alright, i will admit that the umbrella was a bit of a prop since it wasn’t actually raining during this shoot. but i’ll have you know that it did start pouring rain right when i stepped inside, so we’ll just call this careful planning. and if this outfit looks a bit familiar, it’s because it was inspired by one of my favorite street style looks last week on citizen couture, seen in this post.
i actually bought these vintage suede boots about a month ago after i was tipped off by lisa zain’s tumblr blog, vintage shoe love. the only thing is that i only got as far as knowing that i liked the style, and didn’t have a clue how to incorporate them into my wardrobe! but the street style gods smiled down on me and i found the perfect combination in my charcoal gray otk socks and inky blue trench coat.
i know i’m not wearing a little yellow dress, but i do feel a bit like the morton salt girl tripping around with my umbrella.

Just love the blues and grays… and that little Morton girl was quite the fashion inspo, no? At least, more so than the Coppertone girl. Hehe
I'm so in love with the tights and shoes combo!
I love this outfit! The colors really pop against the gray sky. Gorgeous!
eek… best outfit ever! I love this.
Loving the colour combination and the outfit itself, of course.
these photos are great, so fun
ahh! the morton salt girl. love her so much. my summer project is going to be hunting down the perfect yellow dress. or hunting down the perfect pattern so i can make the perfect yellow dress.
I love the colors here. They are all neutrals but they still create a lot of visual interest when put together. Adorable look!
Gorgeus!!!

HA – love the title. That's a great trench.
Oh, so cute Erin! I love your coat in particular. And lol, somebody called me the Morton Salt girl on my blog just the other day when I included an umbrella in one of my outfit shots. Someday I think I'll actually obtain a yellow school-girl-esque dress and imitate her for real since she is actually pretty adorable.
love your trench

Those shoes are an amazing find and I definitely love that trench every time you wear it!
love this! you make the morton salt girl look pretty stylish.
you look amazing in the first photo! I am loving all these shades of blue.
Ohhh, love the boots!
I just bought a pair of over-the-knee socks yesterday, and they keep falling down! Every 10 steps I walk, I have to pull them up.
Do you have the same problem?

my best friend dressed up as the morton salt girl for halloween! she had the cutest purple umbrella!
Prop or not, that umbrella totally completes that outfit! I love this look!!

These photos are too stinkin' divine! I want a rooftop like yours and I covet those boots.
haha so cute!! I really like this look.

such a cute coat! loves it :D
the blues and grays here are just fantastic and i love the ruffles peeking out from underneath your coat. :)
Love the outfit. I like that the colors are sort of dark and dreamy. I was the morton salt girl for halloween two years ago! She sure is stylish for an icon.
the heels on your boots are incredible! xo
Those shoes are fab. Love the thick heel. But the H&M coat is my favorite part. That navy blue is the most gorgeous shade and I'm sure it was a steal!
this is probably my favourite outfit I've ever seen on you!
I never comment but I had to say it lol
