This post comes to you in two parts
1. An interview I did with Seventeen magazine is up today on their awesome style blog!
'tis all here, my lovelies:
http://www.seventeen.com/fashion/special/style-blog/claire-geist-faboo-blog
2.Yes, we all know it. The Balmain sparkly mini dress/blazer/boot look was EVERYWHERE this year (after seeing the embellished heels from Spring 2009 duplicated at a Journey's store, I gave an exasperated sigh)
my thoughts on this look range between "alright, enough already!" and "This is too fun!"
So the other day I played with my own inspiration...I whipped out this little number that has been hanging in the back of my closet for some time now....
this dress came out of a hole-in-the-wall vintage shop in the East Village over the summer. Luckily for me, when I found it, I noticed it had no price tag and I just held it up to the groovy cashier dude & after a shrug and $20, it was mine. SCORE!!
I also gave the look a shot with pink socks & ankle boots
is it just me, or do i look like I'm about to sneeze?
Tube Dress-Vintage
Knotted Tee-Cheap Monday
Denim Vest-Gap (thrifted)
Blazer-Thrifted
Docs-Thrifted
Ankle Boots-We Who See
after a while it got pretty warm out...
Oh,Claire, you're so lame
have an awesome tuesday, everyone!
SO GORGEOUS in every way
