Outfit of the Day: A Study in Contradictions

Ugh, peeps. After weeks of miserable weather in the Big Ap, I've been completely uninspired to post winter OOTDs (as evidenced by the dearth on site). Today, finally, we had a bit of reprieve...warmer temps and even some sunshine, so I braved the brisk air to bare my look, which I've dubbed a 'study in contradictions.'

Let me 'splain. In my esteemed-by-very-few opinion, one of the simplest but most effective tenets of great style is the art of the juxtaposition. i.e. If you're wearing a classic uptown pump from say Manolo Blahnik, tear that 'ish down with a distressed skinny jean. OR if you're wearing a polished, nude chiffon blouse, as I am above, take it down a peg with a military-inspired cargo.

Head to toe:

• MAC Russian Red Lipstick
• Elizabeth Cole Green Crystal Mohawk Earrings (no longer available, alternate color here)
• Loeffler Randall Nude Chiffon Pocket Blouse
• HUDSON Jeans Flap Pocket Cargo Skinny (gift)
• Marco Santi Tivoli Open Toe Bootie (via Hautelook...more on those TK later!)
