STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I think I solved my own problem :) I think I'm just gonna wear a brown top i have already. It'll be more dressy and then i don't hafta buy a belt :)

this is the top (and w/ detail on beading)

 

looks ok as an outfit? better than the beater? (sooooo sorry bout the wicked blurry pics)

you're so funny! My mom actually asked me the same thing last night ;) got it covered mom, lol! It's in Boston, so yes it'll be coooold. You're ideas are awesome! I'm gonna def use them when I wear it again!!! I'm soooo bad at being out of the box like that, just hand me the mannequin so I don't hafta think! ;)

nice touch. I think urbn outfitters has them. on my way to get em "mom" ;)

I love that white top, but the brown looks great with that shawl - which I also love. You look so pretty! Have fun

Don't you just hate stressing over an outfit for an occasion? I do this CONSTANTLY - and always feel like i need to buy something new - congrats for going in your closet for an answer!!!!!

Both outfits are HOT!  I think you should go with the second though.  I love the first, but it seems like YOU might feel a little underdressed.  And the second is a little dressier without being too much.  Love it!  Have fun!

you're really talented. you have a really good knack for balance, you can totally tell in both of your pictures - the outfits are really clean and well put together. i like that you've got a little bit of funky and a little bit of sexy worked in - it's not quite cutesy or too clubby, but a good mix of both, and it'd be great for daytime or evening, casual or more dressy. i especially like that you kept that casual outfit on the girly side - i tend to be a bit of a tomboy in my own style and so this sort of vibe is very inspiring for me.

awesome!!!
