Leather and Chains

Sweater: BCBGMAXAZRIA (here) ** Shorts: Buffalo by David Bitton (old) (love these) ** Shoes: Burberry (old) (kind of in love with these) ** Jewelry: BCBG (here), Vince Camuto, Anne Klein ** Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs


I like how I said on Monday that I try to steer clear of wearing shorts, and in 2 of my 3 posts this week I'm wearing shorts.  I promise it doesn't happen often, I just couldn't help myself! Who doesn't want to pair a chunky knit sweater with a little bit of leather?! (I think they are actually 'pleather' but shhhh, we don't have to tell anyone!  Anyways, I think my favorite part of this outfit is the shoes.  I don't get to wear them often and when I do, I feel so powerful! They also make me feel like a giant because I'm pretty sure I'm 6'2" when I wear them, but that's besides the point!

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

  4. Ellyse! I LOVE your blog. I actually found it through Mini Me Style copying your look.

    This outfit is great... Leather (or pleather, it's good- both are good) and chunky knits are a BIG score in my book. And I think you should sport shorts as much as you can. Some of us (eh hem) are stuck with short legs... Rock em all day long, sister!

    I look forward to keeping up with your blog! Hope you're having a fantastic weekend!
