Fashion=Controversy (Sometimes)
Posted by The Pisces Girl on Friday Dec 23, 2011 in Fashion
Here is a little something I wore for a mini roadtrip to Waco, TX with Schwabs. While the city is no stranger to controversy (remember the Branch Davidians?) I don’t think anyone was expecting this little get-up to roll into town. Let’s just say, it certainly earned me many turned heads and strange looks.
I actually wanted to show off my new cognac colored ankle boots from Zigi Girl. I’ve had my eye on them for over year now and they finally went on a sale for a major price reduction on Endless.com. Soooooo worth the wait.
As always, the fun of fashion is in the details.
The cardigan, which Schwabs affectionately calls my hobo sweater, was a Goodwill find and practically brand new when I found it hiding in the racks. The purse gets a lot of use on my travels and hopefully, you’ve seen before. The socks are just one of many (many) funky pairs that I own. And all of the jewelry was either gifted or inherited, which means each piece is special.
The beautiful antique-style ring was Schwabs’ most recent gift to me. He actually slipped it into the pocket of my hobo sweater while I was looking over this bridge. I better keep my purses under tight surveillance from now on, I didn’t feel a thing!
Despite mixed reviews, I was very happy with this outfit. It was comfortable, it was quirky, it had lots of personality and it suited mine just fine. Hope it inspires you to take risks and wear what you want without fear of judgement.
WORK IT…and everyone else around you will have no choice but to take notice-good, bad or otherwise

I seriously think you and I are on the same wavelength! I recently wore a similar outfit (except I didn’t wear it with cool boots – just some converse) and Vince was not a fan. Haha…oh well I still felt awesome.

Hi Style Sister! I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one. That’s the same reason I don’t take Schwabs shopping with me. I pull things off the rack that sometimes make him cringe…Don’t stifle me!!!!!
