As my focus keeps shifting between Cali and Israel I keep having flashbacks to my recent trip home, during which I showed my partner more of Israel than I've ever seen during my life there. North to south, seashore to lakeshore, we explored the little country I keep thinking of. In the north, on the streets of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre,_Israel">Acre</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kfar_Kama">Kfar Kama</a>, we encountered many blue doors.</div>

The clothes I was wearing for this trip were thrifted and even homemade - the dress was made by a dressmaker with my pattern. Flip flops accompanied everything. I was relaxed and sun-kissed. Good times. As I'm working on the next big thing (coming up soon! stay tuned! etc) I keep thinking about that vacation-not-vacation. And the blue doors one looks so good next to. </div>

I owe you this one! Being forever in transit and trying this thing the call in Hebrew "living on the line", things get confusing at times. I currently have two closets - in Tel Aviv and in California (classified location!) and too many shoes to count. I better start making some sense in it all, as in - seasonal and location appropriate, but truth be told both my "homes" are very similar. You could dress like this anywhere:</div>

My friend Haley took these pictures when I visited L.A almost three months ago - I love how easy this look is, so Tel Avivian. I'm planning to wear this dress with flip-flops all summer long. This one definitely stays in Cali. </div>

In vain I tried to explain my dad how to take my pictures. He insisted on making them blurry as hell and I kept freezing, but nevertheless - stylish points were scored on this short and sudden Copenhagen trip, if blending in and gaining respectful looks from local fashionistas is of any indication. And boy, they're fashionable here! And everyone in denim and black. Just like me!</div>

I'm absolutely in love with this new look I geekshly "prepared" for what turned out to be the world's most stylish city. Boyfriend jeans, when done right - and Topshop people know how - are heaven to walk around in, and grey denim is the perfect backdrop for my new masculine shirt. The scarf helped with the icy wind on the bike. Nothing helped, however, to become as tall and sculptured-face-beautiful as the locals. Oh, well. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
If the shopping center if full of squealing teenagers and everyone's buying household items they don't need, spring IS officially upon us by Israeli standards - it's Passover time, and all bets are off. I love spring for the obvious reasons - the flowers, the sane weather (the rain is behind us, the scorching heat is yet to come), the festive atmosphere. I always do my annual vintage sale around this time of year - the weekend was dedicated to that. In between, I found time to be flowery and put-together for BeinIsrael. </div>

Wonderful Liya Geldman and I teamed up for this post - it was meant to promote my vintage sale (and you can read my thoughts<a href="http://www.beinisrael.com/style/people/flora-capovskaya-31-god-zhurnalist-i-bloger-tel-aviv-san-francisko/"> here</a>), but came out inspirational on any level - why can't I dress like this every day? :) I'm in love with this dress, naturally - it's a true gem, especially with manly leather accessories. And how about this backpack? I need a dozen of them. Happy Passover - new energies, great adventures, love and fashionable statements to us all. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes, to achieve true inspiration, you must change the scenery. And don't I know it - this year has been, so far, very rich in that aspect, but it never hurts to keep switching it up. I find great fashionable inspiration in new surroundings and stylish challenges (you're looking at a person who once spent a whole day researching what to wear to a rave - those were the days), and willing to "get out of character" for a little bit of play.

Honestly, it all came together in a morning of hasty packing and throwing things together. The wooden elements - the beautifully minimalist wooden ring with the rustic one, the earrings my friend Shira brought me from her journey in Africa, the luxurious dress that swept the sand. Being a highly impressionable person and a desert lover I wanted this "Out of Africa" look, minus the heartbreak. You'll be the judge. </div>

I got invited to a cute daytime wedding in a public place - yes, above a theater, with curious civilians taking pictures and a bride in a mini. I had this suit divided over two continents - the skirt in my Californian closet, the shirt - in my mom's closet in Israel. The wedding was a good chance to unite the two.</div>

There's something very exciting about a silky, matchy-matchy suit. A little bit first lady, a little preppy, but so luxurious - I made the skirt shorter, but the loose top is going to stay the same. A chunky golden necklace was my choice to "toughen things up" and the retro sunglasses, courtesy of Erroca Israel, added the California touch. Do yourself a favor and try a suit this summer - the put-together feeling is refreshing and, ironically, pretty adventurous. Discuss. </div>

