i posted awhile ago about my love of wearing fur at times that don’t make sense- in the summer, in the day time, etc. in this outfit i’ve extended the same idea to sequins- i got this skirt recently and want to wear it all the time, so it’s fun to figure out ways to make it casual (in this case, with a tee and flats).

the outfit is somewhat inspired by ms. rachel zoe. over the weekend i finally watched my 1st episode of ‘the rachel zoe project’, and was instantly hooked- i downloaded all of season 1 and watched the whole thing. it is hilarious! i didn’t think i’d like rachel zoe but actually i adore her. one of my favorite moments from the season is when a designer tries a fur vest on her, telling her ‘it’s so light- you’ll feel nothing’, and she responds ‘i feel nothing? i feel EVERYTHING’. it was so over-the-top i couldn’t help but love her.

i went to soho yesterday for some lunch and shopping with friends, and we noticed furry things everywhere- from vests and jackets at opening ceremony, to a fur-collared sweater at h&m. looks like it’ll be a big trend for fall. lucky i’ve had this little number sitting around since high school, when i bought it at the thrift store during one of my Grey Gardens phases- i think stuff like this is much harder to find on the cheap in NYC.

since it was a little cooler this past weekend, i got to bring out some of my closed-toe shoes. this is one of my favorite loeffler randall pairs- the gold tone is very bright. and i thought my lanvin bag went well with them.
