I picked up these skinny cargos at Forever 21 just a few weeks ago and have been having fun remixing them in a ton of different outfits. As for this belt, just another reason why I love the flea market. Five dollars. Five dollars for the Moschino belt!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Blouse: White silk button front shirt, H&M
Pants: Skinny cargos, Forever 21
Shoes: Nude heels, Aldo
Belt: Moshino statement belt, vintage via the flea market

EDIT: Ha, just realized that the M and the S need to be switched around on this belt. I have a "Woshino" belt. Silly me.

Let's take a poll: So the last time I did anything with my hair was circa 2008, when I took the plunge and chopped these bangs you see now. Of course, this was BB (before my blog) so you guys never witnessed the transformation.

How do we feel about chopping a little Alexa Chung longer bob? I don't know what I would do with the bangs just yet, if I would keep them or grow them out, I'm still trying to envision the whole look of it still.

Show of hands, all in favor, say "I'm a rotten cucumber."

Ha, or just raise your hand. Either way.

Lately, I've been living in these wide-leg jeans, giving my skinny jeans a much needed rest. I actually forgot how much I like a little flare to my pants, especially how they perfectly hide all but a little peek of your heels if long enough.

How are you guys incorporating the wide(r) leg trend? Bell bottoms? Wide leg trousers? Boot cut?

Cardigan: Cream cardigan, vintage (can't remember where I got it)
Jeans: Wide leg jeans, vintage (ditto as above)
Shoes: Oxford wedges, Steve Madden

For all of those of you who helped out yesterday in my earnest search for the elusive canvas Chloe knockoff boot, I finally found them! Several of you lovelies tipped me off to a site that appeared to have been sold out of my size, but my fate with the internet gods turned around when they suddenly had a few size 7s left in stock. So...thank you, thank you, thank you!

As for this skirt, I picked it up over the weekend at a consignment shop. I absolutely love the navajo print of it, it's wool material and the fact that it's not so humid now in the mornings so I can bundle in lots of layers. In fact, I'm having a hard time seeing out my windows right now, the fog is so dense I'll need a spoon to dig my way to the bus stop this morning. (heading to silverware drawer now...)

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Ever this I saw this photo (via Vanessa Jackman) I've been wearing all jackets, blazers and sweaters resting on my shoulders. Isn't it amazing how it can look and feel like an entirely new piece of clothing this way?

For inquiring minds, I worked on my fall WANT list this past weekend and I think I've done pretty well thus far. Picked up this camel blazer you see here at a thrift store (probably will pick up a warmer camel coat later though), a camel beret, a few saddle bags, this leopard print stole (from ModCloth), a wide brim felt fedora hat and a sheer skirt.

My only nemesis: THESE CANVAS WEDGE BOOTS. I had my eye on a pair at a store on Haight Street, only to show up on Saturday to find out they were completely sold out. So I thought, no biggie, I'll find them online. NOPE. Not a single pair online in the color I wanted (tan). Nada. Zilch. Zippo! How can the entire internet be sold out?

Hence, I turn to you, lovelies, consider this my ad on the milk carton for a missing child: "Have you seen these boots? Please contact Krystal at krystal@weardrobe.com."

Thanks guys and I hope everyone has a great week ahead!

In honor of my much awaited paycheck depositing directly into my hot little hands, er, bank account tonight, here are a few things that may or may not be joining me soon as well…

Skirt: Sheer pleated maxi skirt, Acne, $285
Jacket: Camel coat, Opening Ceremony, $875
Hat: Felt fedora, Bronte Amsterdam, $245
Boots: Africa casual lace up boots, Topshop, $170
Scarf: Leopard print faux fur scarf, ModCloth, $19.99
Bag: Saddle bag, ModCloth, $59.99

I've been having fun pairing this long anorak jacket with lots of things lately: shorts, maxi dresses, short skirts…I wonder if it would work as a dress itself? Has anyone tried this theory out? Perhaps with numerous belts and over the knee boots…

There's something so great about seasons changing, right before you start to pick up on the next round of shopping. You start looking at things in your closet that have been tucked away and start giving them new life, combining them with summer favorites, interpreting them all over again to feel fresh.

