Variations of a theme

If you were to ever accuse me of being an "outfit repeater," normally I might gasp and swear, "Never!" But if you had caught me this past weekend, I would have been found guilty as charged.

What I wore Saturday...Dress, scarf: Kimchi Blue, Urban Outfitters

Tights: Target, maybe?
Boots: Kohl's, gift from Grandma
Necklaces: Tiffany's, vintage

And then Sunday...Faux fur jacket: Had it for so long I can't remember...

Sweater dress: Gift
Bag: Simply Vera by Vera Wang
Belt, tights: Loft
Boots: Report, Off-Broadway Shoes

Now my personal style isn't what I'd call consistent... I change themes, genres, decades on a daily basis. This is probably because I'm an "actress"; most of my outfits are "costumes." Lately I've been feeling really late seventies/early eighties, and that's been reflected in everything from my iPod playlists (Heart! Eagles! Journey! Bad Company!) to my sartorial choices.

This sweater dress/leggings/ankle boots combo has almost become a uniform of late. There's nothing much easier than slipping on a long sweater or tunic over leggings, then throwing on a scarf, belt, or faux-fur bomber jacket-- done! I've been in a purple-y mood lately, so I just happened to wear lilac-colored dresses two days in a row. Today I'm wearing a deep purple tunic! Guess I'm in a purple haze...

The hippie killed the hunter

Oh, the hippie killed the hunter for his warm plaid shirt...

No, that's not the title of a folk song (though it should be!). It' s just what I've nicknamed today's outfit. I was chilly and wanted to be warm and comfortable, so I paired my buffalo plaid flannel with some extra-thick leggings annnd... my newest and favorite addition to my wardrobe: black knee-high slouchy boots!

They fold down to make shorter boots! Wee!

I've been searching for the perfect pair for a crazy amount of time, and snagged these babies (on sale!) at Macy's. And, vegan pals, they are faux-leather, just to clarify. :) The brand is Report if you want to go grab a pair for yourself!

Outfit details:
Plaid tunic (it was a shirt dress till it shrunk!): TJ Maxx Sweater vest: Kohl's
Belt, leggings: Loft
Boots: Report via Macy's

The resulting look is very grunge-meets-Woodstock, slyph-meets-lumberjack... like a hippie who got lost in the woods and wound up killing a hunter for his shirt. Hee.

You bet, I killed him... then I picked some wildflowers.

Next I want to style these boots with this summer's black floral romper... thoughts?
