It is official! I am in love. With black+brown. Ah, the happiness it brings me. I guess the color combo just suits me well. I also think that wearing neutrals makes my less-than-ordinary outfits stand out a bit less when walking down the street or walking into a coffee shop. Sometimes having people stare gets a bit obnoxious. No, I am not wearing a T-shirt and jeans, staring people. :D
On another note... Spats! I am so obsessed with them now. I found this particular pair at an antique mall. They are fleece lines and keep my legs incredibly warm. I can't believe I've never worn them until this Fall. In. Love.
Outfit details:
Dress: thrifted
Hat: Hidden Pearl Vintage (Cuyahoga Falls, OH)
Shoes: Rampage 07
Spats: Medina Antique Mall
I thought it would be fun to include what I wore on this same day last year. I would still wear this today- except I sold the blouse and the jacket in my shop.
Love love both of these. I used to hate wearing Black and Brown as a young girl, but these days I like the combination.

Brown and black is one of my most favorite color combos! I've always wanted to try a pair of spats... I just like the way they look. It never occurred to me that they would also keep my legs warm. That's even more reason to get a pair!

Maybe you've divulged this information already, but what kind of red lipstick is that? It's basically a perfect shade.

Oh, too cute! I have to say - spats have always intrigued but scared me. I've never seen them look so cute! :)
