Cat Saturday

It was cold again today... No surprise there. I didn't feel like wearing a pea coat or a Barbour jacket again, so I slipped on this Vince sweater. It is nice and thick black wool, and then it shocks you with black leather sleeves, which gives it an unexpectedly glam vibe. The tshirt is silk leopard print from Equipment. I love the idea of silk tshirts - it's such a great juxtaposition. Plus I have such a weakness for leopard print! Speaking of juxtaposition, pairing two rock and roll pieces with simple skinny jeans was an interesting combination. Three classic elements - leather, leopard, and denim - coming together to make a fun and casual weekend look. 

My bronze metallic Tory Burch flats were a good middle point between the black of the jacket and the tans of the leopard. Plus, they're such a good basic flat that are simple enough not to compete with such loud pieces. 

Until next time,

Jacket: Joie (old); Dress: Nanette Lepore; Shoes: Chanel; Bag: Kate Spade; Glasses: Jimmy Choo

Today I went on a birthday shopping trip with my mom in San Francisco. It was so much fun! 

Weather in San Francisco requires lots of layering. Today it was foggy in the morning and lovely as the fig burned off. So I paired my SF-approved leather jacket with this Nanette Lepore snake print dress I bought specifically for this shopping trip. Perfect! 

I paired it with these classic flats so they wouldn't compete with the wild pattern of the dress. 

Earrings: Chanel - from a store in North Carolina called Monkee's.  I miss that place so much!

I also accidentally wore my Chanel earrings with it, not realizing that it was a little overboard. Oops!  But I love them because they are actually vintage buttons turned into earrings. Adorable! 

Until next time,
