Trench: Top Shop (old). Pants: Zara (similar). Top: Tinley Road. Shoes: Louboutin (similar here). Sunglasses: Elizabeth & James thanks to StefaniBags. Cuff: Robert Rodriguez c/o. Handbag: Hendri Bendel
Whenever I’m getting dressed for the day, I’ll usually come out of the bedroom and ask Keith’s opinion about my outfit. I value his opinion in a big way so when he answered me with “you look like a spy and I mean that in a good way…” I went with it. I’ve had this trench for awhile now and it’s still one of those pieces I wear over and over again. Cost per wear makes me incredibly happy, especially when the item didn’t cost a lot to begin with.

PS: I asked some of you for some music recs over on my Facebook page. So excited to discover some new stuff. Thank you for the recommendations!

March 27, 2013Nikki
I love this look! I have been wanting a leather top! I love the all over (or mostly) leather look.
I ask my husband what he thinks too. Sometimes he doesn't understand, and that is when I think it is a really good outfit (like, he didn't know you could do pink and green together). My husband is not so fashionable, but he is really supportive, which is what we really need, right?
