wear it differently

by Karen Blanchard
17 March 2010
Leather jacket: Zara. Grey dress: Forever21. Leopard tunic: H&M. Belt: (can’t remember). Bag: Coach. Fringe ankle boots: Minnetonka. Shades: Ray Ban. Nails: Urban Outfitters in ‘White’
OMG is that sun? blue sky and it’s warm? God we’ve waited so effing long for this.
Nothing here you haven’t seen before, just worn different ways. The leopard print tunic dress is layered over my long grey dress and belted. I’m no stranger to layering dresses together, like here before. The Minnetonkas are for long pavement walks (in the sun!).
The bag is courtesy of Coach (thank you!). Always had one eye open for an oversized ivory leather bag so this is perfect (and makes a change to what I always carry)

    Love the style in this photo! Hair up with aviators = stunning. The lip is not to be forgotten. I don’t know if you’ve said it before, but what brand/color is this lipstick? I think it’s the perfect pop of color!

    I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous of that gifted Coach! I wonder if it comes in black — you styled the cream version well but I’m all about the black bags.

  45. lisa @ luxe says:

    Your hair looks great up – that pic you posted from ANTM would like great on you!
    Not a fan of Coach or that colour, but you make bags look good!

  46. Karen says:

    ok ok ok. The lipstick is Show Orchid by MAC!!! : ) Used their Magenta lip liner as well.

    BarelyVogue – thx. I need a back up in another colour! Ivory would be perfect.

    Scorpion Disco – keep looking. One should turn up. F21 via Twelve by Twelve should do something again I’m sure.

    Lions Tigers – loads of other blogs have great pics too but thank you! We need to thrift together. You get the best stuff.

    Fashion Cloud – thank you – i just saw!!!!

    Those still asking, the JC giveaway winner was announced below under an earlier post.

    Thx everyone for the comments!!!!!

    Oooooh you maxi girl!

    I can’t wait for Glasgow to get a little warmer so I can unleash my maxis!

  51. Mademoiselle says:

    I heart Ren, your blog is such an inspiration and your fun pics make me smile, I love your sense of style which is very much your own….
    NYC is such a fun City and the weather was awesome. After seeing your pics I wished I was on 5th avenue…..I’m always in soho. Love your blog.
    Cheers.

  52. Karen says:

    Katie – Start wearing them now!! Just wearing winter leggings or double up on winter tights under and do it now.

    Mademoiselle – thanks. I so want another one in another colour.

    Iamhaidrofilik – it was comfortable. The minnetonkas alone make you feel like your wearing outdoor slippers.

  53. peezy says:
