lace + the disco ball

by Karen Blanchard
12 June 2011
Here’s the rest of the pictures I took for Solestruck vintage.  Two different looks but you could easily swap the boots to go with either.

These two girls were so cute. They rode up to me and started asking loads of questions (and they weren’t annoying suprisingly)

One of my fave vintage jackets
Pink dress: Shareen vintage. leather bag: Rebecca Minkoff (this Wang is a similar hue).  I have the black RM as well. Necklace: Topshop. Crystal ring: Mania Mania. Starfish ring: Random NY shop (found a similar one online). Boots: Solestruck vintage. 2nd look: Sequin jacket: Thrift/vintage. Shorts: Urban Outfitters. Shades: Ray Ban. Boots: Solestruck vintage (click here for my interview w/ Solestruck)
The black boots are with the pink lace dress some of you wanted to see more of.  I found it one bored lunch hour at Shareen vintage. If your new to my blog you can read my Shareen visit here.
I wore the brown boots with leather rope trim with the harlequin jacket and old shorts. I can’t believe I almost got rid of this jacket. Honest I did. It was a wtf was I thinking moment the next day when I realized hang on – no I do really like it. Drips the odd sequin now and then but sod it – still a fave. The disco ball effect when light hits it is enough to make me crack up too.

    I would give anything to own your sequin jacket. And I like that you wore it in the daytime. But I’m loving the long pink lace dress even more.
