pockets full of kleenex and lint and holes







(Need Supply sweater, vintage slipdress, Henry Holland for Pretty Polly tights, Dolce & Gabbana wedges, Givenchy bag, Ray Ban sunglasses)

Nothing like a boy repellent shaggy sweater and cumbersome bag to confuse people into thinking you're dressed appropriately. I've somehow only not gotten around to posting these tights - my friend Anna in New Zealand was sweet enough as to find me a pair after I died all over them during the Sera Lilly show (thank you Anna!). People are way too nice to me in a way that makes me feel kind of horribly bad. You can see them in action on the runway beautifully paired with a liquidy printed jacket here.

I ended up having a pretty depressing Christmas since I was stuck in San Diego for a few stupid stupid reasons but I guess I gave it a subconscious nod with my festive nail polish and beaded bracelet combination. Pretty much the extent of my spirit but I'll try harder next time. Can't wait for the new year, does everyone have their outfit picked out?

Love the draping on your jumper.. Its a beautiful colour also. Shame about your Christmas, have a great new year!

It would be mine

P.S I've totally already picked my outfit, naturally :)

E said...

I saw these tights, but wasn't sure quite how to wear them. I love the subtle hint of the "garters" with the long drapey cardigan - quite beautiful. Also, I liked how you used one of my favorite Old 97s songs as the title for your last post :-) Now I will have that stuck in my head for the rest of the day...

Monika Poppy said...

I really regret not getting those tights, they were on sale even in topshop for like 3 pounds :/

Maya said...

Sorry to hear about your sad Christmas:( Must be something in the air... I had a terrible Christmas, too. Like second worst Christmas of my life. I guess the actual Christmas Day was sort of okay, but the subsequent days...hell.

Anyway, I really dig your outfit. This is one of my all-time favorites of yours. I, too, like to combine potentially inappropriate items with extremely appropriate items so as to keep my actual appropriateness ambiguous to viewers.

Great hair, too. I can't really tell if the color is new or if it's the lighting that makes it appear so, but the blond is amazing on you. It is a mystery how you manage to change the shade every 3 seconds without leaving it crispy/dead. Loads of conditioner? Unfairly good genes? Hm.
