Aww yeah. ^_^ This post is a fun one! I feel like I've been giving into my introspective and kind of dark side lately, so I wanted to do something energetic and whimsical, but still classy and cute. As you can see, I did some very simple layering with a bright red romper (which you may remember from this previous post), a thrifted striped sweater and my trusty black cardigan. I added my rather pathetic DIY experiment from earlier this year hehe along with my favorite satchel bag, black tights and ankle boots.

The one item that really brings this outfit together, though, is the vintage (faux) fur hat! It's sooo soft and warm. It covers my ears completely and the inside consists of soft satin material so the hat keeps my ears comfortable and toasty. You may notice from the photos that it juts out a bit at the front. That protrusion will be handy in drizzling rain and snow!
This hat is available for purchase on Etsy! Score!

I loved every minute of wearing this outfit. It was so fun! ^_^ I felt a bit like Jamiroquai with the fur hat, but with all of the colors combined I couldn't help but think of the Queen's Guard in London.
Hence, the name of today's post and this playful salute. What a way to start the week! Haha. Have a great day! :P

In Your Face Lace

Today, I'm showcasing one of the most intricately detailed pairs of jeans with which I have ever come into contact. O_o o_O It originated in Japan, based on the tag info and it's a real beauty. You'll see some closeups of the overlapping strips of fabric and lace in the photos below.  So amazing!

Yeah, that's right. That's a f*cking pot leaf, bro! Haha. Greatness! :D I'm really tall, so it may not be obvious, but the pants are actually high waisted and have a slight flare at the cuffs. That quality, along with the florals, fringe and the pot leaf give this piece a 70s hippie boho flare that I love. The details are quite stunning in real life, so I decided to wear only neutral colors to allow those intricacies to shine.

I did some simple layering with a fringe poncho, thick infinity scarf and buttoned shrug sweater. You'll notice the different colors in each piece create a bit of a layer cake effect. I really like combining different shades of the same hue. When layering dark pieces, I think differentiation is important. Textures and reflective fabrics help prevent everything from looking overly homogenous.

These jeans created the perfect canvas for what I consider to be a boho chic look with a dark edge. :P Oh and these pants are for sale! If you think you have what it takes to rock these threads, buy it!
