Retro Active

When the weather gets cold and it's Wednesday the jeans/ugg boots slump seems pretty appealling, next time this happens to you think -retro. I mean why not, right? Being trendy can be challenging, while embracing your inner Jackie O just seems like fun. What's fun(ny) is that K Lou and I are so clearly on the same wave length we both showed up today embracing our respective decades and since no one seems to know what to call the current decade -I refuse to catch onto the tens, we're going to work with what we've got.
Today I've got:
magenta cardigan: J Crew
black (semi-sheer -thank goodness for photo shop) turtleneck: Target
herringbone pencil skirt: Banana Republic

Over sized cocktail earrings: Banana Republic

herringbone textured tights: Marshals

black suede pumps: Urban Outfitters

Connie McDonough Style Oracle Necklace: Forever21

Is someone holding auditions for Charlie's fourth angel?

The 70's get a bad wrap for all that polyester, but there were some seriously cool things going down and I think K Lou hit the nail on the head balancing retro themes with modern fabrics and trends:

fur vest: gift from Aunt Janet

gingham work shirt (with shoulder pads still attached): genuine throwback

mustard turtleneck: Forever 21

cream wide leg cords: J Crew
camel belt: J Crew

pendant necklace: souvenir from Key West?

camel sling back heels: Island Passage

Seriously, best outfit yet. I think so... you?
