Completely Gratuitous Outfit Post
* The Burberry Trench *

{@ work with the iMac photobooth cam}



I am a lucky lucky girl. I know this because last Christmas my father in law gave me this Burberry trench ...well, he actually gave me a black one in a size 4 but it was too small. So I exchanged it for this classic camel version in my size, a 6 ...or at least I think it's a 6. There's no size listed anywhere!

I digress. Let me just say that this is THE FIRST TIME I HAVE ACTUALLY WORN IT OUTSIDE THE HOUSE! I know, I'm weird like that. I think I was afraid I would ruin it or something. It's like, the more expensive an item is, the less I wear it ...because I JUST GOT this leopard blouse at Goodwill over the weekend and I'm already wearing it.

















I may have to take more photos of this later with a better camera ...possibly for lookbook. We'll see how I feel when I get home this afternoon.

What I'm Wearing
Burberry Trench
Leopard Blouse: Vintage & polyester {but feels like silk} so it's easy to wash and I hang-dry almost everything - even the cheap stuff - it lasts longer that way
Jeans: Antik Denim
Shoes: Via Spiga
Scarf: Brown Pashmina
Sunglasses: Tom Ford
Hair: Blown dry this morning {which I tend to do more of when the roots are so dark and I'm avoiding maintenance} ...then curled "old school" lol ...from the bottom up with a wide barrel iron.

I am so tired today and still sick with a cold. ...and even though I am only at work 3 days a week, It's still rather slow. However, I am so quick with this imac camera, you wouldn't believe how speedy I can get these images done.

I know, my hubby scoured the world to find me orange Uggs for Christmas and I'm too scared to wear them out for fear they will get scuffed up!

Gorgeous outfit! I'm the same way with clothes...I buy something very nice, then I never wear it because I'm afraid I'll ruin it somehow.

I love the trench and LOVE LOVE that top! Can't believe you found it at Goodwill. I am now inspired to go to the store near my house. I've been avoiding it because I need to first clean out my closet! And please don't apologize for talking about fashion! Love it. It's a nice little escape, especially for those of us who are stuck in a style rut (since I seem to be living in loungewear at home while I job search)!

dayna said...

love, dayna

Chessa! said...

I am sort of the same with items that are $$$$$ - I don't know why. Except when it comes to my bag...I wear those...but I put them RIGHT BACK in their dusters with stuffing when I get home:)
you look fabulous!

Bella said...

It's delicious... and so are the Via Spiga shoes.

Love that last shot!

Angela Harris said...

SUPER cute shoes and the ankle tattoo is adorable.

Chris said...

Awesome outfits.

I'm the same way. I go through bouts of talking about fashion, then photography, then the pets, then work, etc. I just go with it, and if people don't like it or are bored, oh well, right? I love looking at other people's fashions and talking about it, so you're not boring me :)
