isn't it funny- i didn't ever realize the chicago teams are the cubs and the bears...
...

So I have sold a couple of things on depop and ebay. I also gave away a bag to charity that I had used through my post-grad/ intern days. I have now managed to get my hands on a patent blue PS11. The inside is tan leather

nice^^

i got a couple things--
this lanvin necklace...
i had a hard time deciding between gold and gun metal...
gold was my first intinct...but i went with the gun metal cause i just think it is going to be easier to wear...
the gold reads as more formal, imo...
the gun metal can be worn with more casual things as well as evening looks...


and these silly silly sneakers...
cause i really want white booties and until i can get them, these will fill in well, i think...
plus- because they are a bit silly, i didn't want to spend loads on anything until i am sure i will really wear them...
...
*i will have cdg booties for spring~~~i hope...

yoox-final sale~!

 

[softgrey]

^^omg- the necklace came and it is a dream come true!!!
...

the sneakers---
look really cool but are really uncomfortable...
how do you even make uncomfortable sneakers?!
...

hope they break in...

Pretty! I love black lace.

 

[softgrey]

^^ thx. I have very little lace in my wardrobe but this is a typical silhouette for me and it fits well.

Just ordered some sacai jackets over the weekend. It might all go back, but I had to see and try them. One of them is my dream jkt but it may run small so I don't know if it will work.

We shall see...

Softgrey, your black lace dress is absolutely beautiful! I have to study this brand. I've seen some campaigns, but never really paid attention. Seems few big online shops sell Free People in Europe. That dress would be my dream <3 I am a bit crazy about lace, still.. some ppl say the trend is over, but I still see lace everywhere, so I say blah blah to those "trendsetters"

 

[SouthernVogue]

softgrey what a gorgeous dress.

 

[eizhowa]

TommyGirl, I remember black lace being everywhere fall 06/07 and as far as I can tell it never went away... I think it is a classic

 

[softgrey]

thank you!

btw- returned all the sacai...
didn't like any of them nearly as much as i like my uniqlo bomber...
