Boutonnière

3.1 Phillip Lim cardigan. See by Chloe top. 3.1 Phillip Lim skirt. Vintage costume bow earrings. Vintage costume pendant necklace. Vintage costume turquoise & amethyst rings. Hue argyle tights. Delman shoes.

This is a softer take on the classic black suit: a gold buttoned skirt & a vintage button cardigan (another one of the sweaters I refurbished with buttons acquired at CT estate sales). Underneath it all is my favorite ruffled silk top printed with robots, Russian nesting dolls & desserts. My simple jewelry includes an abstract pendant necklace reminiscent of Umberto Boccioni's sculpture Unique Forms of Continuity in Space - it's as if a piece from this rippling figure flew off & I strung it on a chain.

I have some exciting news... Recently I discovered Chictopia (a fashion website where members share their sartorial ideas - much like I do here) & it quickly became one of my must-reads. Anyway, I just found out that Chictopia posted my outfit from Nov 1 on their homepage - check it out below & please also visit My ChicBlog on their site. Thanks Chictopia!
