Thanks for all the comments from Softgrey, ftb, Curious, Clavdia, HiHeels, Voodoo, Urd, Sonny, Buckwheat
TrophyBrown That shirt is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.. unbuttoned cardigan also sounds cool... I do that too!
Sonny I can't get over how different you look! You look absolutely stunning....!
Curious Beautiful blazer!
Voodoo Think the not-breathing part is worth it coz the dress fits perfectly!
Tangerine Sweater and sneakers match really nicely!
Lotte Cute hoodie.
Ftb Long live the baggy pants! I think it's not really raver style..the outfit sounds more like Mod Skater. Like sleek skater style....which is def. cool
Castor I love those sneakers.... never seen them before!
Baizilla You captured the inspiration well.
Urd As cool as ever.....the fur jacket looks really cute.

 

[Hebden]

skinny dark blue jeans H&M(ah!!!!)
petrol green suede round toe pump with a kinda bronze leather trim
petrol green turtleneck from Zara
black v neck gilet from Zara
long gold necklace with small green pearls
small hoop gold earrings
green Fendi Spy
Black cropped copetrol green "handmade" scarf
green leather gloves

 

[emi25]

URD---> I have a jacket like that! More or less, I just bought it in a market and it's really really fake fur...I have to be careful with the cigarettes!..

Vo0dooMary --> Your bag and dress...wonderful!

And this is todays outfit..I feel like my mom in the sixties..

 

[clavdiachauchat]

Bunches of thanks to everyone!


Sonny...I will echo everyone else and exclaim (!) how great you look.
Curious...I'm having a tennie day today too, they're quite comfortable!
voodoo...tres jolie! Love the dress and the bag, and sympathize with the "limited breathing" syndrome. At least you look great!
tang...those jeans are great, a bit different from the denim I'm used to seeing you wear, it echoes the surf vibe really well.
lotte...adorable print on your top
FTB...I don't know about the first outfit of yesterday (I did like tha pants in the pic though, but was having trouble envisioning) But your second sounds sharp and cool. Hope you get some sleep!
castor...awesome tee!
Baizilla...WOW! that looks like a great ensemble.
urd...you're such a chameleon with your clothes! I love it. This fur coat and glam look works really well.
Hebden...I really love that MJ bag of yours...it almost makes me want to be a handbag person


Yesterday's actual outfit:

(I ended up really liking everything but my shoes...but shoes are always difficult for me )

Today:

This might seem out of place for what I normally post, but it was pretty much my "look" all through my undergrad days...I guess I was feeling nostalgic

indigo wash Citizens
white collared Polo shirt
black waffle knit cardi (Club Monaco)
Burberry scarf
Hi-top all stars

 

[adorefaith]

[softgrey]

yes and your coat is very nice as well clavdia...

i will post it eventually when the weather cools down a bit more i guess...



hebden-like the scarf/shawl...and the colour of the bag...

 

[purechris]

ftb--the hoodie and pants would look better with the white shirt and a black tie to dress it up a bit....very KVA as your inspiration

urd--very cool

clavdia--loving the purple and red together....the dress is very 9 to 5 era....I like it a lot

mettchen--lovely as always

[calexico]

i am a little strange when it comes to warm/cold clothes...
+ a small knit grey tank top with a big pashmina... contradictory?
+ sweater-like knit navy blue skirt, pulled up high on my waist
+ black suede boots

... will write more later
there is so much beauty in this thread

 

[Fade to Black]

thanks susie, clavdia and chris for the comments and advice

The reason I was skeptical about the outfit was because there was quite a sharp contrast between the slimness of the hoodie and the baggyness of the pants (which, it turned out after I looked in a mirror, the pants were a lot baggier than I originally thought...to the point where it wasn't like a flattering kind of volume, but almost like a sense of shapelessness. They're basically snowboarding pants, it seems). However thank you chris for your suggestion, yes with a white shirt and black tie it is quite KVA. I might get around the picking up a pair of KVA pants if they're around during sales as I really like the way he cut his trousers, just the right amount of volume.

successful contradiction is often the greatest indicator of a strong sense of style...


very beautiful yourself...

 

[Curious]

Thanks Caffeine, Sonny, HiHeels, Tang, Susie & Clavdia

Caffeine - the swtr is actually BR. I haven't gotten one from JCrew since they've switched designers, but am very curious myself. I may be able to answer that for you shortly

VM - gorgeous as always! Really love the patterns you pick out and how you mix colors

Tang - I really like the "milky blues"! Great wash...

Lotte - welcome! Loving the swan hoodie

FtB - I really like those pants! Is it just a silhouette you're not used to?

Baizilla - Love! You need to visit Urd's inspiration thread http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/f58/outfits-inspired-something-34512.html

Urd - speaking of inspiration... I need to pull out my faux-fur! Looking good B)

Hebden - Snow!! Do you maybe have something on your head for that? You look very nice & cozy!

Emi - I'll join that shopping trip too! Love it. Are your tights patterned?

Mett - third on the coat!

Chris - sounds great! I know I love all the pieces so the ensemble must be fab

Welcome Calexio Love gray, blk & navy together!

 

[purechris]

I dunno about KVA.....his pants REALLY expensive to me.....I didn't try them on, but I don't see his "masterly" cut in pants that don't really "fit".....it's not like they are a well tailored trouser.....I bought a great pair of washed wool cargos at Club Monaco that kinda achieve the same look

thanks curious
