Since I don't get a chance to do an outfitted every week (because some weeks I seriously never change out of my pjs) I thought it'd be fun to compile an "in my dreams, could never afford it but whatever, we're dreaming here" outfit every once in awhile to help fill the voids...
dress- Need Supply
twig necklace- layerxlayer
shoes- Jeffrey Campbell
coat (this is where the in my dreams part comes in)- Lauren Moffatt
and I'd probably wear it all with these sheer tights from AA in smoked pearl
I feel a little like an animal wrangler in the circus in this outfit. I suppose I do wrangle cats.
blouse: no tags, buffalo exchange
necklace: from an estate sale
weird red & white stripe high-waisted stretchy jeans: Christie Brooks, thrifted. I think they might be little girl's pants, hmm... I love them anyway.
boots: steve madden (I really really need some non-heeled boots for the winter. boo)
Worn for a much needed busy-week-break with lady R for some snacks and Gossip Girl.
poncho: thrifted! Love this thing. BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket)
gloves: from a little shop in Truckee, CA- fingerless and falling apart and probably 10 years old
denim leggings: thrifted
boots: Buffalo Exchange
Gorgeous chartreuse velvet cape: Heather Treadway, handmade (available at Aequanimitas)
Lace skirt: vintage, from Golden Rule
Ring: Jamieson Diemer, handmade
boots: Steve Madden (mine)
SO, this is kind of a cheater outfitted, because I don't actually own any of these clothes and I have been wearing sweatpants everyday this week in reality, but... last weekend my wonderful photog friend Ronit put together a Renegade Fashion Shoot with 4 girls modeling, lots of cool vintage clothing from Golden Rule, handmade clothing and jewelry from local designers and lots of fun! The results were awesome. I'll share more pics of everyone else later, but wanted to focus on this cape for now because this cape. is. amazing. Oh how I wish it could be mine!!!
Locals- check it out in person at the Aequanimitas official grand opening tomorrow night- it's First Friday at the 811 Burnside complex there will be lots of talent, music, dance and shopping to behold!
I wore this out to dinner last night with our realtor & buddy, Jeff. I'm wearing it again today because, well, I'm lazy.
4H cardigan: vintage, "hand knit by Peggy Wilberg" (found this in Arcata- my new fave sweater!)
shirt: vintage (found it in Oakland)
necklace: vintage, thrifted
jeans: Acne, thrifted
shoes: Steve Madden
My sweet friend Ronit threw me a little bridal brunch this past weekend and I thought it was the perfect excuse to finally wear my party hat! The outfit sort of created itself from there ;) I haven't had a party "in my honor" since I was a little kid, so I felt very special! The cats seemed to dig the look.
party hat: cloud society
necklace: vintage, thrifted
cardigan: splendid, thrifted
tank: american apparel
skirt: forever 21
tights: nordstrom
shoes: steve madden
So, I wasn't planning on doing an outfitted post today- I was planning on throwing on a hooded sweatshirt and jeans and heading to the grocery store. But I decided to try on this vintage tunic, cause I noticed it in my closet and I've never worn it before. It has a full zip up the back and somehow I managed to zip it allll the way up! But zipping it down proved to be impossible without twisting my shoulder out of its socket. So...guess this is what I'm wearing today!
cardi: Ohio Knitting Mills (probably my favorite cardigan ever)
tunic: vintage, thrifted
bracelet: a vintage necklace, thrifted
jeans: Rock & Republic, from The Rack
boots: Colorado Country, thrifted
Off to coffee with a friend and then errands galore. It feels like fall!
earrings: made by me!
cardi: lifetime, thrifted
dress: diane von furstenberg, thrifted!
brooch: jenny vorwaller
tights: american apparel
shoes: steve madden
Last night I went out to the I Heart Art Mixer Match to mingle with pdx artists, designers and indie biz folk. Fun! The free beer didn't hurt either :)
cardi: Splendid, thrifted
dress: Doki Geki, thrifted
necklace: Betsy & Iya!
tights: target
shoes: Steve Madden
What I wore out to the mister's birthday dinner- we went to Dove Vivi for some cornmeal crust pizza. Deeeeelicious!
necklace: tasi designs
romper? onesie? what do I call this thing? vintage, thrifted
belt: thrifted
tights: target
shoes: vintage, thrifted
I really got a lot of compliments on the necklace so I wanted to do a special litlte shout out about it. It was handmade by a duo of sisters that I met at Renegade SF, but they are actually out of Portland! They are Tasi Designs and they make gorgeous, organic, worldly feeling jewelry- have a looksie!
