one two buckle my shoe

oh hello there! it’s just little ol’ me on my rooftop again, insisting that i wear a mini skirt every single day even though it’s high time that i admit that i need to pull on some wool stockings underneath and throw on some cashmere. in fact, that’s just what i’ll have to do because i was finally just too cold to wear this today. have i ever told you how much i love cashmere? if j.crew comes out with them again this year, i am buying a cashmere union suit and wearing it every day at home. seriously.

so this is a variation on my last outfit. blouse, mini skirt, patterned tights. this is the way my outfits transition. tomorrow i really want to wear a romantic blouse with high rise skinnies, but i don’t yet have the perfect pair. except i have to let you in on this: i ordered a custom pair from indidenim and i’m going to go visit their offices to pick them up some time this week! there will be a blog post about it.

anyway, i’m finding that my style is slowly floating over to the 60’s. i think it has everything to do with this haircut. i sometimes fancy myself as a minor character in one of my favorite godard films, brushing past anna karina or jean paul belmondo or jean seberg as they traipse around france. so i pulled out this silly old pair of flats that i think i bought two years ago from juicy couture of all places. random, yes, but 60’s inspired they are. though i would much prefer a pair of vintage salvatore ferragamos with the little bows. i have a pair in nude, but have yet to snag a pair in black. wish me luck; maybe i’ll get lucky and find some at a thrift store!



wearing:

  1. Every time I visit, I swear this goes through my head:
    NEED TO CUT HAIR LIKE ERIN'S ASAP!
    You are too cute! I picked up a Navajo print sweater today, inspired by your post a few days ago, just fyi. :)

  2. This outfit is SO adorable! Absolutely perfect. And your haircut is so darling. I know what you mean about a haircut affecting your personal style – I cut my bangs recently, and I feel like I'm also slowly drifting more and more towards the 1960s!

  3. I just got those tights from target! Target sure does have some good tights…
    I love your blouse. Very pretty.

  4. This outfit is simply perfect! WOW those tight are gorgeous!

    I went tight shopping all days.. In Canada they are ridiculously high price! I will need to check Target next time I visit Seattle ;)

  5. the skirt was make for you and the tights are prefect! your peter pan blouse is super adorable. I wish I could go on the roof top too! it's seems so fresh & clean!

  6. I always love your tights… I'm going on a tight-shopping spree once I get back to the US.

    The 60s were such a great decade for fashion… I go mad over little mod dresses.

  7. I've been a bit obsessed with the 60s lately, too. Sadly I don't have the clothes to follow my inspiration, though. I love your tights and the shape of the skirt.

  8. The blouse is perfect! The lace, the mini ruffles, the peter pan collar and the beautiful cream colour, what more can one ask for?

  9. This is so cute. I love the peter pan collar on your blouse and you look fabulous in mini skirts. The 60's vibe suits you well.

  10. When I chopped all my hair off I totally changed the way I dress. I had long curly hair that completely took over my look and felt like I had to dress to match it. Now that I have a little pixie cut I dress much simpler. I love that a hair cut can kind of change everything!

  11. Nothing beats custom made denim (assuming your new skinnies are denim, but regardless anything custom made is pretty incredible).

    I bought a pair of jeans custom made for me from Earnest Sewn about 6 years ago and they still serve as a staple in my wardrobe.
