{ costume of the day } all i wanna wear


i keep buying new blazers, thinking they'll supplement the reliability of this vintage one in my costumeration rotation, but so far none have proven to be sufficiently up to snuff. some pieces are just always exactly what you need, you know?

these pants are quickly gaining similarly hallowed status in my wardrobe. i'll admit i may even have slept in them a time or two! i wonder if they come in other colors? must find out immediately.

i recently wore both these treasured staples with a vintage scarf-turned-turban (which i've become increasingly dependent on as i grow out my hair), my new favorite sunnies (the same style i used to accessorize this shoot), and what's sure to become this season's go-to cross-body carryall (uncovered over the weekend in a new-found vintage store!).

{ vintage scarf (tied into a turban), prada sunnies, vintage firenza jacket, alice+olivia chain-trimmed tank (gifted when i attended their SS11 show) & pants, vintage gucci bag, vintage lea stein cat brooch, manolo blahnik shoes }

I know this may sound like a silly request, but can we get a "how to" on the turban? Or a tip on it? I love the look, but I have no idea how to turn a scarf into that!

Unknown said...

i totally agree-- how the heck do you do that with a scarf? ah-mazing.

I love blazers if I could I would buy a new one everyday. I am now in a total blazer buying mode, but I don't know what to do right now I really want this coat from Asos for when I go home to Michigan, but I know a blazer would serve me so much better in California and I really try to buy only one fashion piece every pay day. I may fail this time and go for two or three I need some new jeans too. If anyone has tips on some good black jeans let me know.

The Photodiarist said...

Those pants would be challenging on most . . . but you manage to pull it off.

Laure said...

I ADORE that blazer and those shoes. As someone who has really small shoulders and has a hard time finding anything with structured shoulders that fits, I can really appreciate how well this fits you!

I'm still trying to get on board with harem pants. You wear them really well--you may have convinced me to try on a pair at the store!

Carissa said...

You forgot to say where the sunglasses are from, and that is my favorite part of this whole look. Please do tell.

You look fantastic! I could probably never wear those pants, I would imagine that the low crotch might feel really odd and uncomfortable, maybe I am wrong.

Absolutely loving turbans lately!

I love how you wear that bandana in your hair! It's lovely. And that blazer is perfect. I have a velvet blazer from the Gap from about 8 years ago and I adore it..there's no replacement!

I found your blog only recently, and I just love your style! Really cute outfit as usual.

Is it possible you could do a DIY and teach the ignorant how to tie a turban as amazingly as you do?

Hannah H said...

Beautiful blazer! And the turban is quite divine (I have a mini obsession with them at the moment) - I have to ask though - how on earth do you tie them? I second the previous commenter's request for a DIY.. pretty please!

Oh, wow. SO excited to see your vintage Gucci! I just scored two bags from that same collection and was wondering what to do with them. I couldn't NOT get them, at the prices they were offered, but wasn't sure I'd use them! Now I will!!
Yay, Thanks!!