Fancy parties. I don't go for those mostly - give me a living room and some improvised speakers, and I'm good. But a website I write for, <a href="http://www.beinisrael.com/">BeinIsrael</a>, had one, and I went out of simple curiosity.<br />

The dress code was "flowers" - I wore my vintage dress with flats and a snake skin bag. This armchair with the fluffy pillow worked into the retro look as I was photographed by a friend, Katya Shepelyavaya. I fall in and out of love with the vintage look, especially as my life takes interesting turns. Stay tuned. </div>

Life moved on, but I still want to show you what I wore for TVFW (a pretty cool abbreviation, if you ask me). The second day I featured two different looks, which entailed going home and changing. Dedication. That's all I have to say.</div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
I got most of this pre-planned, pre-loved look at <a href="http://captainshelm.com/">Captain's Helm</a>, a really cool vintage store in Oceanside, an otherwise unremarkable (albeit cute) Californian town. My fashion critic and life partner surprised me with the bag, the rest - my own doing. two more words - wear those headbands. You'll get compliments. </div>

And for the evening - this truly gorgeous dress I found and made much shorter. I love the golden trim and the "proper", closed cut. So Funky. And we're almost done.</div>

I know, I've been absent. Buy hey, given the fact I flew across the ocean to come home I deserve a break. I landed straight into the buzz of Tel Aviv Fashion Week, which is nothing like the NYFW. Nobody snobs me out here (they wouldn't dare!) and the general atmosphere is of lesser importance and more of a fashion celebration - this fashion week doesn't have a "season" to be ahead of, which can't put Israel on the international circuit, but the intentions are good and everyone is friendly and happy to dress up to the nines. This is what I wore for the opening night. </div>

I love the idea of a cropped top and a maxi skirt, especially with such a fine print. A lot of guests mixed up "fashion-forward" and "festive" and showed up in beaded, sparkly and floor-length numbers (one had a train, like at the Oscars, no less) but I don't like to overdo it. s hey say, "a fuchsia lipstick completed her look". I wore more cool stuff yesterday and the day before, so stay tuned and follow my <a href="http://instagram.com/clothesontrees">Instagram</a> for maximum updates!</div>

I'm never going to be a surfer. When I was little, my Russian school had swimming lessons at the local pool, but putting my head under water seemed so absurd to me. These days I wear contact lenses, on top of everything, so water-in-your-eye sports is out. Beach-inspired colors and prints though? Yes please.</div>

IT's embarrassing how much I'm being asked about this top. Yes, it's from the Nicki Minaj collection, which - after reading <a href="http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/10/nicki-minaj-kmart-line-test-fashion.html">this piece of fine journalism</a> - I couldn't pass by. It's a damn fine collection, let me tell you, over-the-top prints and studs aplenty - and the top worked itself perfectly into our trip to L.A. Yes, this is a So-Cal beach. And yes, I know you want a piece of Nicki Minaj awesomeness right now. More L.A to come soon!</div>

Earlier this year (or was it last year? Time flies!) I wasn't sure about the Olsen twins' "affordable" line. Compared to Elizabeth&James, their designer brand, Olsenboye lacked sophistication and flair, but then I found this - hey, who needs flair when there's bling - on a grey sweatshirt, fashion editors' favorite staple? For some reason, I keep pairing my new pair of jeans with grey. And architectonic shoes, which look pretty great on damp, wintry ground. </div>

What's fashion if not surprising yourself - a.k.a finding yourself in some bizarre combinations that somehow work? This one, courtesy of being late and desperately wanting to try out my new leopard tights, is odd enough and yet delightful.<br />

These two items came from estate sales - sometimes I wonder if my polished, get-them-with-a-tag habits are suppressed right now by the joy of amazing, one-of-a-kind vintage finds. The skirt and the sweater looked so grandma-ish I had to spice things up with rebellious tights. And a librarian with a twist was born. Ironically, the beautiful mural in the background couldn't say it better. </div>

