While perusing the J.Crew catalog (even though I unsubscribed to save paper. Should be acknowledged in 56-83 weeks), I found this inspiring shirt:
I love everything about it: the crisp white, the crystal bib necklace, the nude lip, and the signature rat’s nest hair, which I personally think I have perfected. The only thing I’m NOT a fan of is the $225 price tag. Every day this fall, I want to wear a men’s white v-neck tee or tank, a black blazer, and some version of this crystal bow necklace (oh. and pants). I LOVE the LNA white v-necks because they’re so soft, but $50 is too steep. I’m sure Target has some good ones though. My black tuxedo blazer is by Max Azria but that’s another easy-ish one to find on eBay.
The LAST part is finding the bib necklace. I realized, when I saw this pic, that my friend Reagan (click here to see her blog AND her bib necklace in the profile pic) mentioned once she collects these vintage treasures. So, I got to work finding (affordable) options on ebay:
This was just a quick search, but there are a few I might purchase. I’m actually really in love with the feather one, although I wouldn’t typically consider myself a feathery kind of girl. Flighty maybe, but not feathery…
Anyway, if these are looking a little too Claire’s Boutique to you and remind you of sophomore year school dances, just remember that they’re from China and probably the real shit.
