Animal

(hat Obey, dress, denim button-up and combat boots thifted, feather necklace Forever21)


ME: "Jane what pops out to you in this outfit? The hat? Dress? or the denim button-up?
JANE: "I don't know you have a lot going on!"
There are times when I do have so much going on and I rethink my outfit when getting dressed to go out or when getting ready to go to work. The mood I'm in tends to reflect my outfit or what I have been inspired by. I've super been into animal prints lately. Channeling the inner animal in me?!?



an·i·mal:
-pertaining to the physical, sensual, or carnal nature of humans, rather than their spiritual or intellectual nature: animal needs
-an inhuman person; brutish or beastlike person
-any such living thing other than a human being

In Jo's world of shoes all I can dream about is my must-have of the clogs. I can finally trade in my variety of black leather boots for the wooden footsie goodness. It is the perfect shoe transition for spring. Karl Lagerfield debut's his clogs at the Chanel spring/summer 2010 collection, showcasing the clogs with blazers, trousers, and pale colored dresses. Who would of thought that the clogs would make a comeback?! Some may think ugly, I think another shoe genius idea! If only I could afford a pair. Purchasing these babies and it would be farewell paycheck! One day I'll be known as the girl with the uncountable number of shoes including her Jeffrey Campbell clogs, but until then I'll be known as the girl who sold her soul to shoes. The clogs can be extremely versatile as you can see MK wearing her clogs opting for a more laid-back look, running errands looking fashionable. Alexa Chung dresses up her Chanel clogs wearing tights and a dress. Whereas Fashiontoast blogger Rumi Neeley pairs her brown studded Miu Miu's with a light fitting, white dress. Here are my three favorite, different styles of clogs. Jeffrey Campbell's Charlie clogs has a buckle that can also sling back behind your foot. One shoe = many possibilities!

Indian Rug

For some reason the embroidery/ prints of these jackets and Alexa's dress remind me of an Indian Rug. I'm loving the velvet touch! These jackets make such a bold statement to an outfit, give your blazers a rest and throw on an Indian rug inspired jacket for that exotic look. Dress it up with a gown paired with sky high heels or pumps, or dress it down with a plain T-shirt, jeans and your rugged dirty Chuck Taylors. I bought a black velvet jacket from my local thrift store embellished with crazy prints. I'm waiting for an appropriate occasion so I can wear since it has been sitting in my jungle of a closet for months now.
