what i wore

i promise i didn't intend to leave a what i wore post up for a week and then not blog for a week and then come back with another style post.

but here i am.

doing just that.

y'all probably know that i am all about casual, comfortable outfits that are (fairly) simple yet look (i hope!) pulled together with fun accessories.

case in point: sunday's simple basics with a statement necklace. easy peasy.

cowl necked top: stitchfix

skirt: stein mart

denim jacket: nordstrom

leopard flats: payless

statement necklace: nordstrom

kendra scott bangles: nordstrom & nm last call

remember: leopard is a neutral.

really.

it is.

try it.

okay, i don't know what possessed me to not only try to rock gingham and pigtails and a half tuck all on the same day.

but there you have it.

i tried.

and?

just call me ellie mae.

if the weather had been cooler, (curse you, fake fall in texas!) i would have added a scarf or my army vest, or both. i think it needed something around the neckline to break up some of that gingham.

shirt: gap

jeans: macy's

chucks: academy (everyone needs at least one pair of chucks, you just do)

orange belt: target

leather cuff: farmgirl paints

watch: michael kors

remember how i told y'all last week i was all verklempt about booties? yeah. i still am.

except now i'm down with the fringe.

because life is too short not to wear fringe.

slouchy t: free people, nordstrom (on sale!)

jeans: macy's (yep, a repeat, hush)

cuff: farmgirl paints

ring: twisted silver

necklace: twisted silver

bronze hoops: stella & dot

fringe ankle boots: sam edelman, nm last call (on sale & and  an extra 40%off!)

{yikes! i really need to get my hairs touched up muy pronto!}

i can't explain my sudden infatuation with fringe, it's like really out of the fashion comfort box for me, but i love these boots! they're a strange mix of boho, western and sassy funk and i predict i will be wearing them a lot. but don't fret, i don't think i'll be sporting a leather fringed jacket anytime soon.

i had forgotten that my mom had a pair of fringe booties back in the day (the day being somewhere late 60s early 70s), more like a moccasin bootie, but with conchos on the side like these, so maybe i'm channelling a bit of her.

don't tell anyone, but i've had my eye (both, actually) on a pair of those minnetonka layered (either three or five layer fringe boots (they're higher, like real boots but a moccasin sole) but can't quite pull the trigger on them yet.

would you wear fringe? do you already? do tell...

happy wednesday, y'all!
