monochrome

Jumper: Street vendor: Thermals (not seen). Tights: Primark. Boots: Courtesy of Aldo. Clutch: Balenciaga (discontinued style). Rings: YSL/gift/Fashionology. Fedora: Trash & Vaudeville
***
Dressed in black and white today to meet friends.
I found this jumper (sweater for US) at a street market on Houston in the city. The label on it was $750 and the seller sold it for $30 (wtf!?!). These Aldos remind me of the ones by Zara posted here but I like the high heel hiker look. I noticed Vogue.com has them on their shopping list too here.
I'm trying to make an effort to start using day clutches more so here goes. Makes a change from a bag when you don't have much.

  9. I love that jumper! It looks expensive so I understand about the tag. Does it have a designer name on the tag? I like how you styled it with the hiking lace up boots too. Happy Halloween Karen! xo

    On a completely unrelated yet funny note, my mum has labeled you "a troublemaker" because in the past week I have ordered three pairs of shoes I have seen you wearing on the blog and they have looked so amazing I decided I HAVE to have them =D

    My feet love you though!

  40. I'm loving this black and white combo, it looks incredibly chic. That jumper looks so comfy and I love its flow.

    I've been having a moment where I want a huge oversized clutch. I bought one last week and hope to get one or two more. I can't wait to carry it on the weekend as an alternative to a regular bag. Your Balenciaga is perfect!
