i remember when

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell. Men's elbow patch blazer: Consignment. Dress: H&M (thrifted). Bag: Thrift (DIY studded). Nails: Sally Hansen High Defnition
That's it. I'm so done with this effing cold. Thank God I got a lift to and from the train station.
I remember way back when I wore these wood platforms on a balmy sunny day in the west village....screen goes all wavy as we step back in time when you click here.
Heck I'll go one step further and do a split pic since I noticed I was on a step then too. Talk about making me feel the bloody difference between then and now.
I doubled up on the tights (keeps legs warmer and makes the tights blacker) and wore a beanie hat (in the bag). I ended up donning a polo neck too.
I know you lot must be as fed up. Anyone in warmer temps don't answer or I'll only get jealous ;-)

  3. Unless you think 50's is warm? I'm sick of this, too! It feels like Winter last forever and Spring/Summer only a few months the way the time drags this time of year.

  37. I love your shoes! I remember you posting about your love for Jeffrey Campbell shoes so I thought I would give you a huge tip. If you are ever in the Los Angeles area syou should visit Top Shoes in the Westwood neighborhood. I recently purchased the sister version of your wooden platforms in teh silver leather version for only $30.

    Thanks for giving your readers the tip about Jeffrey Campbell, these are my new favorite shoes!

    ReplyDelete

  38. You look adorable! I love your leopard platforms--with both outfits. I feel your pain about the cold too; I live outside of DC. We have 34 inches of snow on the ground from this weekend, and we're getting 10-20 MORE tonight. Urgh. Nothing but snowpants, snowboots, leggings and layers for me... and lots of shoveling :-/

    Love your blog~

  51. This one time, my knees met the sun... that was a long time ago. I'm having a hard time dressing now when all I want to wear is a short dress and some bare legs.
    You layered up nice... I love the socks, the skirt and the platforms. The cold doesn't hold you down.

    ReplyDelete

  52. You are soooo crazy wicked at layering! I think you've mastered it!! I can agree with you how cold it is.. I think it might be even colder where I am, even more north!!!
    I love how versatile you have made leopard wooden platforms... it sounds crazy but you have definitely made them work with so many different outfits!!

    Take a look at my blog, I just started it :)
