jersey girl

by Karen Blanchard
4 February 2010
Jersey dress: Forever 21. Sequin top: Thrift. Boots: Minnetonka. Top hat: Free People. Leather jacket: Zara. Bag: Thrift (DIY studded). Shades: Ray Ban. Winter leggings & thigh high socks: American Apparel (unseen). Nails: Sally Hansen High Definition. Crucifix: Fashionology
Took these shots a few days ago so a bit late in posting. This is the ‘tattered’ sequin top that I posted about here.
I liked the look of it layered over a long grey jersey dress. Underneath are American Apparel winter leggings (they are a God send), plus thigh high socks on top and a wool cardi under the jacket.
I tell you, it’s like bloody rocket science trying to layer in New York at the moment.
ps. Thank you American Apparel for the pic of me here wearing your fleece pants.
pps. Garance, I saw you listed in the same spot. I am soooo copying your DIY idea.

    karen-im so in love with your layering skill as they don’t look bulky at all!! whenever i try to layer up i always ended up looking very chunky…by the way, saw a picture of you in lucky mag today :))

    i once did exactly the same thing: a black beaded spag top over a long black stretchy dress, threw a white sleeveless shirt over and wore yellow sneakers. guess i did something right 🙂

  29. redheadfashionista says:

    PS There’s a girl in Lucky magazine that looks suspiciously like you…..

    Hi, love the dress and layering. I am hoping you are staying warm. I would love to know where you got the huge snake ring on your index finger? Thanks for any help. Alyson Bird

  34. Karen says:

    Eugenia – I like

    Redheadfashionista – its me : )

    Fashion Chalet – thanks girl! Hurry up and get a long dress already.

    Alicia – Thx, I’ve fallen hard this winter for bright nails. The usual dark ‘rule’ just doesn’t feel right anymore. Especially when it’s winter.

    Diana – ha! Peace ; )

    Tiffany – thx for the heads up! i picked up a copy today : )

    All Women Stalker – get one. Makes a change from the usual.

    What is Reality Anyway – I’m still saying WTF over the Bess stuff!

  35. Karen says:

    Alyson – the snake ring is from a small accessories shop on 7th street in the East Village.

  37. Karen says:

    Hi damesf – thank you : ) I think this is one of my faves for some reason.

  39. Matilda says:
