Mix and match?!

I put a question mark in the title because I’m not sure if there was actually a match in this outfit. It looked better in my head and after I saw it in the pictures I’m not so sure. But it’s getting late and I’m too tired to try another outfit. Besides, this is how I left home this morning (except for the shoes).
As for the clip in extensions, I sent an email to “Foxy Locks” to see if they could match my hair color if I send them a picture and I’m just waiting for a response. I’ve read many good reviews about these extensions and they’re reasonably priced so I will be purchasing these ones, as soon as I get a reply. I hope I won’t be disappointed!

Day 79 - Another closet rediscovery: Krizia jacket!

I found this lovely jacket at a fashion bazaar several years ago and bought it without even trying it on! It turned out to be a little long at the sleeves but other than that it’s fine. I usually have a difficulty finding jackets that fit me perfectly. I have broad shoulders and relatively small waist, which means the size that fits me at the shoulders is usually large at the waist (or at the sleeves as in this Krizia jacket!). Luckily my last three jacket/coat purchases are a perfect fit (in size 10 UK). You’ll see me wearing my new goodies pretty soon.
There’s something off about today’s outfit I think. Maybe it’s my hair or something about the outfit itself I don’t know, tell me what you think (I'm open to criticism)!

A couple of artistic photos:

I've been watching the new episodes of Gossip girl lately (season 4). Have you seen them? I love Serena's style and she's gorgeous. Her Paris frocks were to die for!!!

Day 64 - Closet rediscovery: Miu Miu shoes!

I can’t remember exactly how long ago I bought these Miu Miu shoes, but I’m guessing it must have been 4 or 5 years at least. I can vaguely recall Pearl Lowe wearing the same ones in a bright fuchsia color at a magazine photo shoot and the moment I saw them I had to get them! I got them in sale but they were still pretty expensive. Ah, I miss those days when I could afford a designer splurge every once in a while...
Anyway, I don’t know why, but I haven’t worn these amazing shoes more than 2-3 times and I recently rediscovered them while rearranging my closet. I guess it was the “save them for a special occasion” syndrome, but now I’ve decided to start wearing them more often. I think their design will never go out of fashion, but even if it does, I don’t care! I’m still going to wear them cause I like them (and they’re Miu Miu)!!!
