Just A Thought...

What I Wore: Modern Margot

WhatIWore:

When:
November 3, 2009

What:
Coat: On loan from Market Publique
Gloves: also on loan from Market Publique
Tights: Simply Vera from Kohl’s
Dress: vintage, thrifted and altered
Shoes: ModCloth

Where:
Walk to the park, coffee and general milling about

Why:
This outfit is a perfect example of how a coat can make everything just… special. I felt like a 2009 version of Margot Tenenbaum in this look… walking down the street with my camera and tripod and big glasses and vintage coat (Should Rian Johnson or Wes Anderson need a costume director, I’m available). Actually, it was a pretty cool feeling. Then I set up shop and jumped around in the leaves and had a ball of a time doing it. I’ve also taken to wearing gloves lately, even when its not cold out. I just feel like it completes the look.

Finally, lets talk about the hosiery and shoes - I hate pantyhose. I do not have a pair to share in my closet. But when a nude leg compliments an outfit, I opt for nude fishnets. I think fishnets used to have a bad rep for being sort of tarty legwear - but these are perfectly ladylike. And as the magazines tell you, wearing nude shoes with a nude leg really does make them l-l-longer.
