Mod Mama

Kiliwatch Paris Vintage Denim Dress (here or here)/ Stuart Weitzman OTK Boots / Cambridge Satchel x Vivienne Westwood Crossbody

I swoon for most things denim and/or tent-like. So when I spotted this "coat dress" while vintage shopping in Paris, I had to have it. In pristine condition, this distinct mod-inspired piece could be worn as a jacket or a dress like I did here. Stiff, dark denim with seam detailing and exaggerated collar had me weak at the knees. What could be taken in a dated direction, I pushed it to a more modern interpretation (true to form) by pairing it with over the knee suede boots and a classic mini satchel. Unbutton the bottom for a little leg or not, this look could take you from the streets of NYFW to brunching in Brooklyn.

Corded

Alice McCall Corduroy Coveralls / Vince Turtleneck / Stuart Weitzman OTK Boots

I hate being cold, but I love the fabrics that come with winter! Corduroy, suede, velvet, wool, there's a richness to them all that adds a gorgeous depth to your look. Corduroy may bring up visions of ill fitting bootcut pants that you wore in the 7th grade, but thankfully designers like Alice McCall have found new and innovative ways to use the fabric. Love me some overalls and especially the exaggerated culotte leg on this pair! Because of the thick cord fabric, I keep the other pieces of the look very thin. A cotton turtleneck and tight suede boots are chic compliments for the overalls result in a look that is cool and easy. Shop the links above to get the look and don't be afraid to dive into your winter fabrics!
