Silk and Cashmere

Usually I am not opposed to the idea of wearing black and brown together but the thought of wearing my black faux leather pants with my brown leather bomber actually makes me cringe. So when I was getting dressed, after I had put on this grey cashmere jumper, I found myself in an overly dramatic state of horror. I wanted to collapse, how could I go on?! I definitely was not going to spend the day with the black faux leather and brown leather combination that I previously mentioned and I was not willing to spend the day freezing either. In addition to that, I recently discovered that I do not have the greatest collection of jackets and this incident only made it feel smaller. However, my state of horror was short lived, I remembered that silk and cashmere together make a natural insulator and with that note in mind I was ready to go.

100th Post

I am excited to say that it is our 100th post! I have to admit that it came unexpectedly so I do not have anything special to post. Oops!

My outfit post: I find it enjoyable to look at a brand's lookbook after buying an item from one of their collections to see how they styled the garment or what colors they paired it with. Not to copy it but for a point of reference. Although I have seen the T by Alexander Wang lookbook a thousand times, I cannot say I actually have any look memorized. After I had gotten my new skirt I was curious to see how it was styled in the lookbook. Like I said before I never copy a look but after seeing how they styled the skirt I had to try it. Layer on layer on layer on layer (I count the skirt as a layer), literally four layers for Spring! Isn't that marvelous sounding?

Even though I am obsessed with layering (an obsession that started as a necessity form living in the North East) I could not go for all four layers, I do not think I have the attention span for that. Instead I did three. The first is the jersey T by Alexander Wang skirt, then a silk blouse from Equipment, and over that is a light pink knit jumper from Cheap Monday. The shoes are my Jeffrey Campbell 'Mariel' wedges in glitter (worn with black socks).

White knit shorts

I kind of have a thing for knit shorts. I have ever since I tried my first pair on at LF in LA during winter break. I love them. They are so feminine and delicate. I got this pair of crocheted white shorts from H&M (everyone else has them too so we can all wear matching outfits, exciting!) and paired them with a silk top from Equipment, a blazer from H&M and my Jeffrey Campbell Litas.
