FASHION SNAG

Alice by Temperley Leather Trench

These shoes must have been haunting me though because they popped up for 50% off on Shopbop in my size after all that time and when they arrived I was in love.

Shot on the coldest day so far this fall, this outfit was inspired by my new rust colored fuzzy sweater. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

I went to the salon to get my hair trimmed with my favorite girl Shirley and then met up with my boyfriend who snapped these photos afterward.  Shirley really liked my shoes and she has no idea how many pairs I actually own, nor does she know about Fashion Snag.  Sometimes I am tempted to tell her, but I am really good at keeping secrets.  Shirley is afraid to cut too many inches off my hair, but whenever I go in I tell her to cut off as much as she wants.  I was sort of hoping she would chop off about 6 inches, but she didn't want to do it and told me I would have to see someone else for that job.  My boyfriend could barely tell my hair was trimmed, but he did mention it was a lot more even on the bottom so I guess that is good. 

Helmut Lang never fails me in terms of casual luxury and comfort.  The sweaters and tanks might be expensive, but they are very well made and you will find yourself wearing them again and again in all sorts of ways.  I had to wait a long time to get this pointelle knit tank because my size was out of stock.  I have been wanting to wear it for some time now, but it didn't work with the bottoms I tried to pair it with until I went for these shorts.  This Helmug Lang tank features an asymmetric hem and some crochet paneling in a neat geometric pattern.  It is made of mostly linen, but it really doesn't wrinkle at all.  Underneath the tank I wore my other Itty Bitty Bra that Dorothy sent me.  This bra is more typical of the bras I normally wear.  It is lacy and has no underwire, making it perfect for sheer tops such as this one.  I also like that it doesn't have any hooks because sometimes those can dig into my skin and be uncomfortable. 

The Siwy shorts need no explanation.  Siwy is probably my favorite brand of denim at the moment, especially for shorts.  They are not too tight around my thighs and the fabric is very soft.  Also, this particular pair is lighter weight than all my others.  I like the gray color overall for a change from the usual blue denim.  I paired the shorts with a J. Crew skinny green belt that was hanging around nearby and then I matched up some earrings to go with the belt.  My earrings are sea glass and are handmade by Kori of Little Darling Designs.  Her earrings are lightweight and are great for everyday wear.  They are made for a woman on the go.  For sandals, I wore my cork lace-up suede platforms by Derek Lam.  I plan to wear these non-stop all the way into fall because nothing screams summer like a cork platform and I am not ready for fall fashion just yet.
