shedding

16 February 2011
Dress: Unif sold at Nasty gal. Coat: Thrift shop in London. Boots: Jeffrey Campbell @ Solestruck. Bag: Alexander Wang (also here in black). Shades: Ray Ban. Gloves: Street vendor. Necklaces: LF (large gold) + street vendor
***
A week or so ago New York had a random mild afternoon and I thought: ‘that’s it. I’m wearing this dress right now.’
***
I can’t be bothered waiting till the ‘right’ season to wear anything. Everything is season less. I layered it over that thrifted coat I found back home in London and the JC lace ups.
***
ps. Glad you liked the street style pics below. I’ve got loads more (and videos!!). I’ll work on posting over the next few days.
***
pps. That ASOS final is coming up soon. FAAARKKK!!!!

    Really?! That bubblegum pink colour has no business being mixed with those diarrhea colors. Don’t get me started on that yuck coat– the embroidery is so tacky! That dress had so much potential and you just destroyed it. You always either look on point or like your blind.

    Those JC boots are seriously the best things ever, so drool worthy. Also dont worry, You have my vote!

    You’ll rock, Karen! You are sooo talented!! 🙂

  45. Karen says:

    Dodo – let me know if you try it! Good idea actually.

    Girl in Oslo – it wasn’t too bad that day, hence the dress but NY has been really up/down lately. Bizarre.

    Carol – it never ceases to amaze both myself and a lot of people how someone can find the time, energy and general lack of respect to write derogatory comments. I hope you have a wonderful life.

  47. Whiskey says:

    Well, that’s it. This post solidified it. You have now replaced Elle Macpherson as my top style icon. Love this look. Love the light pink with the boots. Just great!

  48. Ria says:

    I really love this pink on you.

  49. luvgmt.com says:

    This outfit looks amazing on you! I love the dress and have been eyeing it on Nasty Gal since it first popped up like a week ago but I don’t know how I’d wear it (I’m much hippier than you – Brazilians, you know how it is), but you created a fantastic look with the dress + boots combo.

    Use that dress with those boots was a great idea 😀

  56. Emma at Daily Clothes Fix says:

    I love the different lengths of your dress. The boots are the perfect length with it.
