and black, lots of it.
i gave up on the search for the Ann Demeulemeester laceup boots at a decent
price on eBay and instead settled for the Jeffrey Campbell knockoffs. i really
want them in the original camel color anyway, so that search is ongoing. i
took these to the cobbler to chop off about 2 inches since they came up too
high on my leg. aside from the cheap faux-wood heel, these aren't such a bad
substitute. plus i saved about $800.

I absolutely LOVE everything about this outfit. Simple, but the leather drawstring skirt makes the outfit intriguing! The skirt and the tee is really great. And those Ann D knockoffs aren't bad either. I've given up several ebay auctions for the Ann D lace up sandals. They are so perfect but too pricey on ebay.
ReplyDelete^^^What she said! I absolutely love everything!!! Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm so impressed by your ability to make leather look cool and chic in the middle of summer.

ReplyDeleteI really love this outfit. It's simple and sexy.
ReplyDeleteUsually it's better to go with the knockoffs, especially if you save that much. But, oh the satisfaction of having the real thing!
i love the AD lace up sandals too, but it is too pricey,and i worried that it might go out of sytle/ trend, do you think it will? i think i will get one from JCampbell too.
ReplyDeleteAs usual , I really love your outfit!
I always expect to your post.
May I say that this outfit is very hot.
ReplyDeletei love the light, all black ensemble. not an easy feat!
ReplyDelete$800 is definitely nothing to shake a stick at. so frustrating that they cost so much. also looking for the emma cook for topshop boots that were all the rage a few years back. they look uber walkable...want.
Um, WOW. Absolute perfection.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is perfection. You know that the AD camel lace ups were on Gilt? I think for about $350 or something.
ReplyDeleteLove this look!
ReplyDeleteAmazing look!!!Should I love You or hate You? damn, I cannot decide:)
