Eye of the Tiger






Storets Leopard shoulder zipper dress, Vintage peacock scarf, Obey x Catbreath dye skirt, Jeffrey Campbell Potion boots, Bleach Black & Noir rings, H&M bag.


I take delight in the idea of mixing different, yet not completely contrasting prints, irresistible this summer. I find when wearing a more fitted item on top (or bottom) a slightly baggier piece complements the other half. As attractive as wearing a men's dress shirt and wrist watch with a short skirt and a pair of incredible heels.



As for the shoes, which are more often than not affectionately referred to as my monster moon boots … I love them that much more for their Frankenstein dungeon appeal...

i looooove your skirt! and that scarf on your head looks really cool.

haha my friends make up weird nicknames for my "unique" pieces of clothing too. in 11th grade, everyone used to call me grandma because i always carried this AMAZING floral, carpet/couch-like, extremely grandmotherly purse. i don't regret it.

Fashion Chalet said...

THANK YOU!



The scarf is actually just a regular scarf belonging to my Mom from the 80's that I wanted to experiment with as a head-scarf that day. ;)

I think I've met that tiger once before... It was around a moon... aah, may be it was a cat... or ... I don't really know that much about pets or anything.
Anyway, blue is a new green...
If anyone disagrees that is OK too :)))
