas, so thanks, Grechen! Unfortunately, caught the flu and 50% of us are sick in my family.
i need to wear them more often, but i really just don’t like how they look on my feet because they come up so high…
i do love them though, the heart makes me smile š
that’s the first thing i thought when i got this bag – it’s too flashy – even though i’d scoped it out at the valentino store here, and fell in love with it. it IS flashy, definitely, but i don’t think it’s TOO flashy the more I get used to it. I’ve been carrying it every day since this picture (it’s been almost a week now) and i’m loving it. it’s small. doesn’t hold much, but as long as i remember my toothpicks mints and at least one lip balm, i’m covered.
i’m really enjoying it so far – and yes, i’ll do a more thorough review soon, after i carry it a bit more. so far, i recommend it as a very small bag š
