WIW 3/27 layered leopard

So today I went for a much overdue trip to the salon, then driving to Portland to see a friend and get a mini-break.
APC blue leopard sweatshirt, Acne sheer black blouse, True Religion Cameron boyfriend jeans, Balcienaga Ceinture boots.
More than one stylist at the salon noticed my shoes. 
Normally I am Team Wear, but the this Acne, blouse, I've had for over a year, with the tags still on it. I have the same blouse in purple and a creamy taupe. I knew I'd wear it, just a matter of when.
Also this sweatshirt is completely awesome at hiding stains, because I spilled tomato stuff on and you couldn't see it.

WIW 3/24, in which something is actually worn out

So these jeans are from the Gap, they're about five years old. I got them when boyfriend jeans were first trending, and I didn't want to invest a lot in a trend I wasn't sure about. They were before Gap came out with Sexy Boyfriend, this was when only Current/Elliott had made boyfriend jeans. Well today I lost the button, luckily I was wearing a belt.
Wearing Acne pony hair hat, Alexander McQueen scarf, Kenzo sweatshirt, Nanette Lepore leather jacket, studded belt, Gap jeans, and Balcienaga Ceinture boots.
Bonus shots from hiking to Wallace Falls on Sunday.

WIW 3/22 Starbucks approved

Getting my car serviced today and went to Starbucks, cashier loved my outfit and thought it was freaking adorable.
Went into the neighborhood to find a picture location and since Angie just dubbed me Queen Architectural, I thought this monkey puzzle tree was a fitting backdrop. Bonus pictures of some flowers for those of you still in last throes of winter with snow laden environs.
Wearing Acne Merci leather moto jacket, Frame white denim overalls, Costco Equipment knock-off shirt, multi chain gold necklace from Neiman Marcus, Giuseppe Zanotti gold heeled boots and turquoise Coach bag.

WIW 3/21 crooked pics

Ok I didn't set my camera up right on the tripod this morning. I almost wasn't going to post it because they're so bad, but here goes. 
I'm wearing a cardigan over a cardigan. 
The over cardigan is a vintage Cowhican sweater that was my mother's from the early 70's. It is an amazing thick wool. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowichan_knitting

Underneath, Woolly minded leather trimmed black and blue striped leather trimmed cardigan, giant black alpaca scarf, Sass and Bide faded black skinnies, and Laurence Decade patchwork denim boots.
I had no events planned for today, but a last minute facebook appeal pulled together an awesome happy hour with friends. Good friends make all the the difference in life, truly.

WIW 3/8 Party Edition

If you are looking for shoes, they're aren't any. I'm going to shoeless birthday party at a friend's place. Do you know how hard it is for me to build an outfit WITHOUT shoes?
Anyways, wearing an old Vince sequin shirt, R13 chaps jeans, and new Smartwool socks.

WIW 3/7 Opera Edition

Tonight I'm seeing The Consul. It was written in the 50's and is about confronting bureaucracy. It is also three hours long with two intermissions. I sincerely hope I don't fall asleep. 
Anyways this is a Marni dress I bought years ago from a sample sale. I tried to consign it with the tags still attached. It did not sell. So I am trying to salvage it. I think I'm going for fashion blogger escaping from the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. It probably doesn't quite work, but I'm going solo tonight, so you'll have to let me know if it's off to the fashion gulag for me.
With Brooks Brothers button no-iron button down, Fallon mixed chain and rhinestone necklace, and Miu Miu platform sandals.
If I look tired it is because I'm exhausted.
