Design and Style
I didn’t think I had any interest in fringe (with a few playful costumey exceptions) but this skirt has me seriously reconsidering. It has completely won me over.

This is from Ermanno Scervino’s Spring Summer 2012 RTW collection, which is well worth a browse. Lovely silhouettes and a soft, romantic (creamy lace, muted pastels) color palette. Gorgeous wrap belts echoed in the wrapped ankle straps of the sandals. I like.
A few highlights:

I hit ’em high, hit ’em high, hit ’em high
Hooooops.
These are incredibly comfortable jeans. Pseudo-jean legging things. I don’t uniformly love a high waist (not every time, not in every context), but I really like these. At one point I was going on about back pockets and proportions, and these pockets are, to me, a great size. (I also really like these jeans pocket-wise, the pockets of which are even more square). Larger back pockets, if anything, make my ass look bigger, more generous—as does a high waist—, which I like. Small back pockets do not make it look any smaller (no one is fooled by this ploy), which I don’t want anyway*, and they look immature and useless besides.
*I want it to look…not small. Like, a handful. I have no time for jeans that are not on board with this goal.
Express Stella high waist leggings, Eric Michael boots, Urban Outfitters plaid shirt, Banana Republic trench (thrifted), necklace via asos, J Crew belt, Mulberry bag (thrifted), Fossil watch. On the lips: Milani lipstick in Naturally Pink, much blotted and with Smith’s Rosebud Salve over top. On the cheeks: Michael Kors bronzer and Tom Ford blush in Love Lust, which will tell you about soon. It’s gorgeous, just a bit more muted/sophisticated than the (otherwise very similar) Japonesque blush I like so much.
I’ve been wearing my hair down more, too. Not as inconvenient as I was remembering. Hm. Don’t faces look totally different at 10′ vs 2′ away? The whole architecture of the face seems to change.
