The bandage skirt

i usually shy away from very tight clothing...mainly because it rides up and i end up tugging on it all night and feeling self conscious. but this bandage skirt is different. it hardly ever rides up because of the material. i think its perfect for a date night. since the bottom is so tight i went with a more billowy top to balance it all out.






Skirt: La Cite get similar here and here | Top: Top Shop | Shoes: L.A.M.B. Morisa |
Lip: Nars Heat Wave | Necklace: Thrifted from Brooklyn Flea Market

 i have a booty and i dont like it to be fully exposed...especially on a first date. i usually wait to a second or third date to shut it all the way down lol. So i like to leave my shirt untucked in the back. it serves a dual purpose of covering my booty tootch and making the look less pretentious and more laid back. a perfect outfit for a date to dinner or a movie. i love these L.A.M.B. sandals because although they are hella high they are really quite easy to walk in for a long period of time. Stay tuned for more What to Wear Series!
whats your go to outfit for a date night?

a season ahead

I guess I like Fall but I hate the Winter in NYC. I've started to go ahead and get ready for the inevitable. I did a little thrift shopping this past weekend and got some amazing pieces for a hell of a low price.
Since the chain stores arent ready for Winter yet...I got my thrift on.









Velvet Zara Blazer $12.99
Vintage Faux Fur Cape $14.99
Velvet T-Shirt Dress $5.99

Thanks Goodwill...you are one of my favorites!
Can you all see I'm on a velvet kick?

Vintage Paisley and Bright Blue shoes







 


Outfit
Vintage Jumper Skirt: Thrifted at a tiny little thrift shop in NYC only $10 fashion STEELE!!!
Top: Cotton+Candy via Necessary Objects in Soho

This is one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. I swear I wear this jumper dress once a week in the summer and spring time. Something about the color and the paisley print just makes me happy. So happy it's trying to warm up a little here in NYC. I'm super happy that I'm finally getting to break out some of my favorite thrifted pieces in my wardrobe!
