{For Fashion's Sake} Saturday: Week Trench

1.01.2011


You need to own a trench. 
Not only because Say Anything is my favorite movie or because John Cusack is my idol
but because it's a classic, meaning, it's a timeless piece.
 When has the trench not been fashionable? 
Never. The answer is never. 
Buy yourself a good-fitting trench and love me forever.
Please excuse the mess...those are the scraps from Marcus's Mad Hatter Costume.

The Breakdown:
Nerd Glasses: Forever21 $6
Grey Gingham Button-Up: J.Crew Sale Rack $30
Three-Strand Necklace: Forever21 $6
Braided Leather Belt: Thrifted $1
Navy Pencil Skirt: (Jones of New York) Thrifted (and altered) $4
Mustard Tights: Anthropologie Friends & Family Sale $12
Leather RocketDog Mary-Janes: Nordstroms $Gift
Green Trench: H&M $50

Happy New Year! 
Did you get a New Years Kiss??? 
Or Do Anything Else Exciting?

I just bought myself a belt similar to that one YESTERDAY! It was €1.5 and not very good quality but I think it will work as well :)

Yes on the kiss. Then I told my boyfriend he didn't kiss me long enough. Then he pulled out his droid and wrote "stop failing" on his to-do list. oh, it is love!

I love all of your outfits! I wish I had a fashion sense.

Stunning you are Ashley! Sadly, no one has offered a New Years kiss in a very long time (sad). Perhaps 2011 will be the year of new-found love? One can always hope!
