A gloomy day in the STL...although sometimes I like a little bit of gloom.
With fall having officially arrived earlier this week I found myself looking to one of my all time favorite chick flicks for inspiration - Love Story. I don't know what it is about fall, but it always makes me think of college campuses decorated in ivy and leaves. Love Story perfectly demonstrates 70s collegiate fashion at its best. A little bit hippie, a little bit preppy, with a touch of conservative....but always stylish.
Went with my vintage highwaisted wideleg plaid pants from tag*, a gray pocket tank from Gap, brown braided leather belt from Target and Kenzie brown leather cutout slingback wedges. Accessorized with what has quickly become my favorite hat, my big gold watch, blue jeweled vintage pinky ring, gold vintage cuff, wood/gold bangle, with small gold butterfly necklace and long carved leaf pendant necklace.
Total outfit: about $125 (my watch and butterfly necklace were both gifts, the tank was on sale, the hat and cuff are both from thrift stores, and the shoes were a little pricey but I've had them forever. A majority of my shoes were purchased back in the good old days of bartending and making way more money than any college student needs...what else was a girl to spend her money on?!)
So wishing I could be with Jen tomorrow to help her celebrate turning 27!!
