Black sheer maxi dress: Courtesy of Olive Shoppe (wore it under a big cardi here). Poncho: Spanish Moss vintage. Jacket: Topshop (worn with jeans here). Crosses: Fashionology/random NY shops/Foley & Corinna vintage. Boots: Gee Wa Wa via Solestruck.

A crimson wool poncho. A fringe jacket and a black maxi. I tried all options indoors recently with big boots. The last picture was a mistake but I liked the weird blurring.
***
ps. I’m doing a few giveaways very soon open to Google Readers and Facebookers only (yes I said that word). Sign up on both if you want in (and none are shoes).
***
pps. I need your help again guys. Thanks to YOU I made it through Round 1 for the ASOS stylist competition! Can you help me make it through Round 2? I’m currently trailing near the bottom 🙁 The bottom 2 will get voted out. Click on the ASOS picture on the left sidebar and vote with a ‘like’ (you have to ‘like’ the ASOS page first). Thank you!!

I need you more than ever this time (sounds cliche but it’s true)

    I love the fringe jacket. Fabulous! That would be a good DIY project for someone. Not me. I’m too busy to paint my toes right now. But someone should totally try to make that thing.

    Hi Karen,
    I think it might be the first time ive commented but ive been reading your blog for months. Your outfits from Dec 11th onwards have been off the hook!! That Dec 11th dress is incredible, ive browsed ASOS in the hope to find it but it wasnt there, so sad 🙁
    I love fashion but since i became muslim 6 years ago my style has had to change so much that i wear pretty simple stuff nowadays. Now i get my style fix through vogue, harpers, and blogs like yours!

    I know I’m a bit late commenting on this post but the two black and white shots with the sheer dress are front and center on my inspiration board! You carry the whole look off with such ease … thanks for the inspiration!
