Saying Goodbye, Hotsy Totsy

Sweater: J. Crew (so old!), Shirt: Forever 21, here's one. Shorts: Jessica Simpson, here's a pair. Shoes: Ann Roth Shoes. Purse: Coach (old). Belt: Most Wonderful Man in the World's. Sunglasses: Blinde, here's a less expensive pair. Earrings: My favorite-Luv Aj. Bracelets: Stella & Dot, J. Crew, My Grandmother's. Rings: Tiffany, custom by Diamonds Direct.

Two things in this post resonate with me.  If you know me personally or see me on a regular basis, you know I wear these jean shorts almost every day.  I am a walking contradiction of myself.  I think this is is for a couple of reasons; I try to jam as much as possible in any allotment of time, literally running everywhere I go, and I simply don't have the time to consider the way I look.  My Grandmother would not like hearing this, but it is in any case, the truth of the matter.  That said, I do look forward to the opportunity to put my best foot forward on a special occasion (or blog post:), but in the meantime I say goodbye to my faithful shorty blues until the next season.  The second thing I want to share with you is THESE SHOES!  My dear friend, actress and designer, Ann Roth, sent me these shoes.  I planned on sending them back to her, but it is not going to happen.  I simply could not part once I put them on my feet.  I'm so excited, because Ann is sharing the love by offering 20% off her entire shoe and bag collection!  Just enter THEQUEENCITY (all caps) at check out.  Happy Shopping!  Happy Weekend!

Gold Beaded Vest and Denim Shorts

Pin It

Real quick: if you are not already, may I ask you to follow the Queen City Style on Facebook?  I often post different things there, and I am super excited about the new personalized fan page. THANK YOU!!

Now on to the outfit...

Vest: c/o Cigi Guz. Tank: Gap. Shorts: Jessica Simpson (old), here's a similar pair.  Purse: Coach. Shoes: Loft (old), here's a pair. Sunglasses: Ray-Ban. Necklace: KK Bloom Boutique.  Bracelets: J. Crew, Stella & Dot, vintage. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, Diamonds Direct. 

This outfit is a pretty dead-on representation for my everyday street style look.  You may recall seeing the gold beaded vest from this recent post, paired with my green harem pants from Woman Shops World.  I so adore this vest belonging to budding designer Cigi Guz that I had to wear it again, this time more casually with my trusty denim shorts.  I also love this vintage Coach cross body bag that belonged to my mother.  If you look closely in the above picture, you can see an ink stain on the under body of the bag; certainly nothing to deter me from a Coach classic.

For the love of recycled style, never out of style...

One Of My Favorite Outfits

Here she is.  The lovely Macy girl.  The other lady of the family, and so I am not completely outnumbered.  If you own a lab, or any other dog for that matter, you know what I mean when I say Macy possesses all the qualities any man would seek in a lady.  She's pretty, sweet, intelligent :), kind, loving, good at spooning, comes when called, rarely complains, does not talk back, gives so much, and perhaps most of all, she is loyal to no avail.  I loved having her a part of these photographs as I incorporated this awesome leash from Woman Shops World, made from Saris, the traditional clothing of Indian women. If you would like one of these fun leashes for your four-legged friend, you may use discount code: QCSTYLE for an extra 15% off the entire shop through September!  Don't forget to enter the harem pants giveaway by Thursday!
