Today I wear H&M Color Blocked Shoes and Forever 21 Mint Denim … an 80s / 90s fusion.

A Camera Can Be a Dangerous Thing …
in the hands of the untrained. I’m all for experimenting (in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever used the same camera settings twice), but sometimes you just don’t get what you envision. With a whole lot of very bad photos to deal with, I attempted to go all artsy for this post. Please be kind. 
Outfit 1:
Top: Clu
Skirt: YSL
Shoes: Alexander McQueen
Outfit 2:
Sweater: Anthropologie
Pants: Target
Booties: Alexander Wang
I had several accessories to show you in both sets of photos, but those pictures couldn’t be saved … at all. I expect I’ll reshoot these outfits at a later date, with more tried and true camera settings.
Thanks for reading. More soon. — Carole

Outside The Rain and A New Bangle From Lushae Jewelry
It’s the rainy season here (our version of winter) so I brought today’s shoot inside. Even though the quality of my outdoor photos isn’t as good as my indoor photos, in general, I enjoy shooting more outside. So until the sun returns, I’ll be shooting indoors. *sigh*
I want to show you a couple of things today. First up is a quilted, leather jacket from Phoebe’s last season at Chloe. This is the first time I’ve worn it, despite having it for such a long time. With the dismal weather, I felt like a little nod to spring would be cheerful and since it’s heavy weight leather, it’s warm too.
Here you can see the quilting and the Trapunto stitching on the collar …
Here’s the second item I want to show you today. The leather jacket may not have been able to make me smile, but this next item certainly does.
Every now and then, I am asked to provide a product review; this is the first time I have accepted. When the kind folks at Lushae Jewelry contacted me, I took a look around their online store and was bowled over with all of the lovely pieces. I feel like the Lushae aesthetic is very similar to mine. With that in mind, it was challenging to choose only one piece, but finally I decided that I couldn’t live without this gorgeous Spotted Goldtone Bangle available here. Not only did I love so many of the bangles, I thought the promise rings were so, so pretty too.
The bangle is a perfect weight — not too heavy, not too light. I’m crazy about its spotted design too. I see wearing this a lot in my future.
Thank you again, Lushae Jewelry, for a stellar product and exceptional customer service.
Jacket and top: Chloe

Double Denim
They say a person shouldn’t repeat a trend when it’s already passed through your life once before. Since it wasn’t that long ago that denim on denim was all the rage (late 90s, as I recall), I fearlessly repeat myself.
I guess I cheated a little with my double denim look because this top is really a faux denim …
One of my latest H&M acquisitions is this denim pencil skirt. I’ve been looking forever for a decent denim pencil skirt. I’m so thrilled to finally have this …
top: Target, skirt: H&M, pin: Marni, tights: Target, booties: Alexander Wang Constance booties
See you soon. — Carole

Alexander Wang Wrap Sweater
I first saw this sweater at Nordstrom a while ago, but since I had a Saks gift card, I pre-ordered from them. The sweater arrived a few (maybe three?) weeks ago and I wear it here for the first time …
I also saw this sweater on shopbop and thought the styling so nearly perfect, I borrowed quite heavily. I don’t do that often (almost never, actually), but at least I admit when I do. 
I still love the idea of warm and cool tones together, so I chose gold-toned metal to play against the steely gray of the sweater …
I like this sweater a lot, but sadly, it looks much better on a tall, long-torsoed girl. That’s not going to stop me from enjoying it though.
sweater: Alexander Wang, petal skirt: Moschino Cheap and Chic, thigh-high socks: Target, booties: YSL, necklace and bracelet: f21
Thanks for reading. — Carole
