Potential Outfits

Well I know it has been a long time as Karen keeps on informing me. So I finally took to it and made some potential outfits for New York. My inspiration comes from watching non stop movies this week. From Roman Holiday, Funny Face, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sunset Boulevard, To catch a Thief, A Place in the Sun, Elephant Walk, Rear Window, and a little bit of Gidget. Mostly Edith Head was the costume designer on these movies. Her styling are perfect for the parts. I love her.

So back to the fact that I put together some outfits and photographed them, below.

First this is a jacket my mom just got me I just love it. It just sways out and if you can't tell it does have sleeves. NO IT IS NOT A PANCHO. I haven't decided what i would wear it with but it seems versatile.

This is a great walking outfit. It includes cut-off shorts with some scrapes, a very feminine blouse to contrast to the rough shorts, one of my favorite cardigans (I should have gotten many more in different colors), and the bag is a pastel clutch which has the strap to easily wear when walking.

So I put a few options up with the same blouse (seeing that I love it so much). This option consists of the floral blouse, jersey knit skirt, cardigan, and my favorite part THE BELT. It is my mothers vintage which I am pretty much leaving my soul at home to make sure I don't loose this belt. It is a woven material with light brown leather accents. It is very 70's which I love with the floral. Great spring/summer look. I question whether it is too spring looking???
Ignore my huge legs in this and my mess room. I think this option is a great look for a Sunday night, maybe dinner? It is basically the same outfit above but with the black vintage belt (again my moms) and the woven two-strap wedges. I was thinking I might pair this with the red jacket. I think it would make a great silhouette. This look is one that is not using that same blouse (thank god). No this outfit consists of some brown shorts with a bit of pleats on them, a guys blue and white strip dress shirt, an undershirt, and a great brown leather belt. It is a skinner belt which I love. Also, it has a gold pendent a the belt buckle. Now I don't intend on wearing these shoes with it but am questioning what shoes to wear with this. Maybe these knock off vans that are blue and yellow plaid or there is always some brown leather flip flops or I just thought my goldish t-strap sandals. Whatever the case I am not quite sure I absolutely LOVE this outfit. Hopefully it will grow on me. OK I absolutely love this outfit. Definitely a contender. This outfit would be great for sight seeing then maybe a quick lunch at a cafe. I like the simplicity of this outfit. It starts off with this off red color skirt I'm sure you can't tell but this skirt has some gold detailing at the bottom (also it hangs off the hips), this cardigan that I got a size too big but when you roll up the sleeves it looks really cool (Karen also has this cardigan), all of this is squeezed in by the same leather belt in the previous outfit.

So now it is your turn to comment on my potential outfits. Now I want you to keep in mind that this is just a few outfits with more to come. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

Until whenever,
