Top: Foley + Corinna, available at summerbird. Jeans: Zara. Shoes: Tory Burch from summerbird. Purse: Chanel. Sunglasses: Blinde, but here's a pair. Headband: ZoeLynn & Co., last seen here. Necklace: Stella & Dot. Earrings: old, but here's a pair I love. Bracelet: so old. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, custom by Diamonds Direct.
Through the Queen City Style, I am realizing my attraction for things that posses some underlying level of tension; things that requires a little more thought and introspection. An artistic temperament? As much as I would love to be attracted to four beige walls, "yes, dear, whatever you like," and in this case, skinny jeans paired with a cute Trina Turk top, Tory Burch flats and Chanel sunglasses; mainstream, complacency and the obvious are not me. Exciting, sure; frustrating, certainly at times; challenging even for me, yes. Oh, what is a girl to do? When I arrived home with this fabulous bustier top from summerbird, I reached for a pair of black classic tuxedo pants and a pair of over the top faux emerald and diamond rhinestone earrings. I loved the look, but I ultimately went with my first choice; the look you see here. Perhaps next time I'll go with the more obvious choice. What about you? Obvious, or not so much?

Well the word "obvious" is relative to your style. To me, the way you paired it with the distressed denim would be the obvious choice for me.
ReplyDeleteLove the top and jeans together!

Thank you so much for visiting and for taking the time to comment. The bag is the ONE thing I have spent any significant amount of money on... a five year anniversary to myself owning my own business. Worth the wait!
DeleteGood collection with stunning accessories...

What a great top Whitley! Pairing it with jeans is a fab choice, especially these, that show some wear. The gold tipped heels are great and I would wear that necklace everyday if I could ;)
