GILDED LACE

My new solution to dreary winter weather (that just wont quit. Seriously, more snow today??) is metallics! I am still saving bright colors for when the sun decides to surface, but do greatly appreciate the people rocking colorful coats around town. I found this skirt at a darling vintage store in New Orleans called The Revival Outpost, you must visit it if you are in town. Wearing gold fabric reflected the little lit of sunshine that was out and at least gave the illusion of warmth.

As you can tell, I am sick of the cold weather. As a kid of South Africa I was SO EXCITED for my first real winters moving here. I had never bought a real coat before, let alone thermal gloves and snow boots. And I never thought I would say this but, take back the snow and give me the sun! My bestie Alina wrote a hilarious recap on why winter sucks, read it here.

*Also, sidenote: At fashion week, while waiting in line for a show I overheard 2 bloggers with pretty big followings discussing how they could “never” wear an item of clothing, pair of shoes or accessory twice on their blog (Unless Valentino or Celine, duh). I see what they are saying, and bloggers these days get a lot of free and sponsored items so I am sure it isn’t even that difficult. But isn’t that a bit silly, and taking away from the fact that their blogs are meant to showcase their true personal everyday style. Real people wear things wear things more than once. Anyway, just asking what people really think about this? Does anyone care?
