Equipment Shirt

The heel on these Alaia boots gets me every time.  It is a testament to the time Alaia spent studying architecture.

Gryphon Burnout Skirt

 

To dress down some overly sexy stretchy suede thigh high boots I wore a full skirt in a beautiful burnout texture.  Olive green is one of my favorite colors so when I saw this skirt with its lovely combination of velvet and silk I was smitten.  Pairing it with a sheer safari looking shirt from Equipment and a T by Alexander Wang sports bra, I made the boots look almost demure.  A gold ring was the only jewelry I needed to finish off the outfit.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

This skirt caught my eye a few months ago and I waited until it went on sale to snag it.  The bold geometric patterns and chunky yarn embroidery made it stand out from the rest of the mini skirts.  I adore Gryphon skirts and I have worn a scalloped green one before on Fashion Snag encrusted with rhinestones.  Both of my Gryphon skirts were made in India, which is why I think they look so unique.  I like a good silk/cotton blend in fabrics and this skirt consists of just that mixture.  This one is so colorful so I went along with that theme by pairing it with a basic ribbed tank from Abercrombie & Fitch.  I live in these types of tanks all summer long when I am running errands.  I have them in all the colors so I was happy to see that this turquoise one matched the Gryphon skirt perfectly.  I am never afraid of matching items too much.  I think you can have lots of fun with this skirt by pairing it with different color tops or even a different patterned top.  I wore my Only Hearts coral lace bralette underneath.  I've always liked coral/red and turquoise together.  For shoes, I wore my current favorite pair of wedges by Givenchy.  Some white Hawaiian stone earrings by Little Darling Designs completed the summer look.  I think these are my favorite pair of earrings out of all the pieces Kori sent me, but it is difficult to decide.

My boyfriend and I went out to see the Black Swan and later had a delicious sushi dinner.  I thought the movie was spectacular and not really scary, just very intense and deep, which I like.  We took these photos after the night was drawing to a close and we were strolling in Larimer Square.  We thought the lights looked beautiful and there were these cute metal buffalo lined up along the sidewalk.  I wore my Gryphon fair isle leggings, which have to be the thickest pants I own.  I always dreamed about fair isle knits and when I saw these I had to own them.  They are made out of wool with leather piping details and the pattern is not the most flattering, but they definitely keep you warm.  I think I could wear these skiing. 

On top I layered my T by Alexander Wang crisscross bra underneath a Patrick Robinson for Target v-neck knit top.  I never take this bra top off.  It was my first T by Alexander Wang bra, but now I am convinced these are the only bras I want.  I don't even notice I am wearing it.  I then threw on this Shimera cashmere hoodie with bell sleeves and my Mike & Chris leather hoodie.  This outfit was all about comfort in the movie theater.  I didn't want to be distracted during the Black Swan.  For shoes, I wore my Camilla Skovgaard wedge ankle boots.  I needed the traction of the soles for walking.