While everyone's busy with next winter's projections, I live in the present. And in the present, it seems like the big woolly sweater and the little flimsy skirt are best friends:</div>

I love this array of looks - perfect for concealing the winter muffin top (everyone has one, don't tell me otherwise), perfect for showing off some leg (with little booties) and feminine without being flashy. Besides, this uniform will lead you straight into the ZARA SALE wormhole... And it's not such a bad place to be right now. </div>

</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">As promised here, I'm determined to wear more pants. It's not like I have something against them - but, being the lazy person that I am, pants (or other separates) require a considerable amount of coordination, and I don't like to think too much about it. Dresses are simple. Pants are for those who don't have commitment-phobia. I wore this look on the weekend, however, given it was a cold day and I love this shirt:</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" dir="ltr" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Yup, tribal pattern is still my thing. But more than the pants that led to it, I enjoyed wearing a completely buttoned shirt (I have a penchant for total buttoning, a penchant not easily achieved when you got breasts) and those atypical loafer-type shoes I just got on sale. The cousin of my favorite ballet flats, this shoe carries a foreign, yet exciting, androgynous spirit. Look where pants got me!</div></div>Clothes on Treeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14879762935151238645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764089020205229281.post-26944002433624641662014-02-03T10:52:00.000-08:002014-02-04T10:25:18.212-08:00Lilly vs. Emma - the Cute-Off<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><br />
</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Let's face it – Brits are just too adorable. It's as if the UK celebrities emerge into the spotlight knowing how to be sexy and subtle at the same time, and you can't deny the coolness factor - it comes with the accent, which I normally can't resist. So, I was thrilled to find two of Britain's most cupcake-like ladies, the recently un-retired Lilly Allen and the newly grown-up Emma Watson, competing for our attention this month with two new magazine covers. Who did it better (and cuter)?</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://s586.photobucket.com/user/clothesflora/media/emma-watson-wonderland_zpsc0a17d7d.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo emma-watson-wonderland_zpsc0a17d7d.jpg" border="0" src="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss306/clothesflora/emma-watson-wonderland_zpsc0a17d7d.jpg" height="400" width="571" /></a></div><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Watson, whose new epic film <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1959490/">Noah</a></i> is coming to the theaters next month, is starring on the cover of Wonderland, a new British fashion magazine. Two versions of the it – jokingly named “Afro Prada Bruiser" and “Elf Alien Queen” on her Twitter account – are accompanied by a whole bunch of pages we're supposed to believe she guest-edited. Her favorite people are Pharrell, Lena Dunham, Lorde and her Perks of Being a Wallflower co-star Ezra Miller to name a few, demonstrating a very varied (albeit a tad mainstream, in a hipster sort of way) taste in popular culture.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://s586.photobucket.com/user/clothesflora/media/Lily-Allen-for-ELLE-UK-March-2014-640x850_zpsd5084fa9.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Lily-Allen-for-ELLE-UK-March-2014-640x850_zpsd5084fa9.jpg" border="0" src="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss306/clothesflora/Lily-Allen-for-ELLE-UK-March-2014-640x850_zpsd5084fa9.jpg" height="660" width="571" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
On the other corner of the pond, the ever-so-bitter-sweet songstress Lilly Allen got herself a cover as well, with Elle Britain. The beautiful photo shoot (just how pretty are the logo letters, in tune with Allen's Miu Miu dress?) is very much in the spirit of her upcoming single "Air Balloon" and proves Lilly is back big time, and her interview is supposedly peppered with comments about feminism, media brainwashing and motherhood. Here's a teaser: "Of course I’d rather look like Kate Moss than look like myself,” she admits. “I wish I didn’t feel like that, and I think the reason we feel like that is because of the imagery we’re fed all the time. Women are still expected, in some weird way, to kind of… sit there and look pretty. And not talk.” I wouldn't guess from this video:</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="325" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/yXS00k7881g" width="571"></iframe><br />
</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: right;"><br />
</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: right;">Emma's editorial debut hits the stands on Feb. 7, while Lilly's issue is expected in early March. So who do you prefer? The wise, tongue-in-cheek Allen or the bubbly, fun-lovin' Watson? Or should we just have a tea party with both of them? What a great idea! </span></div></div>Clothes on Treeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14879762935151238645noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764089020205229281.post-66605126353510649152014-01-24T12:17:00.002-08:002014-01-24T12:23:22.664-08:00Easy Living<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on">

