Borrowed

I give myself permission to feel good right now.

I told Shea I was going to borrow her look as soon as enough of the snow melted so I could wear my suede boots again (one of these days I'll actually get around to applying the suede protectant I bought months ago).

This dark moody floral, especially paired with black and red has more fall vibes than spring, but since it feels more winter than spring right now, I think it works. Hopefully winter will release us from its grasp soon!

  1. I'm all for muted and moody florals so I'm totally into this...not to mention the fact that those boots are just straight up awesome.

  3. I do think that "spring" is the time we all think of florals--be it dark, light or anything in between!! I love that you & Shea have the same top!!

  4. The fact that you need to use protectant spray is basically 100% of the reason that I try as much as I can to avoid buying suede shoes - no one has time for that! Theses boots are lovely, though, and I think what I love about them is as much what I love about the whole look; that it is versatile enough to work for fall or spring, with the combinations of florals and dark but vibrant shades. I'm interested in seeing Shea's version as well, so I'm clicking over!

  9. You know how I like that top and the idea of pairing it with the bag is perfect, it makes the bright color stand out even more. Bright is what you need right now ;)

  15. Aw hey thanks for the shout-out friend! I love this on you--I especially love how the red bag makes the red in the top really stand out. That's one of my favorite things about this top, all the fun colors you can work with!
