Burnout Velvet


Graphic Tee- Zara
Shorts- Thrift
Burnout Velvet Kimono- Vintage

There's something about burnout velvet that makes me feel warm and fussy inside but I can't seem to quite put my finger on what it specifically. So, if you've been following my blog, from past posts I've shared a lot of combination velvet looks mainly because I'm obsessed with anything velvet so naturally,  I went into this vintage boutique here in Manhattan and instantly fell in love with this lovely black burnout velvet kimono. I feel like a piece such as this is so rare to find and the quality is amazing. This look could have easily turned into an all white look with touches of grey however, I incorporated this kimono into the mix to add texture and slight volume... plus, it was a little chilly. This look is a pretty easy going/casual attire that's great for going pretty much going anywhere except a catholic church..ha. What better way to accessorize than to wear my vintage necklace that I've own for ages now and still manage to have it in good condition after all these years...sadly I have no idea where or how I got it, but it's definitely a great statement piece.

Colour Blind


Shorts- Jason WU
Shoes- Deandri Tequila (Solestruck)
Felt Cap with Ears- Zara

There's always something so classic and beautiful about black and white looks, and whenever I get the opportunity to style a black and white combination... I always get so excited to see the results. For this look, I've literally been dying to wear this white cropped top with the black sheer detailing for the longest time but I guess I was waiting for the the perfect timing. I paired this top with my  oversized suade shorts made by Jason WU, that I somehow haven't worn in a really long time, mainly because it's more of a fall piece and otherwise I'd probably be burning in the sun if I had worn it in the summer. I really love that it's cooling down a little here in New York (not too hot, not too cold), because I can finally get to wear a lot more of my hats and sheer stockings and funky printed socks. The hat I'm wearing is actually one of my favorites, it has these cute little ears that I think represents a cat? but those ears seem like it could be anything to me hahaha. I thought it would be really clever to incorporate the hat into this look because it adds that little extra detail that makes this outfit really interesting. I hope you enjoyed this look and thanks for visiting! have a great week.
