Now that it's really, officially summertime, the inevitable shift in retail happens. That's right, I'm already unpacking boxes upon boxes of fall clothes at work. Among the sweaters (gasp!) and coats (ick!) came this leopard spotted number.
I surprised myself by being so drawn to it--it's really the culmination of so many things I don't like in my wardrobe. It's jersey, it's black, it's got a hideous backwards hook and eye detail, and it's a JERSEY DRESS.
But...
They're easy. And summer means carefree, easy dressing. Especially when it's high heat and a squillion percent humidity. Okay, the JERSEY DRESS. Okay, so I gave in.
I always promise myself I won't talk about the weather, but I guess that ship already sailed. It's not really seriously a squillion degrees or a squillion percent humidity, I think I've just been reading too much of the Shopaholic series this summer.
Outfit details:
- Free People burnout leopard dress from Squash Blossom (not yet on site, similar in pink)
- Madewell confetti scarf (similar by Tolani)
- Hayden Harnett Wyeth Hobo
- Dolce Vita for Target buckle boots
- Chan Luu wrap bracelet in khaki mix (also not on site, sigh)
- TOMS eyewear Classic 101 sunglasses
I am totally digging your hair in this color. And you look AMAZINGLY ROCK AND ROLL. I love this! I hear you on the love/hate thing with jersey dresses... I always feel like they're a little too easy, but that's also the biggest benefit of a jersey dress -- their easiness! But the crazy hemline and leopard print makes this dress anything but another ho-hum jersey dress -- it's downright sassy!
ReplyDeleteUmmmm, these boots are new.
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the hipster in you - this is such an easy breezy look, but you totally detailed it out with the accessories and made it fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLove your styling here Jinah!
ReplyDeleteWhat? No, totally not new. In fact, I wore them in September (http://bonjouritsjinah.blogspot.com/2010/09/bonjour-september.html). I mean, they are on sale for like $12 at Target now. lol
