Vest? Thrifted (similar here) Jeans? FCUK, Winners Tank? Roots Sandals? Asos (white or blue)
Purse? Tignanello, thrifted Sunglasses? Betsey Johnson

Sometimes I wish I had a signature look. That everyday I would put on some variation of that same look and slay you all with my non-stop chicness. As an international style icon, I would go through packs of cigarettes a day as street photographers would jostle to capture me hailing a cab or checking my phone.
Instead this blog is a little like a personal fashion experiment. Over the 3 plus years that I have recorded what I wear, there have been some hits and there have been some misses. I hope there are more hits as I get older and infinitely more mature. I'm figuring out what works with my body and what trends I actually like, instead of what trends J. Crew likes. Yes, J. Crew made socks and peep toes look styled and sharp in their catalogues but I just looked (and probably felt) like an idiot and I can admit that now.
That is not to say that I want to stop fashion experimentation. I love clothes; their shape, their texture and their possibilities. I mostly love that I am at a place where I feel equally as comfortable in a vintage dress, as in a baggy, bleach splattered pair of jeans. Fashion should be fun and I am having fun getting dressed. And as always, I will continue to wait for that street style photographer to capture me. I've been faux-hailing a cab for three years now and not once have I been snapped. What gives?

I love those jeans!

As for streetstyle, try dressing as either a hooker or a clown. Those two styles usually work ;-)

those jeans are great. I am seeing a lot of distressed denim these days but those take a up a notch - on trend and unique.

gorgeous lipstick! what's the colour?

Thrifted or Scripted? said...

The simple fact that you DON'T always look the same is what draws me to your blog. I enjoy seeing your take on trends and the interpretation of your clothes.
PS. Cigarettes are bad for you and cause wrinkles...keep being you!

I feel the same way! During this pregnancy I'm trying to buy just a few chic basics to mix and match. It's easier to get dressed. . . but it's also more boring. :)

Obviously you are *so* uber-chic that you fly under the radar...like those rich, chic women who travel to places like Monaco and Saint Tropez. Once you're "discovered" you become a has-been! ;)

I LOVE this look on you! Now I'm going to go splatter my jeans with bleach ;)

I love how adventurous you are with your fashion sense. I like that every time I come to the blog, I don't know what I'll get, and I'm always surprised and intrigued and most of the time very much inspired. A signature look is fine, but let's face it - maybe a wee bit boring? Keep up the great work and great style!
