This is a mix of pics of my real OOTD and an outfit that I had tried on last week when it was warmer and I could have got away with a short-sleeve tissue turtleneck and a jacket (but I wore my Halloween outfit for three days in a row instead and now it's too cold).
The first item that I bought in this outfit are the shoes. Back in the summer I had a brief love affair with the leopard print Tory Burch Revas in calf-hair and I bidded a couple of times on them on Ebay but for some reasons it didn't work out. Then I saw these Target pointy-toe flats that aren't a cheap print but real calf-hair (another of Gigi's finds, I never go to Target as the closest is in Brooklyn, no less, and I'm like Miranda of SATC, pre-baby) selling for almost a tenth of the price of the Revas and I was sold (plus I love pointy-toe shoes, I think that we don't see them around enough). Then I bought the toothpick (not "to wear with the leopard flats", but it can't be denied that this style goes greatly with pointy flats) and then the Jcrew Cheeta calf-hair belt. I'm sure that this one will go on sale because it's a quite expensive belt but I LOOOOOVED it and took advantage of a $25 off $125 card to buy it (actually I bought it along with the jeans).
So the bottom part of my outfit was easy because I bought these pieces with the intention of wearing them together.
But strangely enough I had a hard time finding a top to wear with the black jeans and the animal print accessories. Initially, I didn't want to go "total black with animal print accents" and I tried different sweaters in the beige color palette but in the end I think that a black top works better than a lighter top.
Anyway, this is the version that I wore today, minus the hat (I was just taking my daughter to a playdate):


And the final touch is this Plexiglas leopard bracelet that I bought for $5 on the street, the same day that I bought the Deco pashmina (can you tell that I'm momentarily tired of expensive jewelry)?

Have a great week (DH is coming home tomorrow so you know where I am if I don't reply. Oh no, this came across like a bad sex joke, did it?)
PS
Not that I want to sell you anything on this blog, but if you like the shoes (and I can vouch on their cuteness and quality), I have a second pair in a size 6H (my size was sold-out and I ordered one size up and one size down and I'm keeping the 7H) that I can still return to Target but can offer you for $25 shipped (the price was $29.99 and they are completely sold-out). Please don't make me go to Brooklyn to return these (just kidding).
If interested, please email me at crazyaboutjcrew@gmail.com.
Love these shoes, but I am a 7.5! Are you going to the J Crew Sample sale tomorrow? http://clothingline.com/
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm going as the last few times were so disappointing, and I don't need anything (except maybe some nice suit pants???).
Yes I'm trying to go just after dropping my daughter at school. If the line is too long I won't be able to wait because I have to pick her up at noon.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they will only have stock sweaters including cashmere, outwear and shoes (no samples for women). It seems more interesting than the previous ones.
Love the outfit- especially the Target shoes!! Target has been great lately for shoes and boots (and belts, and bags, and...)! I actually just purchased 3 pairs of boots there last week and I could have picked out more if I'd had more $$$!! :) Unfortunetly, I wear a 10 or an 11 so your 6's won't work for me! ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband returns home safe tomorrow! And yes, we "know where you'll be if you don't reply"!! Ha! :P
Cute cute cute outfit! I tried those shoes on and unfortunately they were just not wide enough - ouchie ouchie! But loving them on you...
ReplyDeleteAdore Target!! But schepping it all the way to Brooklyn every time I wanted to go would be a drag ;)
ReplyDeleteyour outfit is adorable. I *wish* I could wear the toothpicks!!
PLEASE tell us how the sample sale is. I'm not going to bother going unless I hear great things....and enjoy DH's homecoming
Love the outfit, and your coat that topped it all off! is it a JCrew? I really like it.
ReplyDeleteThe calf-hair belt is great. I too love the JC belts...
Hope your hub gets home safe and sound!
Thank you for you comments lady, my husband came home safe.
ReplyDeleteDaniBP, yes, the coat is a Jcrew from HO06 (I checked the inside tag because I wasn't sure). The funny thing is, it's a size 4. I was pregnant when I bought it but I still can wear it, Jcrew wasn't doing in the vanity sizing yet!
I meant, thank you for your comments ladies...
