WIW 6/28 Seattle YLF meet-up edition

I was stressing over what to wear today for the last few days. I woke up very early today and this came to me.
Club Monaco tuxedo jacket, Kenzo "No fish, No nothing" shirt, ASOS white leather basketball shorts, ASOS sheer striped socks, Robert Clergerie silver loafers, American Apparel clutch and Tom Ford sunglasses.
I'm bring my camera to the meet-up to document it. I'll probably look like fashion tourist.
After the meet-up I'm meeting a friend for Champagne tasting, then dinner. So quite a full day. Might need a triple cappuccino.

WIW 6/27 Fade to white

This outfit makes me very happy.
ALC twisted hem sweater, True Religion Cameron boyfriend jeans and new Acne Studios Pistol white suede ankle boots. 
I fell in love with these boots a while ago. Stalked for a while, and finally dropped to 1/2 off.

WIW 6/26 Plaid, lace and denim

Remember this Barneys outfit with plaid shirt and lace skirt?
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/371758144213796628/

Decided to try it today to go to a wine tasting after work. My only flat sneakers are either lace or plaid. I didn't like either option with the outfit. My Isabel Marant wedge sneakers seemed too heavy. Obviously there is plain sneaker hole in my wardrobe. So I decided on the Laurence Dacade denim patchwork boots. They create a texture overload.
Worn with R13 zip backed shirt and H&M lace skirt. I've had the skirt for years, but it's been an orphan and haven't worn it until this point.

WIW 6/25 Nordstrom Blog inspired

I really like the look on the right, but had to wait for the right weather to wear it.
http://blogs.nordstrom.com/fas.....ck-in-nyc/

Chloe sunglasses, Isabel Marant navy blazer, Rodarte for Target striped tee, denim shorts, Isabel Marant Dicker ankle boots and Yayoi Kusama for Louis Vuitton bag.
My shirt doesn't have a crest so I wore my chandelier necklace instead.

WIW 6/24 an attempt or basically a reinterpretation

The original:

So MsMary already did an absolutely stunning job on this outfit. 
http://funwithfashion.lookfab......te-oxfords

But I needed to at least try something, anything. I do not have plaid blazer, nor black and white oxfords. I do have a shrunken tipped blazer Thom Browne for Neiman Marcus x Target (by the way I have had this jacket for over a year now, and only now snipped off the threads closing the rear vent. The shame!). A plaid shirt from Marshall's years ago. R13 shredded jeans and Prada white golf shoes.
I was riding the bus this morning to work and a fellow passenger asked my about my jeans. He asked me if I bought my jeans like this. He said it happened to his jeans in the washing machine and it was probably about to happen to his current jeans as they don't make jean cotton the same anymore. Judging by the multitude of plastic bags he was carrying with his stuff, he was either homeless or of a very low socioeconomic status. I actually felt a bit guilty about my jeans, considering they're made in Italy and all. He also asked about my Pendleton messenger bag, thought the pattern was Guatemalan.

My neighborhood has a infamous Summer Solstice parade complete with naked cyclists in body paint. Going to check it out and volunteer at my local wine shop.

This dress is over two years old and still a summer staple. The jacket is nearly five years old.

WIW 6/19 To see a design show

The husband of a friend of mine is graduating in interior design. His final project exhibit is tonight.
Wearing my orphaned Vince leather tank, Fallon mixed chain and rhinestone necklace, Rachel Comey culottes and Miu Miu heeled moto booties.
I know the platform makes a bit off trend, but the heel is refined.
It took me three tries to get the right shade of red lipstick, first one was too pink, then too orange. Finally settled on Chanel's Pirate, a blue red.

WIW 6/18 Striped moto - Tanya find

EachXOther, a fancy brand once made an amazing striped leather moto. I loved it but it was expensive and hard to find.
Tanya found this BCBG variation. But it was still on the expensive side, then it went on sale, but the website had already sold out of my size. A few weeks ago I was in the downtown Seattle BCBG and decided to see if they had the jacket. They never got it, but the manager and staff were so fantastic, they tracked it down in another store and for 50% off.
So was it worth all the effort? I'll probably never wear it closed, but I always test jackets to see if they zip up.
Worn with paper straw fedora from Myers in Australia, James Perse draped tee, Courtshop faded jeans and Givenchy lace sneakers.
