Acid Green

Thifted print pants, H&M faux leather top, faux fur and Frye boots.

Sunday, January 16th, 2011.

Litmus test

There is an acidity to these pants that should repulse me but somehow ,in the grand scheme of things, its works. It is as if the more acidic the colour, the better in the litmus test that is my opinion.

Second skin

There are faux leather tops and there are faux leather tops. Usually the latter is more memorable and better executed. I like to think this H&M faux leather top belongs to the latter. There is a permanent crease to it that I find interesting. Today I was in the mood for the pairing of its laser like simplicity set against the print green pants.

Shag Pile

The older I get, the stronger my love affair with texture gets. I like the contrast of the graduating faux fur haired jacket against both the faux leather top and the pants.

    I love your earrings, Marian! Where might someone score a (similar) pair, if you know?

    Hi Megan, thank you for your comment. My ear cuffs are a mix of thrift finds, vintage and market stall finds that I stumble on during my adventures.
    I would say try ebay, etsy and any jewellery fairs.
    All the best with your hunt! Do let me know how you get on.
    xoxo

    Outfit notwithstanding, your bone structure is amazing and that orange lipstick seems to bring that out. Fabulous look.
