Black Tie Affair

My hair. Wtf. I know. You see, what happened was... I wore my hair in twists like this for most of the day. When I let the twists out, my hair looks like a curly mess. My partner got a new job (w00t!) and he had a lot of work to do on his laptop, so I convinced him to go for a walk ('twas a beautiful day) to a coffee shop nearby, so he could work and I could drink coffee and watch him work. Hehe. I was getting dressed and about to pull my hair back when he told me he liked my hair the way it was. At which point, I groaned, rolled my eyes and said, "fine." So, I mashed a hat on to my messy hair. Bah! >_<
Honestly, I just think I look really goofy with my hair down and that's why I rarely ever wear it that way. I always wear it up or pulled back such that people have started to think that I have really short hair. The truth is, I have a f*ck ton of hair. Haha. That's why I'm so lazy about doing anything with it! Anyway, I'm wearing a couple new things and they're pretty rad. So, let's do a run down of what I put together here.

Picture

The rad mustard coat and teal fringe scarf are items I've worn before on the old blog. I think this is my second time wearing the yellow coat, though. The last time I wore it, there was snow on the ground. o_O The thing is, it's more like a Spring/Fall coat. The material is not too heavy and not too light, but definitely too thick for Summer and too thin for Winter (without some extra layers). It's more like a blazer. So, now is the time to wear it, because I won't be able to break it out again until Spring. :D

Picture

You guys already know that I typically feel like a man in a woman's body, so the suspenders and necktie should be expected. Hehe. What pains me is that I haven't worn this necktie in foreeeever. Click here to see how I last styled it. You'd think that if I went through the trouble of having something custom made and shipped from Montreal, I would wear it more. I just forget about how much awesome sh*t I have. It's the story of my life and the reason why I'm glad I've been on a spending freeze since January. Heh.

Picture

So, here are the two new additions to my wardrobe. :D The kick ass patterned socks are from my sponsor, Sammy-Icon. You can see the socks in more detail here. They are a mix of teal, grey and yellow, but those bits are covered up. Their socks are affordable; the designs are pretty rad; and the quality is very good. My shipment arrived in less than two weeks from Ukraine and it was well packaged. I also got purple socks with red polka dots (sounds weird, but they're super cute I promise!). I'll style those on my blog later, so you can see another example of what Sammy-Icon socks look like.

The cut-out oxfords are from UrbanOG. ^_^ I've always wanted a pair of more sophisticated oxfords and these are perfect. I won an UrbanOG fashion contest awhile back on Instagram and the prize was a gift certificate. So, I waited very patiently (like five months) until I found exactly what I wanted to buy. I also got another pair of shoes that I've been coveting and I'll very likely show those off, later. :P

That's it! :D We walked a bit, enjoyed the nice weather and drank coffee. A good day.  <3

I love this red high waisted maxi skirt so much. ^_^ Every time I wear it, I can't help but do swishy things with it. Haha. It looks so great on a windy day. The soft fabric ripples and looks beautifully fluid.
So, of course I feel terrible that it has taken me so long to get around to wearing it, again. >_<

Picture
 
Click here to see how I last wore the skirt back in July. You'll see a bunch of photos I took at our local farmer's market, too. :D I wore a mix blacks and greys, back then. This time, I stepped it up by using lots of Fall colors. In that regard, the open weave duster cardigan seemed like the perfect addition. Its golden color works really well with the skirt. Also, it's lightweight and perfect for cooler temperatures.

Picture

This mint zippered handbag is amazing and I also feel bad about rarely ever wearing it. It's one of those things that I just fell in love with at first sight and that I always love seeing in my closet, but I just can't for the life of me figure out how to wear it. For some reason, I didn't think I'd have a problem working it into my wardrobe when I was contemplating buying it, but now that I have it I've been having a lot of difficulty styling it. I dunno. Maybe I'm just over-thinking it. I believe it was the right choice for this look, though. I wanted to go for something a little more earthy, like a light brown bag, but the stark turquoise ends up elevating the entire look and making it stand out even more...or so I hope? Hehe.

Picture

You might recognize this beautiful pleated floral "top." It's actually a romper and prior to this I wore it underneath pants (successfully, I might add hehe). This time, I decided to pair it with a high waisted skirt and of course that worked out wonderfully. The bright white background and the floral scheme are perfect on top of the skirt and, unlike with tight pants, I didn't have to worry about any seams showing.

Picture

In keeping with my desire to include only earthy hues, I went for these light brown zipper boots.
I've mentioned this before, but I have them in two other colors: dark brown and black. I find that I wear both of those more often and of course this bothers the hell out of me, because I like to get as much wear as possible out of all of my clothing. The dark down ones would have looked just fine with this, actually, but I forced myself to dust these off and I'm glad because they look great. Dare I say, even better! :D
