Outfit Of The Day (Etsy Loves)

Tags: , , , ,




Just a quick update for today. I am always clickity-clicking on Etsy and I became slightly obsessed with a shop called "This Ilk" after spying the red-headed model in one of my random searches. Even though I am pretty much blonde again, I often seem to forget and always find myself still oogling things on red-headed models.  Ol' Red on Shopbop is a dangerous, dangerous little (tall and statuesque, like a unicorn) minx.  A...minxi-corn? Meow!

After a little bit more looking around I finally decided to grab this necklace.  I do love blouses and tops with girly, frilly collars, so why not have something in my arsenal that can instantly transform darn near any plain top into something sweet and lovely and fun? Ding, ding, ding--sold!

It has been well worth it, as it pairs prettily over both knit tees and simple tank tops. I especially love it paired with a bit of rough'n'tumble leather to toughen it up a bit, mmhm:

Tank Top: American Eagle Outfitters (similar style here) (and here) (and here)
Belt: Banana Republic (buy it here) (similar style here, on sale!)
Shoes: Mossimo Target (similar style here) (and here at DSW) (and here for $24.99)
Necklace: This Ilk on Etsy (buy it here) (similar style here)

    Wow, that necklace is really something special; it looks like it's just part of your shirt. Great find!

    I just splurged on a beautiful metalworked necklace by Sandra at Miss November Studio. It's a pendant with an elephant balancing on a ball, here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/57795440/circus-sideshow-necklace-elephant

    That is truly a one-of-a-kind necklace, and it works beautifully on you, Chloe. I really look forward to seeing more of your outfits with it.

    I love the belt too. I notice you have many belts of this brown/tan color. Is it related to your hair color at all? For example, I have black hair (I'm Asian), can I still use the same belt with different outfits with great flexibility like you do? I'm trying to collect some more belts to my almost non-existent current collection...

    Thanks Chloe!
