flares, fur and a snake print

by Karen Blanchard
2 January 2011


Faux fur jacket: Topshop (worn a year ago here). Sheer snake print shirt: Vintage (Beacon’s Closet). Belt: Gift from Michael (thx lovely). Flared jeans: J Brand (love these): Doll Boutique. Snake cowboy boots: Vintage. Hat: Makins. Vintage satchel: Coach (eBay or get it new here). Suede bracelet: Spare fringe/tassles wrapped around wrist.
***
Ok let’s do this – first post of 2011.
***
It’s started wearing my favourites: A brimmed hat. A long hair fur jacket and flared jeans (God knows why it took me this long to get black ones I can wear forever). Yessssss.
***
I’ve noticed that I hardly wear button up shirts. If I do it’ll be one I reeeeeally love. Case in point: It’s transparent and snake print??? A no brainer – as Americans say.

    Great first post of 2011! Fabulous! (As always!) I love fur (faux of course). The way you mixed in snake print and flares makes it more casual. Great job!

    Oh, yeah…I need to ask you something, Karen!
    You’re a REALLY good fashion stylist, so I was inspired by you to create my own blog. I don’t know exactly what to call it, that’s why I’m asking you for help. I’ve provided my email below, so if you can, please contact me.

    (I also need to ask you how to dressup a plaid button up!)

    Thanks and Happy New Year!

    XOXO,

    Ashton D.

    You’ve got to have a sheer leopard shirt moment. I just started a blog…it’s more abou other poeple than myself but that seems to be my life. I’d love it if you looked around because the likelihood of you featuring on it is huge. If you don’t mind of course.

    I adore that faux fur.

  46. Sasha et moi says:

    snake print not easy to put on but looks great on you, Bonne année !

  49. Charlana says:

    Fantastic start of the New Year…love the bells and boots.

    Ashton – the blog name should really be anything that says something about you or what your blog is about : ) Good luck. It took me a while too but then it (literally) hit me. The name should best come from the blog owner though since it’s so personal.

    Stylecrasher – I noticed their recent Look Book too. They’re def not copying me although that’s a nice compliment. TS def thought about the look from a while ago.

    Nita Karoliina – I know BC is like crack sometimes. Then again most vintage places are.

  52. Nadette says:

    you look freakin fabulous! I’m all about black jeans right now. currently looking for the perfect black skinnies and boot cuts!

  56. Liz says:

    love your hat!
    I start to use hats since a few months ago
    but I dont know, I think I look weird :S
    But you look gorgeous.

  57. Karen says:

    Liz – nahhh you just haven’t FOUND the right one yet. Trust me, it takes time but when you do you’ll never take it off lol!!

    Nadette – And it’s a never ending search right? Funny how basics like black skinnies aren’t that easy to find. Still baffles me though I took this long to get black flares. oh well, better late than never.

  58. Lonesome Mama says:

    This is sooo ultra flare and fantastic – I can just lay down and die

  59. Daria says:

    You should wear button downs more often. I love this one on you.

    Well, you’re easily the best dressed at Petey’s!
