black and whites

Jacket & shirt: Lulu's. Snake bite leggings: Spanish Moss. Leggings also here. Boots: Frye. Bra: Urban Outfitters. Clutch: Zara. Men's fedora & black poison holder ring: Trash & Vaudeville. Skull ring: Street vendor (I really like this crowned version though).
***
So close I can smeeeeeell it!! (Spring that is). Clocks go forward apparently in a few days - about time. For now though you still need a jacket and at LEAST a good warm scarf.
***
I think the shirt is now one of my favourites. It's loose, sheer, strategically ventilated and cut lower at the back. Reminds me of a poet shirt. The leggings you know from this post.
***
EDITED TO ADD: Use code WDUGT to get 15% off off all purchases at Lulu's.com. Valid till March 12th.
***
You lot know I love my clutches (still love this blue vintage one), so I caved on a sleeker version by Zara. I'm thinking the optional strap makes it a bit more functional if you MUST be hands free. Would LOVE to find a large clutch in a bright colour though. Like a kelly green or cobalt blue. Anyone seen good ones? send me links please!

  46. Love, love, love the outfit, how do you do it?!
    Adore the leggings and really love the shirt and boots!
    About the clutch, I had a look around a couple of online shops, and the best I could find was a bright blue (I tried to find Cobalt, but no luck!)one from target, it's not that big, but it's only $15, so a bargain.
    Hope this helps. :)

    You are a risk taker where it actually makes sense...alot of the "risk taking" I see sometimes just doesn't work...but you know how to do that! Love it!