What items are you guys enjoying remixing this fall?

Jacket: Anorak jacket, Forever 21
Blouse: Sheer printed ruffle blouse, vintage
Shorts: Jean cut off shorts, old pair of Levis
Boots: Vintage riding boots

I recently discovered the wonder that is San Francisco flea markets over the weekend and I couldn't be more thrilled! Just when I thought every thrift store I would find here would be overpriced and a bit stuffy (don't get me wrong, I love them still!), I was able to get away for a little bit Sunday morning and head to the Alemany Flea Market.

To my fellow San Franciscans, I highly recommend that you go. There's a little bit of digging required on your part, but totally worth it! I was able to stretch $20 and get some pretty awesome things (post coming soon!) and with Halloween right around the corner, I think my next outfit waits for me there.

Do you guys know what you want to be for Halloween yet?

Was running a bit late for work the other day and went for my go-to menswear outfit. I couldn't ask for a more laid back, yet still professional looking fit. My hair, on the other hand, I can't explain. It appears my top knot was on steroids and slightly intoxicated for the day, hence the lean. Can't win 'em all I suppose.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Top: White loose tank, H&M

Yep. Day #2 for a lady-like skirt and I'm telling ya, I think I'm addicted, folks. Because of modest length, you ask? Nah. Because of chillier, fall weather? Nope. Because of the ease of sitting in a chair or riding a bike? Negative, not that either.

I love it because I don't have to pull/shimmy/hold this thing down 100 different ways on my walk up to the bus stop. We've all been there, it's no fun. And walking UP a STEEP hill (ahem, Hayes, I'm talking to you!), only makes it worse.

That said, I love this color combo, cognac and heather gray! Yum! Happy Friday, everyone!

Sweater: Gray slouchy sweater, Wasteland
Skirt: Cognac suede mid-legnth skirt, vintage
Shoes: Black studded platform heels, Steve Madden

Perhaps one of the most comfortable outfits. Ever. Give me an off the shoulder slouchy sweater and even slouchier pants, and I'm golden! Nothing can get me down!

Sweater: 3D floral mesh sweater, American Apparel
Pants: Tapered athletic pants, Forever 21
Shoes: Cage heels, Beacon's Closet in Williamsburg

I think it's so great that two trends like this (ultra lady-like) and this (ultra sheer) can surface at the same time. Fashion, you're a mysterious minx and I love it!

I think my champion of fall has to be the silk button down shirt. Similar to what last year's blazer trend became, my outfits lately have been floating around the possibility of adding silk button down shirts here and there. With leather shorts. With trousers. Over dresses and tied in front knots. Endless, I tell you!

They're my go-to these days and add just a nice touch of class without much effort (besides the effort, of course, of trying to button buttons in a hurry while the bus to work leaves you behind.) But that, my friends, is a time management issue. My problem, not yours.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Picked up two of my fall must-haves over the past few weeks: leather shorts and a camel coat. Well, the camel coat was a purchase last year, but it's been proving to be really current with everyone's obsession as it being the "it" color. Knowing me, I might have to pick up another camel coat, one with longer sleeves perhaps.

How was everyone's weekend? I saw these guys just last night and I'm still in a dream from it.

(P.S. If you haven't already, watch the video above in Chrome. You won't regret it!)

Spent Sunday walking around the Ferry building and checking out the old penny arcade museum right down the way from Fisherman's Wharf. Never seen so many "Test your love" meter games in my life. So yes, if you must know, I fluctuated between "Cold fish" and "Hot damn!"

Hmmm….

So I have some unfinished (and exciting) business to attend to! As mentioned a few weeks back, we hosted some fun contests on Weardrobe recently, the first being the Market Publique Time After Time contest and the second being the ModCloth Mod Honor Roll contest. Here, lovely readers, I give you the winners!

First up, I have the gorgeous Miss Rachel of Studio Swag. She is the proud winner of the Market Publique contest, and will be flying out to NYC in Oct. to partake in her very own photo shoot. I can't wait to see what her and the brilliant Pamela come up with!

