my style

let’s go shopping

41 Comments

i have to admit something. if i could, i might wear this plaid top with this cashmere cardigan and a pair of skinny jeans every day. something about the colder weather and the end of the semester has got me a little down, and it just makes me feel like being lazy and wearing some glorified version of pajamas all the time. since that isn’t quite acceptable, i can always fall back on this simple combination. then if i have to go out, i can swap out the jeans for a little skirt, some patterned tights and heels, and i’m ready to go!

yesterday was just one of those occasions. i got an incredibly late start after an evening of talking with friends and inadvertently drinking almost an entire bottle of wine, and i kinda just rolled out of bed and threw on the ol’ uniform to go out to breakfast. then i remembered that i had plans to go shopping in san francisco with the lovely jennie of going west. fortunately, i managed to pull myself together in time to hit a few shops with her and to do a little impromptu photo shoot on the roof before the sun set entirely. jennie took my photos for this post, and isn’t it silly how nervous i look? i’m so accustomed to getting photographed by my boyfriend that i get camera shy around almost everyone else.

anyway, it was good times! we went to the vintage shops on haight st. and i found an adorable cream blouse with lace details and a peter pan collar (which i am wearing today) while jennie found the most amazing lace blazer ever. then we went to the north beach/china town area where jennie took me to a cute little vegan restaurant before meeting up with shannon at indie industries, where i got a cool pair of patterned tights, which i am also wearing today. not bad.



wearing:
vintage plaid shirt, thrifted
cashmere cardigan, j.crew
polyester micro-fiber tulip skirt, american apparel
little heart tights, tabio
platform ankle boots, payless
vintage coach purse, thrifted

all photos by jennie of going west.

  3. You are one fantastic dresser. Plaid shirts and mini skirts are among one of the best combinations ever since they look great and are so comfy!

  6. I hate to say but I'm going through an outfit slump. I'm very tempted to get rid of all my jeans. But I do feel awesome when I can get a decent outfit together.

  7. I love your outfit, especially the much too covetable heart tights and the perfect ankle boots. You have the prettiest dresses in your etsy store right now, but of course, I was too slow. Your blog also makes me miss California a lot, even though it gets a little dreary around the this time in the Bay Area.

  20. I love your outfit and your hair! I saw an editorial in Lula that made me want to cut mine like that, but I don't think it would suit me as well as it does you.

  24. Well you certainly do not look like you threw yourself together! I do the exact same thing in winter….I always want to wear the same cozy sweater with everything. It is almost like dressing is a bit more tedious when the climate is cold!

    I love how you mixed the patter of your shirt and tights…it looks incredible!

  28. You make this combination look so easy to wear and put together! But I do know it's not, at least for me, the proportions have to be kind to each other.

    You look great Erin!

  37. Omg, I never find anything in aardvarks! Lucky ladies. And static is the best. That's where I found my YSL blazer I wore to our blogger meetup.

    So your tights are quite lovely. And your looks, so simple, so lovely. We all need to get together. Are we still on for the 22nd?

    xx.

  41. One of my favorite outfit of yours… the tights are beautiful, and it doesn't hurt that I happen to own the same pair of heels ;)
