merona turtleneck {thrifted new} american eagle skirt {thrifted}
parisian {dept store} necklace mossimo kachiri boots
i've always been drawn to this picture of e. in a great teal colored long-sleeved shirt, scarf in the same hue, and a winter white skirt. i have been waiting until the temps dip down a little bit to recreate her look. i could have emulated it even better if i had worn this skirt, but i just wasn't feeling it with the boots. so i put my own little spin on it and accented with browns instead of blacks, and i love it. i had quite the aversion to turtlenecks when i was growing up, but after finding a few cheap donated target ones at the goodwill, i figured it would be worth giving a try. i'm also anxious to pair a turtleneck with a great statement necklace and skirt like mariel.
i really don't think i would have come to these style ideas on my own had i not started reading style blogs. does everyone remember how they found their first style blog? i used to spend a lot of time uploading personal photos to flickr, and every once in a while i would browse through random photostreams or look at the popular photos of the day. through doing that, i found someone's photostream who often posted pictures of her cute outfits and linked them up to the wardrobe_remix flickr group. i started browsing through that group and i think that's how i found kasmira, then academichic... and then the style blogging community opened up. this was fall 2007. what about you guys? i'd love to hear some of your stories! and i definitely want to thank anyone out there who might stumble across this blog and add it to your own reader.
