Music To My Ears

Hey, there! This will be a short post since I'm only wearing a couple new things. The brown wrap coat is from ModCloth and I was lucky enough to get it on final sale. It's BB Dakota and it was called the "In Full Force Coat" on the website. I always feel a bit like a ninja whenever I tie that black belt. ^___^

Admittedly, it isn't the warmest coat and I would have preferred a thicker, heavier coat on this bitingly cold and windy evening. However, this is the only brown coat I own and I felt the vintage dress underneath required an earthy color as a compliment. Black and grey could have been too boring.

You may remember the vintage fur hat from this previous post. My hands were pretty icy even in my gloves, but my ears were nice and warm thanks to the hat. :D I love pretty much all things from the 80s, so of course I adore this little beauty. ^_^ It's for sale in my Etsy store, too! Click here for more details!

I believe this plaid dress is from the late 50s, early 60s based on the brand tag
and overall style.
I received the dress earlier this year from a girl in my swap group. I have to say, she has impeccable taste in clothing. The dress is very well made and the colors and patterns are so perfect for Fall.

The navy and maroon colors remind me of the sky when the sun is setting. I don't know why, but they just do. Sometimes garments exude certain emotions and I pick up on those feelings. I guess it's a little bit like when people say such and such "spoke to me." Well, I really like what this dress has to say. ;D

Blogger Spotlight #5: The Belted Pear

Meet Lindsey Dish of The Belted Pear

Lindsey and I found each other on Chictopia and instantly hit it off. I love how she mixes colors and patterns!

There's an edginess to a lot of her looks that I really dig. Take this first look, for example. I would never think to combine sequins with multi-directional stripes. Even if I did, I doubt I'd be able to make the combo look this good!

You'll notice Lindsey wearing the same flats in each photo. Seeing stuff like that makes me smile, because I know I have a few pieces in my closet that are destined for disrepair from constant wear because I love them so much. I don't know why, but little things like that make me like Lindsey even more. ^_^

I love the textures in this second outfit. The black vest seems to change hue based on the lighting so it has this awesome sheen that works with the more subdued glow in the crimson skirt. This is such a simple pairing, but the overall look is quite commanding.

I like how Lindsey wears all of her outfits with confidence and ease.  She would definitely stand out in a crowd and I think she would totally bask in the stares. ;D

If you can, please visit Lindsey's blog and say, 'hello!' This super stylish teacher living in South Korea would love to hear from you!
You can also keep up with her on Instagram and Pinterest!
