What I'm Wearing
Scarf (worn as headwrap): F21 | Earrings, Ring & Necklace: ALDO | Bracelets: ICING
Denim Blouse: H&M
Mustard Skater Dress: CR
Leopard Belt: Talbots
Cable Knit Tights: H&M
Brown Leather Riding Boots: Matisse Footwear (my sister's closet)

I stepped way outside the box with this outfit. It isn't something I'd normally wear, but I decided to go for it anyway. A jersey dress as a jumper? Not my usual cup of tea--I was afraid the denim shirt would show too much underneath the dress...and I didn't feel the normal glow that I usually feel once I've put on an entire outfit. Maybe it just wasn't my day..but I decided to shoot and put the outfit up anyway to get a general feel of what you all think.

Is this a different look for me than what you're used to? Is it right in line with my "style"? Would you wear an outfit like this?

What I'm Wearing
Scarf (worn as headwrap): old | Earrings, Bracelet, & Ring: ALDO | Necklace: CR
Patchwork Blazer/Jacket: thrifted
Cheetah Print Top: River Island
Leather Shorts: H&M
Tights: old (can you see the runs in them!? I wore two to attempt at hiding them!)
Shoes: CR

Why lucky? Here's the story:

I went thrifting on a budget with a friend of mine about a year ago, and I came across this jacket and the dress I wore last Valentine's Day. The jacket and the dress were both way more expensive than I planned to spend on any single item, but when I think about it now, they were crazy inexpensive. The dress was just $7.50 and the jacket was $8, I believe. I just wasn't planning to spend more than four or five dollars on any single item. And, if it weren't for my friend, I would've missed out!

What I'm Wearing
Leopard Scarf (worn as head wrap): H&M | Clip-On Earrings: thrifted | Necklace: ALDO
Wool Blazer: thrifted
Camel Sweater: H&M
Denim Blouse: H&M
Jeans: AEO
Combat Boots: CR

I definitely went for the kill with the combinations I chose with this outfit. I, honestly, was just trying to stay warm because the weather has been so evil lately. I love fall just like the next fashion blogger, but some days, I really can't win! I usually start my days around 8 am, and, at that time, it's usually around 45 degrees Fahrenheit! Yea..BURR! Howeverrrrr, the temperature spikes to an unforgiving 74 degrees by 3 pm and I'm sweating bullets! And, you guessed it, on this day...I was sweating the shell casings of an AK-47.

But, my high school track coach told me, "Ladies don't sweat. They glisten."

So, I say, glisten on Chocolate Laced. Glisten. On.

What I'm Wearing
White Sunnies: Five Below ($4) | Black Sunnies: (temporarily borrowed from Denzel)
Clip-on Earrings: thrifted | Bracelets: ALDO | Necklace: Wet Seal
Giraffe Pin: gift from Mom
Teal Blazer: thrifted
Striped Top: Club Monaco thrifted
High Waisted Shorts: thrifted DIY
Striped Tights: River Island | Blue Tights: HUE
Black Oxfords: Big Buddha

I am a huge fan of 80's & 90's fashion trends. From the "dare-I-wear-this" prints and the high waisted mom jeans to the combat boots, shoulder pads, and retro windbreakers. I love it all. So every once in a while...and by "once in a while" I really mean "week"...I pay tribute to the decades of fashion that stole my heart.

This week, I turned a pair of high waisted mom jeans into some shorts, I dared to wear bright blue tights underneath a vertical striped pair, I brought out my [sister's] leather fossil bag (because who does vintage better than Fossil?), I fully equipped my shoulders with shoulder pads (just in case someone needed to "Lean On Me*"), and I rocked my vintage-esque sunnies (which seem to change color in the post, but, don't be fooled. I just borrowed Denzel's because they fit my outfit better. Hehe).

It's so hard to choose my favorite part of 80's & 90's fashion, because there was so much to love! Decades of fashion, this has been an appreciation post from someone who loves you immensely.

What is your favorite 80's and/or 90's trend?

*Lean On Me is a GREAT movie for 80's/90's fashion inspiration and just a great movie all together!