<br />
Three years ago, working for a magazine I now work for again, I was assigned to write a lightweight article about "starting the year". I wrote it, but my editor back then wasn't feeling it – it's too young, too silly, she said. Did you forget we aim for an all-inclusive demographic? So it ended up <a href="http://www.clothesontrees.com/2010/01/1.html">on my blog</a>, and you loved it. Today I woke up inspired and felt like recreating that list. I love beginnings way more than ends (hardly original, I know ) and I often find myself dreaming, reflecting, plotting and planning, all in January. So – bear with me and let's begin 2014.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1. Upgrade your sports wardrobe: I bought purple leopard-print Nike running shoes this year and never looked back. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;">
2. Make <a href="http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/asian-spiced-kedgeree-173">this</a>. It's a yummy, easy, healthy dream of a dish.<br />

<br />
3. Make friends with pants – yesterday when a pole in my closet collapsed from dresses overweight, I realized I have a problem.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;">
4. Make friends with TV comedies – I recently started watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1741256/">Subrgatory</a> (so fashionably late) and now you can find me laughing in bed at 2 a.m. Other truly funny comedies: New Girl, Parks and Recreation and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1073507/">Party Down</a> (please watch it). <br />
<br /></div>

5. Find a new esoteric crush – I got my eyes on Alex Ebert. Who? Have you watched the Golden Globes?<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;">
6. Stay in bed all day and finally browse through your new cookbooks, magazines and fan mail (I'm going to be cuddling with <a href="http://www.kinfolk.com/shop/book/the-kinfolk-table-cookbook/">this one</a>).<br />

7. Discover a Portuguese or Cape Verde singer – for some reason, it's my favorite language of all times. Mayra Andrade, Mariza, Lhasa, just take a pick - and prepare to fall in love.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;">
8. Watch those Oscar-nominated movies! I especially enjoyed the humble <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1821549/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Nebraska</a></i> but no way it's going to win.<br />

14.

Get out there. Go to Greece, it's about time. Just go. </div>

Some fashion-loving ladies out there call themselves "curators" - they "curate" clothes. Sometimes I think I accidentally curate dresses with animal prints on them. Not leopard prints, but little tigers, horses and donkeys. Adding to the collection - swans!</div>

Happy 2014 everyone. I have a vague feeling this year is going to be good - or at least intense and interesting. I will continue mixing new and old, crazy and appropriate, and I got a couple of surprises up my sleeve for the blog's future. Stay tuned!! And in the meantime: I surprised myself by accidentally wearing something that might have been Isabel Marant for H&M. None of which I bought when the collection was still available.</div>

