Good news, folks! The days are getting longer! These photos were taken at roughly 5:45 ish, as the sun was setting. Dare I say it, but I think spring may just be around the corner…
(That said, let's hope I didn't just jinx us, huh?)
On a side note, I MUST get my bangs trimmed. Pronto. Any suggestions for great hairdressers in the Bay Area? I'm starting to feel like a shaggy dog. And not a cute shaggy dog.
Blazer: Power shoulder blazer, 80s Purple
Dress: Vintage floral tiered skirt worn as dress
Boots: Black over the knee boots, TopShop
Capriece at Patrick Evan Salon. I have long dark hair like you and he's the best stylist I've ever had. http://www.yelp.com/biz/patrick-evan-salon-and-spa-san-francisco-2?q=capriece
OK, So I have been eyeing those boots on topshop and I thought you would be the perfect person to ask… Do the shoes fit true to size or did you order a size bigger or smaller?
i love the idea of turning the skirt into a dress!
Love the blazer + dress combo! Also, I am so jealous that you can wear {almost} short sleeves! It's a whopping 35 degrees in my corner of the world. Haha 🙂
I adore this outfit. You're really rocking those shoulder pads. 😀
I have 2 skirts I've been debating about wearing as dresses so thanks for the inspiration! Yours looks adorable as a dress!
Great photos! I love that floral.
that blazer is an amazing find! i'm such a fan of the 1980s aesthetic – i'm a sucker for a strong shoulder… 🙂

Go to Chana at Fringe in Hayes Valley (SF). You do mean that Bay Area, right?
I love the way you put this outfit together.
You're an inspiration!
I love how you turned a skirt into a dress. That's just the kind of thing I love… reinventing what you already have!

I go to Trista at Salon Vivo in San Carlos (on the peninsula, just south of San Mateo), but if you don't have a car and/or aren't staying on the peninsula, that can be a bit of a pain to get to.
She is cheap though, and cuts my bangs (which are like yours).
you look so great!! Love the blazer and the dress. Your pictures are great, I love the blue sky. Oh how I miss blue skies, lets just hope you are right about spring getting here soon.
cute, love that blazer!
I'm crazy about your leather jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love it. Where in the Bay are you living? My best friend (as well as my stylist), Hilary, is AMAZING and works at ArtBeat in Berkeley. Well priced and all, but there are a bunch of wonderful salons in the city if you are on that side of the bay. Cinta's great, pricey, but awesome.
I have been eyeing up your boots since you got them, and I think you've finally convinced me to pull the plug… now that we are all lusting after spring, I plan to buy an OTK boot. le sigh.

i started going to the john velasquez salon because its near my office, but its awesome for those of us with bangs because they offer free bang trims! its in the financial district of san francisco. is that near you?

I love how you made the skirt a dress! The print on it is so pretty. I'm in love with this outfit.
Great jacket! xo

I absolutely loooove this outfit. The skirt-as-dress just looks like a frilly dress. So edgy with the Topshop boots! And my bangs are so long now, they just look like long layers. 😛
Love that outfit! The jacket is fabulous!
ok, I'm in love with that skirt/dress! The dark florals are so pretty for winter.

Those are fun boots — love your outfit!

In Montreal, the sun is setting later as well…..but there is about half a feet of snow everywhere….so I really hope you're right about the spring! 😉
By the way, I'm in love with your outfit!!

So in love with the blazer. It is absolutely ridiculous!
Argh, I'm in love with that blazer! Also, your fringe looks super cute as it is! <3
This outfit is absolutely amazing! I am in love with that jacket!! I love that you turned that skirt (that may look strange as a skirt) into a dress! And it looks awesome!
Oh, I'm SO jealous of the sunshine! This is such a cute outfit, little shaggy dog! 🙂
