Inspiration for today's outfit was shamelessly stolen from Miss Woo of Cheapskate Chic. I love the line of faux-leather jackets that H&M has been producing for the last year. I remember the first faux jacket I bought back in the nineties - it was so stiff and it squeaked everytime I moved or bent my arms. We've come a long way baby!
As much as I love the girly, floral looks that are present on the runway, I'm also partial to the grunge and punk inspired looks. Fashion is truly cyclical and after all the eighties throw-back looks in the past few year, it's only natural for grunge to be the next big thing to come back. Being a teen of the nineties myself I think I'm predisposed to loving these looks.
I rifled through my closet to see what I could come up with to put together an Alexander Wang inspired outfit and this is what I came up with. Also, my new boots from UO arrived yesterday and I couldn't be happier with them. I don't usually wear heels at all but these are super comfy and easy to walk in. I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of them.
I ventured out into the cold today to check out another Goodwill store in the area. I was hoping to come home with bags of clothes for the store and maybe a find or two for myself. The Goodwill is located close to the outlet malls right outside of town and they must have some sort of deal worked out with them. The store was mostly populated with Gap and Banana Republic cast offs from two seasons ago. That's great for some people, but not exactly what I was looking for. I even came up empty handed in the discount bin section. The only thing I ended up buying was this pair of brown leather oxfords. They are in my size, but I think they'll end up in the store as the last thing I need is another pair of shoes!
