BOOT CAMP

DRESS: NO LONGER AVAILABLE | BOOTS: CARTE BLANCHE | BAG: CHANEL | SUNGLASSES: CHANEL 

Olive is the new neutral in fall trends. It's showing up on every runway with military & utilitarian accents.

Army green is an interesting tone & goes well with nudes. I paired my caged nude thigh high boots with a simple dress. The soft rouching and asymmetrical cut adds detail without making too much of a statement and distracting from the eye-catching boots. I often argue with my sister about the shade of this calfskin Chanel bag. I say it's brown, she calls it green. I don't know who is color blind! :P

But it almost looks like a brownish-green. I have a feeling this olive inspired shade is here to stay.

TOM FORD RUNWAY INSPIRATION

COAT: VINTAGE | HAT: PRIMARK | TANK: PRIMARK | SHOES: LUST FOR LIFE | BAG: TOM FORD

Remember Tom Ford's SS14 No. 61 sequinned jersey dress? And remember Tom Ford's FW14 thigh high lace boots? Well, I found two pieces recently that, when paired together, reminded me only of this one designer. This outfit was definitely inspired head-to-peep toe by Tom Ford. I paired these Lust For Life "fly" boots from Remix Clothing Co. with a sequin tank that I found at Primark a few weeks ago for a few pounds. And to finish the look, added my Tom Ford "Charlotte" medium leather tote. The zippers on this bag are gold and very bold. 

Topped off with my mom's vintage camel coat, this look is perfect for dinner or a night out if you want something different than a dress and some pumps. 

The original Tom Ford lace up boots & sequinned jersey dress cost a whole lot more than my inspired look. 

REAL: TOM FORD Lacey Over-The-Knee Boots $3,600

STEAL: LUST FOR LIFE "Fly" Thigh High Lace Boots $250

REAL: TOM FORD Sequin Jersey Dress $6,500

STEAL: PRIMARK UK "84" Sequin Tank $20

What do you think of my inspired look?

P.S. The TF inspired boots are still available & can be purchased HERE. And the Tom Ford "Charlotte" medium tote can be purchased HERE.
