Baby, What a Big Surprise...



coat dress inspired by Michelle Obama, 90's dark lips, long straight hair

What I'm Wearing...

* Vintage coat I found at the Melrose Flea Market over ten years ago... one of my favorites
* Vintage leather belt with a gold clasp... similar here though smaller. And this one is amazing.
* Vintage sunglasses
* Brahmin Vivian dome bag
* Longer/hammered gold choker collar necklace is vintage worn with "Olivia" gold choker from Belina ... similar here and here
* Matiko over the knee boots {One left here in a 7} I do love these boots, they're surprisingly comfortable, though they are a pain in the arse to get on and off.


dark lips, big hair, vintage sunglasses

* Lips: Sonia Kashuk lip lux in Plum Wine
* Hair: Second day after a blow dry and a 2"curl {see this post for details} then used Keratin Complex dry shampoo on my roots which adds volume.
* Pink iPhone 4 case

* Title: a Chicago "Baby, What A Big Surprise"

Mildly inspired by the 90's and Michelle Obama's belted coat dress as of late, I actually thought this would also be a fun little getup for Valentine's day {in retrospect, because I have obviously already worn it}. Considering I'm wearing a coat as a dress, I could easily hide a cute little Valentine's Day surprise underneath for the husband. Which is an obvious cliche, of course, but still appropriate for the holiday and hopefully a big surprise.

I wish we had great vintage stores over this side of the world. We have some good ones but nothing compared to what you get in Europe and America. That coat is fantastic and it fits you like a glove.
Love the all black look...
