Panels & Layers

H&M sweater, C&C tank, vintage belt, Mossimo cardigan, H&M leather paneled leggings, Ralph Lauren boots, Linea Pelle bag (seen here), Marc by Marc Jacobs pendant, Michael Kors watch

At Fashion Week last February I was obsessing over cigarette pants (Irina Shabayeva’s were A-mazing) and leggings that featured leather paneling. I lusted over a pair of Alice + Olivia ones at Scoop that same week, but they cost no where near what I could justify spending on this sort of item.

Henceforth, when in New York a few weeks ago, I was school-girl silly excited to come across these alternatives from H&M. At just $19 they were a total steal and the compliments received on them has made it feel like they’ve paid for themselves (oh, if only!). They are so comfy and I can’t wait to wear over-sized sweaters with them and curl up under my favorite Cabela’s blanket and sit by the fireplace at home in Chicago!

p.s. these RL riding boots are my favorite boots of all time. So comfortable and classic. I’ve practically been living in them since Fall started to settle in. I always get asked about them so I set out to see if there was a similar style and Piperlime has a pair that are practically identical and also Lauren by Ralph Lauren.

Polka Dots & Velvet

 
 

H&M blouse, Uniqlo velvet skirt, Max Studio shoes, vintage clutch (my grandma’s), Michael Kors watch.

During one of my New York trips last month I had the best unexpected run-in right smack dab in the middle of Madewell in SOHO. I got to see w&w contributor, modman and blogger bff Virginia of The Lovely 20s and it was such a delightful surprise.

It also proved to lead to this little velvet skirt number as Danny informed me I was out of my mind to never heard of Uniqlo. Obviously, I clearly went straight down the street and entered this mecca of basics (Danny was, indeed, correct) and while I nearly lost my mind, I instead found restraint (where from, je ne sais pas!) and left with only this velvet paper bag skirt.

Velvet was a trend I wasn’t sure I would get on board with this season, but this skirt suits me for transitioning a favorite wardrobe element of mine (skirts) into the colder weather.

P.S. – In case you missed it, yesterday modman profiled the new coat collection from Uniqlo. So the next question is who wants to go and get me one since I am geographically challenged right now? :)
