Opposite ends

by Karen Blanchard
8 November 2011

Heels are over rated (sometimes)….

Jacket: Juicy Couture. Top: Vintage (found this graphic version and this all black one).  Trousers: Mng by Mango.  Bag: Forever 21.  Flats: Valentino Shades: Ray Ban
I don’t wear all black that much. If you want to, try mixing different textures (I’m lazy so for me that means putting on something beaded).
I like that this bag isn’t black but a charcoal grey.  It’s probably my favourite inexpensive ones. Still can’t believe it’s Forever 21. On the other end of the credit card spectrum – the shoes. The shooooooeeees!!! Really. Not taking them off. 
ps. I dyed my hair a little lighter.  You can sort of see in the 2nd pic.

    I could not agree more, especially now that winter is around the way, I just don’t know about stomping through these NY streets in 4 inches. Love the all black ensemble btw, the beading on the shirt is fab!

    I love your top and the flats too, but I don’t look as good in flats as you do! You’ve got to give me some of those legs, girl!

    What I love here is the big shoulder with the jacket compared to the slim fit of everything else. It almost gives you a matador look, they always have the tiniest waists and butts.
