Here are a few things i hope you own or at least suggest you acquire in the near future--because, well, they're just perfect staple pieces.
1. a well-tailored trench coat
2. leopard print shoes and/or belt
A trench just makes any outfit sophisticated, ladylike, and structured.
Wouldn't you agree?
Leopard print has earned itself a 'tacky' label in the past, and it still can be terribly tacky if down wrong or in abundance, but when done right it can really add such a pretty texture to an outfit.
It's one of my favorite prints to play with. I've been looking for the perfect pair for some time--but after seeing the j.crew etta's i thought i was spoiled for life...not that i would ever pay that much for a pair of shoes, but i just knew i wouldn't be satisfied with anything less jaw-dropping.
well, what to my surprise, when i found these beauties for only $29 at target. They're almost identical and less than 1/10th the price! it was love at first sight, even marcus told me to put them immediately in the cart. i did not contest.

I need a trench, specially since I lost my black one in China last month :(((( but I'm still so scared of the leopard print! I don't think I have anything with it.
I think my basic piece is a black bag because it goes with almost everything. and a good pair of jeans which I also need urgently.
that's hilarious! i've never even seen that show, but you're right! good eye :)
love!
muchos gracias!
no tights, it's chilly here, but not too bad--i didn't have to be outside very much that day either, so that helped. good luck finding the shoes!
ah man, losing clothes is the worst. and you're right a good pair of jeans is probably the most staple of staples in a wardrobe! i have some pretty good jeans, but i'm still on the hunt fot the perfect ones!
as far as leopard, i think you'd look great in it! just start with a skinny belt, so it's just a tiny dash of sass for your outfit! good luck cute girl
This is off topic, but what ever happened to busybeelauren??
oh i love it! i need those shoes. i haven't gone clothes shopping in so long and it's about time!
