Hello, strangers. If I've been a little MIA lately, it's because the 7 degree weather is making it very difficult to dress cute and take photos. Luckily, I have one set of photos left from California and I just ordered some fleece lined tights. Skirts and dresses, how I've missed you.
I got this dress is a swap over the summer, but it was so thick that I couldn't wear it until now. I love the long sleeves and the unique print, I wish I would have dug it out of my closet sooner. I'm also debuting my leather jacket, an item I've had for a year or so, but have never managed to get on the blog. I love pairing it over feminine dresses and I especially love that it's something slightly different for me.
Has anyone taken advantage of Modcloth's Cabin Fever sale yet? I did yesterday and while I'm in love with the items I bought, it marked the start of my shopping ban. I'm serious this time, really. That being said, I can't wait to share my new purchases!
Hope everyone had a lovely day off yesterday!
Dress: Modcloth (swap)
Jacket: Buffalo Exchange
Shoes: Modcloth
Belt: Thrifted
Necklace: Jewelmint
Clutch: Asos
I love the leather jacket! I need to bring mine to school with me!
ReplyDeleteI got a pretty turquoise coat and a peplum dress at the sale(inspired by the bunny peplum I borrowed from you)!

Ha, sounds like you and I both are in the same boat when it comes to starting a shopping ban! I just bought some American Eagle jeans (free shipping AND clearance markdowns? GAH!) and then I found other stuff when I went out with my friend...ugh, its a problem.
ReplyDeleteGotta buckle down and use what we already have, huh?
Anyway, I love this new look Elana! The leather vest adds the perfect touch of edge to that dress.

Love the feminine dress paired with that jacket! Such a great combo. And Elana, you are genius for ordering fleece lined tights. After 22 years in Minnesota, you would think I would have figured out that they sell those things by now! Nope, I had no idea. Oh well. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteIt's minus 14 over where I live! Talk about difficult conditions for photo shoots. I find that some leggings are just as warm as pants so I still wear my dresses and skirts. I love the idea of layering leather over feminine dresses - I think you look great in leather :)

Ugh, it is no fun taking pictures in the cold so I don't blame you! This is just a really fun and cool pairing with the dress and the leather jacket here. the dress looks so sweet and proper and the leather jacket adds a little unexpected edge to it. And oh WOW! That necklace! that has to be one of the coolest pieces of jewelry every, it's a little clock set into a crystal! (Well, I think it's a clock but it sort of looks like a compas now. either way, it's completely awesome and unusual.)
ReplyDeleteEvery time I come to your blog you are more and more adorable! I just love this whole combo!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
Sara
Love the pattern of your dress - so cute!

Oh, that dress is just darling! The print is so, as you say, unique and cute. Plus it looks warm.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about Modcloth. I made several purchases with that sale and, while excited to see the purchases, will probably not be buying much for awhile!
Ooh I love this look! It's so cool :D
ReplyDeleteAnd yea, it has been sooo cold! I do not like it! Ha ha

this dress is stunning on you! The whole outfit is amazing, i love the biker jacket with it! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis dress is so freakin' cute! I know, that Cabin Fever sale didn't come at the best time, but I indulged too! It's too freezing for photos that's for sure. I'm scared to take pictures tomorrow. It's going to be a cold one.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is adorable! I love the long sleeves - those are my favorite lately, because like you, I'm dealing with absurdly cold temperatures. Also, your leather jacket looks amazing on you
ReplyDeleteStay warm!
xoxo,

I absolutely adore those shoes! And I definitely took advantage of the Modcloth sale! I honestly think that I should start a shopping ban now too! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI am really jealous of this dress. Terribly so. It's adorable beyond belief on you ad does look warm. I love thick, warm knits in the winter!
