Lyon & Post Try On Round 2

January 19, 2016

I’ve just got in another shipment from Lyon & Post, and this time I decided to show you all how I would pair the items I received with things already in my closet. After all, their motto is #farewellfittingrooms!

DFT- University Art Choices - 4 DFT- University Art Choices - 7First up is this leopard print sweater from Equipment. I decided to pair it with a faux leather skirt from Forever 21 and cut-out heels from Ivanka Trump. It’s fun, a touch edgy, and even comfortable! Equipment Sloane Crew Sweater, $298.

DFT- University Art Choices - 9 DFT- University Art Choices - 12Next, this fun star-covered sweater from Amour Vert. I really did dig the celestial print sweater. It seemed pretty well-made, was very warm and fit well. However, I own a sweater that is SO similar, I couldn’t justify keeping it. I threw on a sleeveless collared white blouse, black jeans and sleek boots, along with some vintage rhinestone jewelry. Amour Vert Celeste Sweater, $195.

DFT- University Art Choices - 13 DFT- University Art Choices - 15 This sweater from Vince was soooo tricky to wear! I paired it with a plaid button-down, grey skinnies and ankle booties. I liked the way it looked fresh out of the box, but not how it felt. It was akin to knit chainmail, like a sweater of armor. Not soft, not cozy… And it had an almost garish sheen in the sun, which is really saying something coming from me, someone who loves sparkle! It also showed every lump and bump of my layers and made my arms look huge. Pass! Vince Metallic Open Crew Neck Sweater, $275.

DFT- University Art Choices - 18DFT- University Art Choices - 22Last but not least, this drapey wool coat from Vince. I understand that wool has it’s own quirks, but this contraption is ITCHY. In all honesty, I could barely wear it long enough to take these pictures. The price point didn’t help, and I also thought at first sight that it was black (hence what I paired it with, grey skinnies and leopard booties). It is actually a deep navy. Oh well, back it goes. Vince Drape Neck Coat, $675.

I’m sad to say that this will be my last shipment for now. I’ve come to realize that the price points are too high and I don’t find the prices match the quality of a lot of the items. Not really the fault of L&P, but some of the pieces compare to some I already have which I paid a lot less for. If you have money to blow on a $300 sweater, by all means, go for it. I just didn’t find enough on the site in my desired price range to warrant continuing the service.

Floaty Vest & LBD

December 10, 2015

DFT Prospect Prospects 209I have a confession to make… I don’t get vests. Or, I guess I should say, I “didn’t” get vests. They’ve always been kind of a mystery to me. They don’t really add any warmth, I personally think puffer vests are highly unattractive, and if they’re printed, it’s a whole other story with what to pair them with! My thoughts have changed a bit since I found this floaty little piece. Fitting in completely with my personal style mantra of “a little feminine, a little edgy,” this third piece is fantastic for adding some interest to an otherwise unremarkable LBD. I’d also pair it with a tank and skinny jeans, or a white t-shirt an black pencil skirt. Lots of options here! So I guess opinions can change, as long as it’s the right match!

Navy Blues

November 18, 2015

DFT Centennial Plaza Choices01It’s always a treat to spend time in the Layered by Cake boutique, checking out all of the cute new items Shannon has brought in. I was immediately drawn to this scarf as soon as my eyes locked on it. The shades of blue and brown instantly brought to mind several outfit pairings… Over a gray or cream-colored dress, with an ivory sweater and cognac knee-high boots, etc.
Navy is definitely one of my favorite hues for fall. It’s chic and comforting, but not as stark as black.

Bring It On, Fall!

November 13, 2015

DFT-Downtown Session Picks23Does this look not totally get you in the mood for fall!?
The pumpkin-patching, cider-brewing, leaf-changing, cooler weather, scarf-with-everything goodness.. I love everything about fall. Which is odd, considering I’m in Southern California and we get about only 3 weeks of the season! I’ll take what I can get!
I’ve paired with Layered by Cake boutique again to highlight some of the cool new items they have on the site.. The “Kristin” floral pencil skirt, the infinitely cozy infinity scarf, and a floppy felt hat in one of my favorite autumnal hues, merlot.
