I was excited that the weather was more appropriate this weekend, but the pollen situation isn't treating me too well. Unfortunately that means no outfit pictures and trying to stay indoors as much as tolerable. You know those meds, they keep behind the counter and ask for your ID to purchase? Well I know some ambitious entrepreneurs find themselves cooking it up into a little bit of meth, but I went a bit farther after taking those meds and started styling my Fall 2013 wardrobe with the imaginary budget of a successful meth dealer. I am really digging this (6 months ahead of time...I have issues living in the present), so let's break it down with some more reasonable alternatives. This process is what I like to call Le Rêve (the dream) vs. Le Real (real talk):
Sweater
Le Rêve: Rag & Bone Hart Sweater $275 (sold out but check out Jenni Kayne $550)
Le Real: Enza Costa Reverse Stripe Crew Sweater $82.97 (sale!)
Shirt
Le Rêve: Gucci Marine Striped Silk Shirt $995
Le Real: Madewell Windowpane Boyshirt $69.50
Handbag
Le Rêve: Victoria Beckham Tote $3150
Le Real: Tory Burch Robinson Tote $575
Jeans
Le Rêve: J Brand Legging Jean $184
Le Real: KUT from the Kloth Mia Jeans $79.50
Scarf
Le Rêve: Isabel Marant Jepson Jersey Scarf $205
Le Real: Love Quotes Knotted Tassel Scarf $88
Boots
Le Rêve & Le Real: Kurt Geiger Sloane Chelsea Boot $115 on sale 50% off!
I was killing it with the $3000+ handbag and nearly $1k for a button down shirt, eh? Thank goodness I didn't have my credit card out because I would be making some serious returns next week. I did however snap up those chelsea boots because it's fiscally responsible to buy off season.
