What I wore:
Jacket: ModCloth (find it here)
Dress: ModCloth (find it here)
Hat: Brixton (Chris's)
Boots: Jeffrey Campbell "Rumi"
Bracelet: from high school
Ring c/o Lulu's
Necklace: Crompton Collective- gift from Punky
Bag: Vintage Coach/ Avalon ($20)
Where I wore it: To see John Waters last Friday
The weather in these photos could not be any more different than yesterday. Yesterday was so beautiful, sunny, dry, and in the 60's- the perfect spring preview- this particular day was windy and brutal. We rushed through outfit photos in favor of our running car with the heat at full blast. I know everyone is saying it, but I can't wait for: A) it to stay light out past 6:30 so we can take photos in the evening and B) a little warmth. I feel as though I've been especially tolerant of winter this year, I'm ready for warmer weather. I'm sick of hibernating.
This outfit has been one of my go-to's, perfect- in particular- for a day spent at the office and then an evening with John Waters, my favorite director. I know there's a great divide of opinions when it comes to his work, but I've always been a fan of anything over the top. For a little something extra, I broke out one of the few things left over from my high school days- this red velvet spiked cuff bracelet- and added this amazing eyeball ring from Lulu's, which reminds me of my middle school binder that was covered in plastic doll eyes and glitter. Sometimes I just like to reminisce.

I am dreaming of Spring and lighter longer days too! I cannot wait. Dressing in brighter colors helps. This dress is beautiful and I love the touch of edge. -Heidi http://fabricandfrosting.blogspot.no/

Omggg this outfit is perfect! You look so amazing with edgy details! <3
Im calling dibs on that jacket, when your over it!
my middle school binder was plastered with bizarre photographs of martin gore, songwriter for depeche mode. sometimes, i look at various notebooks i have for work, and wish so hard that decorating them with new wave pop icons would be acceptable.
i'm loving your dress. looks cozy! and i hope you enjoyed john waters, seeing him live was a real treat for me.
cheers,

You look amazing! I love this outfits -- and the ring is totally killer. There was this old movie theater, either in Palo Alto or Monterey, that I went to to watch indie movies or midnight movies, and they would play this: http://www.openculture.com/2013/01/an_anti_anti-smoking_announcement_from_john_waters_.html before each movie. It was pretty much the best.

I love John Waters. He came to New Orleans a year or two ago for an art exhibit which I stumbled on. I wanted so badly to talk with him but he was surrounded and I never got my chance. His art was great though.
i wish i'd have saved some things from high school, that beanie color is such a classic. love that skirt on you & fun to "spunk" it up w/ the jacket.
