Elkin Noir Dress

The shoes are a personal choice, but since I was going for that western mountain look Balmain quickly solved the problem.

Western Boots

 

A snowy night in calls for some bohemian glamour in the form of faux fur, pearls, and a mysterious long black dress.  The buckle boots add that western edge that would blend in perfectly in Aspen, Colorado.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

This outfit was an experiment on layering on top and I really like how it turned out.  If you watch the video you can see my idea behind it.  The Brian Atwood ankle boots have a button tab on the back so you can make them less slouchy or more slouchy.  They look almost pink in the photos, but they are a mauve or brown color.

Spring seems like it's here so I am debuting some of my Givenchy sandals for the first time on the blog.  I cannot wait to wear them with bare feet.  They are pretty comfortable due to the wedge heel and I love the elastic bondage straps holding my feet in and the extra ankle strap.  This is one of my absolute favorite button down shirts due to the pearl detailing and buttons.  I snagged it from Fashion Toast Rumi Neely's ebay store Treasure Chest Vintage.  It is an older shirt from Express when the label said Express Worldbrand and it still had the tags attached when I bought it.  This skirt is part of an Elizabeth and James suit.  The top part which I am not wearing is a sleeveless blazer.  I will have to wear that soon, maybe with the skirt as a set.  This faux fur vest is coming in handy around this time of year as a coat.  It is reversible and it has this beautiful silk lining with a pretty print.  Next time I will wear it with the print side showing.  The other detail I like about it is the cross back, which makes it stand out in a sea of faux fur vests.  This vest was a great snag because I got it in the 70% off section of Shopbop.  I liked layering this vest over a silk long sleeve shirt because of the contrasting fabrics and I also think you need something thin and lightweight under such a bulky material. 

These photos were taken around the Denver University (DU) campus on a deserted Sunday.  I was thinking about going to law school here at one time when I was getting fed up with studying for the MCAT and it is a beautiful place with gorgeous buildings.  We will have to take some more photos here soon.  The sunlight was so warm and I love feeling it on my face.  I cannot wait for summer!
