What I'm Wearing
* Cynthia Steffe floral print silk dress ...from GILT ...seen here with my favorite leopard coat - I love mixing leopard print with this dress. In fact, leopard is one of the easier prints to mix {in my opinion} so if you haven't tried the print mixing trend, you may want to start with a leopard.
* Vintage leopard print blouse worn under ...last seen here tied up on the sides -worn as a jacket
* Sweater vest/cardigan from Alloy - fairly old
* Vintage black belt with gold buckle
* Vintage gold necklace & gold hoop earrings
* American Apparel Shiny Stirrup Tights
* Calvin Klein snakeskin pumps
* Tom Ford cat eye {anouk} sunglasses
* Vintage Gucci bag
* Original Title : Cat Stevens "The Wind" {... I'll never make the same mistake }

It's so crazy windy in LA right now ...I mean it's normal for this time of year but I hate it. The wind feels chaotic to me ...like The Wizard of Ozcrazy. Though it's not even close to THAT windy ...it feels like it to me. I can pretty much pinpoint the reason why the wind feels like an enemy to me ....which just so happened to be on or around Halloween when I was 5 years old wherein I went as the Blue Fairy from Disney's Pinocchio and my mom made my wings out of wire hangers and chiffon ...but made them a wee bit too large for the tininess that was I at age 5. And when I got out of the car to go to school in my costume, I was literally lifted off the ground by the wind. Only for a moment, but I definitely got air. So yeah, needless to say, the wind makes me a little nervous ;)

Not only do I love the pattern mixing in this picture, I also adore the photo of magazines. It's nice to know I'm not the only one with a slight paper editorial problem.

I love those leggings! They look gorgeous on you. I want some stirrup leggings to wear with pumps. Also, I am from Fargo and it was always windy there. I hate the wind.

Ooh hoo, print-mixing perfection. You've managed to pull off something verrry few can, IMO. Love it!

I think it's super ridiculously windy everywhere at the moment; I had to saddle up the chihuahuas with rocks in their pockets earlier today, except they don't have pockets, so. Well. Thank god for leashes?

Cute as always, and I get the wind bejeebers - especially on a day like today!

You look gorgeous (nothing new there!). It's also been incredibly windy here in Wisconsin. This morning, the news announced that the roof was partially blown off the mall that houses TJMaxx here in town. My first reaction: "I hope the clothes are okay." Yeesh.

Craftmaker said...

Wow! You are so brave mixing those prints! I wish I could be like that.

Gr8 styling and mix of prints!!!

Stephanie said...

To try out the mixed prints, what I did was pair floral Doc Martens with a plaid shirt and black leggings. It looked really great! If you haven't bought a pair of Doc Martens yet I would definetely suggest them! They're really great! Also, floral is a really easy print to mix with others in my opinion

A polo shirt is typically a cotton shirt with a color. They are usually short sleeved, but can be long sleeved as well. The first polo shirt was worn by a French tennis player named Rene Lacoste. Four years later the Lacoste alligator dominated retailer shelves around the world on the first polo shirt.stylish polo shirts
