I decided to do the MOD uniform today; scruffy shorts, over-sized tee, blazer and chunky shoes. Ideally I would have on some kick-*** motorcycle boots but seeing as I have none of those and adore my Franco heels I decided an improvisation was ok! I get why this is such a big look, it's so comfy but you still look like you tried, and isn't that the best?
One of my favorite parts of this outfit though is the adorable key necklace that I won from Amanda at A.Co est. 1984 blog (such an awesome fellow fashion blogger!). She makes the coolest necklaces and I was giddy when I found out I'd won one! Anyone who knows me IRL knows that I love odd antique-ish things on my necklaces (coins, elephants, manta-rays, and especially keys!). So you can just imagine how much use I'm going to get out of this little dude!

Lovely: NOT killing your garden yet!! I know this seems silly, but I've never had a garden and I'm terrible at watering things! I've found myself staring out my window just looking at the lovely little green things growing in my pots and planters... I'm a proud momma bear!

Say "Hi!" to my Tiny Tom plant!

Beautiful key necklace!
ReplyDeleteI have such a weak spot for key necklaces...
The whole outfit does really look great on you! You pull off the effortlessly chic look,well EFFORTLESSLY!
P.S. Great shoes, too ;)
I love the way you mixed and matched these closet staples. Is that the blazer you were wearing when we went for coffee? It's so perfect!!! I can't believe you thrifted it. You obviously need to show me where you shop!! You just look so effortlessly cool. And the necklace is stellar. xx
ReplyDeleteA nice relaxed yet modern look. Love the heels
ReplyDeleteBasics are the best. Awesome shoes.
ReplyDeleteI so get the plant thing. I'm trying to grow tomatoes and I'm crazy about them. I'm always wondering if I should water them or not. I love the cute casual outfit. I have no idea what MOD is, but I think I might copy the style. You're super adorable!
ReplyDeletegreat balance between sophistication and casualness!! the shorts and blazer always seem to me as a great combination!! cute necklace too! :D