A silky dress with a messy print? Check. Boots with fringe? Check. The coat may not be oh-so-Parisian dark blue, but the boxy cut is quite accurate. It's not that I didn't like Isabel's collaboration, but the overall hysteria around it put me off a bit. And here I am, prancing around SF's beautiful Duboce Park in a cheaper tribute - my old favorite boots and my new favorite dress. Life is strange indeed</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
Lets just say 2013 was quite busy and meaningful for me - more on the personal level, less on the media, fashion scene and everything else level. Nevertheless, I decided to turn yearly summaries into a welcome tradition. Here are my choices for 2013, in fashion and culture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s586.photobucket.com/user/clothesflora/media/sandrajulia_zps5d95a8ef.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo sandrajulia_zps5d95a8ef.jpg" border="0" height="588" src="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss306/clothesflora/sandrajulia_zps5d95a8ef.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s586.photobucket.com/user/clothesflora/media/sandrajulia_zps5d95a8ef.jpg.html" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><br />
</a></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">1. Julia and Sandra wearing color</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
I loved watching how, slowly and gradually, two of Hollywood's most understated leading ladies begun to realize the power of red-carpeting. I can't be sure what exactly happened, but both Bullock and Roberts finally started to look fantastic – Sandra in tight, hip dresses, Julia in purple and red. Both of these actresses have a "next door" charm that got them this far – but our hyper-visual world demands more, and they delivered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s586.photobucket.com/user/clothesflora/media/chanelmissoury_zpsec068f6e.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo chanelmissoury_zpsec068f6e.jpg" border="0" height="471" src="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss306/clothesflora/chanelmissoury_zpsec068f6e.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">2. Fashion going places – Missouri, Texas</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
December was marked by the "Paris, Texas" extravaganza, courtesy of Chanel, and earlier this year a huge fashion exhibit moonlighted in Missoury Chess Hall of Fame, no less. I kind of like this turn of events – fashionistas in Dallas, headlines in the Vogue featuring flyover states – it's fresh and interesting, and makes me wonder where this is going next. What quiet, un-hip town Karl Lagerfeld is going to devour next – that sort of thing.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s586.photobucket.com/user/clothesflora/media/Olivia-Pope_zpsc9a489f4.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Olivia-Pope_zpsc9a489f4.jpg" border="0" height="486" src="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss306/clothesflora/Olivia-Pope_zpsc9a489f4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">3. Scandal and Suits do preppy right</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
Ever since my year-and-a-half long stint in advertising, I swore off office spaces. No more pencil skirts and "clients" for me, thank you very much. This is why Scandal and Suits, two shows that do office so well, are my guilty pleasures. I look at the cubicles and office politics (Suits) and Olivia Pope's sharp outfits (Scandal) and marvel at the clean, ruthless office aesthetics. Two of the best shows of 2013, for my inner secretary.<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s586.photobucket.com/user/clothesflora/media/milavashma9collage_zps39cc094a.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo milavashma9collage_zps39cc094a.jpg" border="0" height="640" src="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss306/clothesflora/milavashma9collage_zps39cc094a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">4. Israeli celebrities got the memo</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
On the other side of the globe, where celebrities go to the same grocer as you, it seems like the Israeli stars finally got the message – black and blah is not a dress code. Young starlets discovered color and local designers, local designers discovered PR – it didn't happen overnight, I know, but it's slowly arriving. Toda la el, amen. <br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s586.photobucket.com/user/clothesflora/media/films_zps42b43e82.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo films_zps42b43e82.jpg" border="0" height="459" src="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss306/clothesflora/films_zps42b43e82.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">5. Touchy indie comedies</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
As the blockbuster relationship dramedy is slowly disappearing from the screen, the indies take over. I enjoyed "Frances Ha" and "Drinking Buddies" immensely, especially the latter – Olivia Wild finally wasn't annoying and the premise of the subtle screen really got to me. As for Frances, a.k.a Greta Gerwig, needless to say it was the hipster favorite of the year. I loved it, despite the over-thinking and the mumbling. Hopefully, more to come in 2014. </div>

After a long journey into Vintage Land, here's a brief comeback of the "new". Busy times are all around - guests, work, big birthdays and New Year resolutions, but I had a burning desire to pair these items I bought recently and to play around with proportions and even, dare I say, styling. </div>

This is the mood these days - big puffy "baseball" jackets, fringe (the shorts - on sale, in a forgotten isle, in a flurry of winter coats), crazy shoes and yes, knee-high socks. "Clueless" meets trashy, and that's the way I like it.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">This will be brief - while it might be time for Christmas sweaters (Israeli readers - you're lucky we're not in this game), in my book it's just about festivity. Crazy patterns, crazier finds, floor-sweeping gowns to go shopping in, and just plain old silliness and fun. All concentrating in this dress:</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" dir="ltr" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I love this look and I've been loving this dress ever since I found it - it had cartoonish characters on it, and the cut is so flattering - I always feel like I stepped out of the "Gone with the Wind" set (my man has it on repeat - he should have known better than letting me cross my feet in a long dress. I look like a freak of nature in picture 3). The jacket is a recent find - it's a bit too 80s, I won't lie, but something about this works. So consider this a tribute to all things kitschy and out-there, just like the sweater - I'm loving dressing up recently and the end of the year feels exciting indeed. Cheers, y'all. Just kidding. </div></div>Clothes on Treeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14879762935151238645noreply@blogger.com2
