When All Else Fails: Black + Denim...and Stripper Shoes

 Black and denim has been my go-to look in a crunch every since I can remember.  When all else feels, it is a look that you can count for instant chic.  This morning I was in a bit of a rush (what's new?) and having one of those indecisive closet moments. You know the ones where you look at clothes you've frantically piled on your bed only to be left feeling like you "have nothing to wear" despite the fact that you couldn't fit another hanger on the rod if your life depended on it. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has these moments.  These are usually the moments that result in a weekend closet audit and a subsequent haul.  On these days you reach for the tried and true...

What I'm Wearing...
~ Up Against The Wall black boyfriend blazer
(This wasn't really apart of my outfit originally, but I grabbed it on the way out the door! LA is usually cold in the morning even if it warms up to 80 during the day!)

~ DM New York black button down halter with floral ruffle detail
~ CAbi dark was boot cut jeans
~ Vintage gold leather tie belt (passed down from a friends aunt)
~ Michael Antonio lucite "stripper" heels with gold trim
~ Guess earrings
~ H&M leopard cat eye sunnies


This is one of my fave hair styles though my friend say it's an old lady hair style.  I completely disagree.  I think its just classic...equestrian inspired? I don't know, but I love it! I always feel sophisticated when I wear my hair like this!

 
Lucite heels...actually all things lucite have been all the rage over the last couple seasons, but I've had these for about 3 years.  I bought them to wear with satin Grecian inspired white dress, and 'clear' shoes were perfect.  Strappy metallic sandals were the obvious alternative, but these were much sexier, in my opinion.  There is something about lucite stilettos that is just sooo sexy!  Of course, we all know there is a fine line between sexy and ummm stripper.  But when done right, they are very cute! If you're hesitant to jump on the lucite heel bandwagon, try a lucite wedge!
 Thanks for stopping by!!