Second, I have Laia, Margaret and Annie who all won in the Mod Honor Roll contest. These lovelies have all received some awesome loot from ModCloth to style up on their own and have been featured in their very own style story on ModCloth's homepage. Do check it out!

Big, big, BIG thanks to both Market Publique and ModCloth for being unbelievably AWESOME for both of these contests! Love you both! And congrats, ladies!

This look was inspired by an outfit I spotted in a Club Monaco catalogue. Don't you just love it when you see something in a magazine and can immediately run to your closet with pieces you already own in mind?

Yep. That always makes my day. That and "Where the Wild Things Are" which I am about to watch….now.

Happy Wednesday, all!

EDIT: If you all get a chance and like reading lovely little love stories, do vote for my friends Cort and Lars. They're finalists in a wedding photography giveaway, and, well, they're just too darn cute (and blonde) together, how can you say no? 🙂 You can vote for them here. Thanks, lovelies!

To answer all of your burning questions, YES these shoes will KILL your feet and YES, I would buy them again because they're just too freaking darling.

And in the spirit of borrowing from Penelope, here's another number inspired by my darling dress form gal! The volume of this skirt with the rest of the jacket made the proportions of this outfit rather fun, like I had to prance around while wearing it. I love feeling frilly sometimes. Who doesn't?

Went to San Francisco's Fashion's Night Out last night with my friend, Meghan, and had an incredible time! Only downside, I found the most beautiful pair of leather shorts, just a little out of my price range. Where you ask? I'm not telling! I hid them purposefully in the store so I could sneak back and visit/purchase/whisper sweet nothings to them.

Sigh.

Some of you commented a while back about my dress form (whose name is Penelope!) and her spotty outfit. Soooo I decided to give it a whirl, a la Dolce & Gabbana. I rather like the outcome, no?

Hope you're all having a beautiful three-day weekend! I wish I could say that I DIDN'T need this trench coat at some point over the past couple of days, but I suppose Mark Twain really was right about San Fran summers.

Spending today to finish up a few things around my apartment, namely picking up some art to decorate the walls with and possibly finding the elusive coffee table. I say elusive because after driving to 7, yes, 7 different furniture stores I can't seem to decide on one. You'd think I was picking my mate for life at this rate.

Blouse: White silk pearl embellished blouse, H&M

Currently knee deep, no scratch that, fuzzy faux fur rug from IKEA deep in some September issue reading. Crazy work cut out for me!

Do you guys have any favorites yet? Any good editorial spreads? How did we like Gaga on the cover of Vanity Fair?

I wore this outfit for part of the day and skipped it when I finally buckled down for some serious IKEA shopping (read: battling crowds, avoiding small children, pushing an unruly cart and hauling the most INCREDIBLE fuzzy faux fur rug as part of my loot back to the car).

And yes, LOVING this rug right now.

Your hair would look like this too if you spent most of the evening walking around the Mission District, doing some serious thrift furniture shopping.

Oh and even better news: we got some sun today! San Franciscans, rejoice! I think I got a slight tan! Yes, albeit a farmer's tan, but a tan nonetheless!

Hurrah!

I was feeling a tad girly with this outfit with little lace-esque shorts, a floral blouse and some fun wedges.

Too bad San Francisco weather doesn't want to play along with my girly mood. Sun, where are you?? If it wasn't for Photoshop wonders, I would look ghastly pale.

This, of course, has made me play around more in my apartment for photo ops. Move over dress form. Mama's got some new shoes to show off.

I remember the lovely Jessica of What I Wore posting about this a few weeks ago, but as a fashion blogger, it's easy to compare yourself a lot. I have to admit, there are mornings I wake up and get discouraged because I don't have a certain pair of shoes that so and so wears these days or my vintage dresses don't quite have the same feel as another blogger's. And of course, there's the ever perpetuating dilemma: why can't I own everything Chloe Sevigny wears?!

And then I remind myself: let it go.

Stay true to who YOU are.
