Bonjour it's Jinah!

Thursday, November 4

Southwest Bohemian

More often than not, I take my own outfit photos. Tripod and self timer, a bit of trial and error. On the rare days that Markus and I are both around during daylight hours, he's kind enough to snap some  of my shots for me.

On this day, as usual, we were already pressed for time (it seems I'm always headed somewhere during peak photo hours) when I pulled out my camera. It didn't help that I was immediately distracted by something I spotted in the backyard.

Somebody was hiding out in our poorly tended garden box. This handsome fella claimed the biggest litterbox he could find. This probably also explains why our indoor kitties are so keen on sitting in the windowsill overlooking this side of the house. I guess I'd want to spy on the neighbors too, if they were always in my yard.

Anyhow, onto the outfit part of this post. A few weeks later, I still have Project Runway on the brain, because lately all I want to wear is fringe, southwestern colors, velvet, and feathers. If you haven't guessed already, all of these elements come from contestant Gretchen Jones' personal style and design aesthetic.

Outfit details:
Target feather chain necklace (similar here and here)
J. Crew cardigan (similar here and here)
Anthro Ambling Twists tank (similar here and here)
J. Crew Panne velvet bell skirt (similar styles: here and here)
Steve Madden Shakeit fringe boots (similar here and here)
Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini bag 

The inspiration for this outfit comes straight from Gretchen's A/W Mothlove collection, a few of the pieces she even wore on episodes of this past season. Yummy terracotta and blush colors and luxe textures with a bohemian vibe. I added a bit of a preppy schoolgirl twist to make it feel more me.


I finally realized that fall colors suit me best, and I plan to wear the heck out of my rusty colored wardrobe selection. I'm glad it's finally autumn here! Heck, I'm glad to be back. October was endlessly packed with projects and plans, and November, though just as busy, is a welcome transition.


I'm just tickled that it's sweater worthy outside! Layers, boots, and leather jackets are finally coming out of storage. Are you as pumped as I am?

  6. I'm glad you liked Gretchen's stuff too! Everybody hated on her because of her (uh, abrasive) personality, but her clothes and the stuff she wore really inspired me too.

    That velvet skirt!!!
