Peacy

I didn’t actually walk out of my room without my shirt…
 
I piled on two very distinct necklaces that don’t really go together for a dramatic look…and to cover up my bare middle to keep it PG-13. 

These are absolutely my favorite pairs of shoes I’ve ever owned. Every time I put them on I feel sensuous—classy but dangerous, sexy not skanky. 

When I picked up this blazer and the price tag said $99.99 I decided that I would only be trying it on for fun… 

But then I slipped and totally fell for the slim, but not tight fit, the exaggerated shoulders without coming off as costumey, (I know…that’s not a real word!) and I remember even saying, “This is it. This is perfect.” Such a relief, you wouldn’t believe how far I’ve searched for the perfect black blazer to throw on over anything. In this case, just my skin. 

Now as I look at this picture, I realize that I’m wearing three of my favorite pieces in my entire wardrobe. 

Ah, they make me fuzzy like the inside of a peach.

Steeped In Gothic Glam And Biker Chic

It’s so fun to be unpredictable…

…because it’s so easy to be predictable. 

I love the combination of such a basic (and classic) outfit—a basic white tank and black pants—with a grungy, zippered cropped jacket and dangerous heels. The pants are elegant, the shoes are edgy, the top is plain and the jacket is super cool. 

This cropped motorcycle jacket is a beauty I (so luckily!) snagged in Zara during their end of the season sale about two months ago. It was truly love at first sight, from the beautifully crafted neckline to the kinda in the middle sleeve length.

I couldn’t believe it when I found these Body by Victoria wool ankle trousers on the “five for twenty dollars” rack at the semi-annual sale in the Jersey Gardens mall outlet store. When I peeped inside and saw that it was a size six, I died…in the good way! 

Theses Chinese Laundry shoes (I die for the original design by Alexander McQueen) add that gothic edge without being too dark or gloomy. The four-and-a half heel height is perfect for a day full of classes, meetings, and everything in between. 

This outfit is comfortable, simple yet complicated—off-duty fly…
