Ain’t Laurent

Coat: H&M. Try Topshop, Dress: Thrift/Second hand. I spotted ones by Free People, Still thinking about this one (ugh), Asos and Mango Boots: Mango (on insane sale). Try Jeffrey Campell or say f**k it and get the Saint Laurents. Bag: Chanel (their bags are authentic and no they don’t pay or gift me). Polo neck: Gap.  Winter leggings: American Apparel
The Saint Laurent cat boots have been on my mind for months so I tried them on last week.  They are gorgeous (of course) but this was a case of where these Mango ones got the point across (excuse the pun).  These Sachas do too without being so literal.  Regardless of brand, lace up granny booties go hand in hand with vintage and are just enough punk so they fit RIGHT IN with about 80% of my wardrobe.
You’ve seen the lace dress before here back in September during the summer. I love it too much to not wear in the cold so I layered it over winter leggings and a polo neck. Plus I’ve always liked the contrast of pitch black against white. 

Ok no more writing. I’m watching the Golden Globes red carpet (at the time of writing this post)!

    LOVE them! And I love my leopard print Nine West one that you had recommended during the Black Friday sales. You give the best tips!!

    Eek but I guess Mango must have sold out of your boots because the link goes to a general Sale page. Sigh, still gorgeous though!

      Ah you got those! I remember those boots. They were such a steal. The shoes are at the shops still or get the JC ones I linked above. They were going to be my next alternative.

    My heart jumped when I saw the boots! Thought you bit the bullet and got the Saint Laurents! Now I need to find them on the Mango website in my size. Or look for them when I’m in Hong Kong. More shopping required!

      At least from a glance they look like Laurent. Actually no its more a general shape. Good luck finding them. They are great.

    Amazing boots, and I really just love this look. Pairing the delicate slip dress with leggings and a sweater looks so chic and it was a really great way to get more wear out of a great dress. You have given me great insp. for wearing summer pieces in the winter. I love your style and eat your blog for breakfast just about everyday ;-).
