Blazer: Silence & Noise. Shirt: Asos. Leo skinnies: Trash & Vaudeville. You can find them here too. Boots: Emma Cook (one worn with the same blazer in this post). These Wangs on sale HERE give a similar look. Clutch: Zara. Similar orange clutch here. Crucifix necklace: Chains of Love. <—get 10% off or donate the amount to Japan relief with word ‘donate’ in paypal/checkout. Surplus pics on facebook.

I don’t usually wear shirts done up to the collar but I really like the look. Keeps everything boyish so I pulled the hair up. Opened up the lower buttons to still keep everything less stuffy.
***
God knows why it’s taken me this long to get leopard skinnies, but I LOVE the print on these ones – almost snake like. I wore the cream oversized jacket to keep the focus on them.
***
The $10 shades are from St Marks – the mother ship for cheap specs. They reminded me of Supers (my current wish list item). Thanks Joe 😉 Oh and the clutch – I ended up keeping the orange. I’ve been road testing it for a few days and love the pop more than the white one.

    u look so chic karen! i love how the outfit is the same palette and then BANG! before I scrolled all the way down, i thought to myself ‘a red bag would look so hot with this’ and voila! there it was! as for the high color, that’s exactly how i’ve been wearing ALL my shirts lately. it’s very androgynous, which is what i’m super feeling lately. oh those emma cooks!!! i haven’t worn mine in forever! but still love ’em so…..

    Smashing outfit!! Classy, edgy and stylish -my personal favourite entry!

  56. rinacatastrophe says:

    This look is really “cool.” I don’t know if it’s just the shades, but you know what I mean. I’m glad you kept the orange clutch! It really does surprise me that, even in NYC, people still stare at an animal print pant.

    LOve the whole outfit!

  63. Catherine says:

    I want those Wang boots so badly, but I’m sure at this new price they will sell out quickly before I get paid. I’m devastated. 🙁

  64. Sing says:

    I love this look Karen. And your high bun is awesome.

  66. Karen says:

    Thx everyone!! Been ages since I’ve had the hair up/off the face on the blog and it felt so much better. I’m sure I’ll be doing it more – esp when the NY humidity hits!!

    Purse n Boots – Supers aren’t easy to get here. Oak only had 1 pair. They’re just so hard to find….Barneys didn’t have any.

    Catherine – you’ll be suprised. not many pple are buying them so cross fingers!!

    thehautepursuit – its such a nice way to wear a shirt right?

    Dee – hello!

    TheFashionAddict – and so cheeeappp lol!! thx
