Georgie Ashley Lace Bell Bottom Pants in Black - Snagged off Shopbop.com for $218 Retail

Nightcap Clothing Tuxedo Tunic in Army - Snagged off RevolveClothing.com for $105 (Retail:$165)

Jessica Simpson Dany Platforms in Black - Snagged off Zappos.com for $99 and wore the tan version here with Missoni pants and here with Stone Cold Fox crochet shorts

So I decided I wanted to be an extra on the Brady Bunch show and I put together this outfit.  Since I didn't stick to my shopping ban, I received two packages on the same day.  One contained these Georgie lace bell bottom pants and the other had this Nightcap tunic in it.  I tried both items on right away and much to my surprise they looked smashing together.  I kept trying to put a white top with these pants, but something didn't look right so I went back to the army colored Nightcap tunic.  My Jessica Simpson Dany platforms come in handy for all these retro looking pants I have been collecting.  My two toy poodles, Bella and Teddi, wanted to get in on some action and since they had just had their baths they looked pretty cute.  We always have trouble photographing Bella since she is so dark, but I really like how the photos of her turned out.

Missoni Woven Wide-Leg Pants

Missoni Woven Wide-Leg Pants in Brown - Snagged off theOutnet.com for $200 (Retail: $1,000)

Pencey Peasant Blouse in Silver - Snagged off RevolveClothing.com for $52 (Retail: $215)

Jessica Simpson Dany Platforms in Tan - Worn before here with Stone Cold Fox lace hitchhiker shorts

When these pants popped up on the Outnet for 80% off I couldn't click through the checkout fast enough.  They were perfect for me and perfect for fall.  I never dreamed I would own such a beautiful pair of pants.  I love the woven zigzag fabric and I tried to give you a taste of the workmanship by including a few close-up photos.  I wore them with my Jessica Simpson Dany platforms.  I might as well tell you that I bought the platforms in tan specifically to go with these pants.  I thought they both fit a certain time and era.  On top I wore a Pencey blouse that reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where Jerry has to wear this puffy shirt and hates it.  It is funny how those Seinfeld episodes transcend time.

Kova & T Jessie Tank in Black - Worn before here with Miu Miu T-Strap Patchwork Wedges

Ben-Amun Owl Pendant - Snagged off Gilt.com for $85 (Retail: $250)

So I succumbed to the pressure and bought these Jessica Simpson Dany Platforms in both brown and black.  They are really nice and I needed them for some of my more bohemian outfits.  They are different from all my other shoes as well.  These hitchhiker crochet shorts are like boxer shorts and I could wear them all day long.  The detailing on them is gorgeous and delicate.  I can see myself wearing these over and over.  I kept it simple this time for a sushi date and paired them with a black tank and one of my big necklaces.  Don't you love owl necklaces?  As usual, Gilt is a great spot to get jewelry on sale for all your outfits.  I picked up these Jessica Simpson shoes on Zappos and I also have a banner on the left side of my blog that will take you right to them if you want to order them.  I am so happy I got these shoes.  I never got sick of seeing them on everyone else and they go with everything.

We headed over to the Cherry Creek mall to snap some photos on a rare shopping trip.  I am not that fond of the mall, especially around Christmas time.  He snapped a photo in front of the Louis Vuitton store, but soon a security guard told us we couldn't take photos in front of the store fronts in the mall. Okaaaaaaaay?  Then we headed over to Saks and I made a beeline for the 40% off shoe display and found these wonderful Gucci peep toe boots.  The leather fits like a glove around your feet.  My boyfriend bought them for me and they made up for the weird security guard.  Then we decided to have a sushi lunch at a nice restaurant inside the mall.  Afterward, I picked up my favorite lip conditioner at MAC.  The guy working there wouldn't let us take a photo in front of the display because he claimed people sell the photos online.  It was one strange photo taking day!  After that, we picked up some SmartWool socks at Nordstrom and split.  SmartWool socks from the men's section are the best socks I have ever had.  I love them. 

We ventured over to North Cherry Creek and checked out Crate & Barrel.  We love to cook and picked up some more accessories for our kitchen and then took some photos outside with a friendly dog.  I love how he is looking wherever I am looking in the photos.  So cute.  I then gazed into the Betsey Johnson store for a little while.  Betsey Johnson was my first love when it came to designer things.  I fell for all the cute dresses, but soon got burned out because it seemed like the dresses didn't really change all that much from season to season.  I still love a little Betsey in my life though. 

For this outfit I wanted to make the fringe skirt a little less dressy so instead of tucking in a top like I would normally do, I decided to just leave this turtleneck sweater untucked and let the fringe peek out underneath.  I wanted to toughen up the look so I added my Fendi studded ankle boots, which are outrageously comfortable thanks to the platform.  I carried this Zac Posen bag that has such a cute bow on it and a longer strap to use if desired.  I needed a long necklace to top off the look so I decided to finally wear my Chanel necklace from Barcelona.  To top it all off I pulled out my trusty Jessica Simpson peacoat.  I love the stitching on the back of it.  I switched to my Ugg Cardy boots near the end of our excursion to combat the snowy streets.  I rolled them down which I think makes them look cuter.  Essentially, I wore three shoes in one day.  A three in one post =) 

Happy New Year!
