Hi, there! :D I thought I'd take a stab at doing another monochromatic outfit using different shades of brown. This is a largely remixed outfit (surprise, surprise hehe). I last wore the vintage brown cardigan and thrifted brown boots in this post. The vintage cream floral collar blouse is a new addition to my wardrobe. I bought it at the same time that I bought this vintage white blouse. Both blouses had long sleeves and I had the sleeves removed by a tailor. That way, I could make greater use of the collars. ;P

I realize that the vintage blouses are very similar, but both of their collars are sufficiently unique.
I was particularly drawn to the cut-outs on the cream blouse. I love that extra bit of contrast. <3

The jackalope tee is a new addition, also. You probably remember it from this post in which I salivated over it. Hehe. Yes, I *finally* got something from my XMAS wish list. It was on sale, also. Yippee! *^_^* The pattern was just too cute to pass up. This shirt will get a lot of wear in the months to come!

By the way, it's getting SUPER cold now, you guys. o_O O_o Fall is officially here! Stay warm! <3

Thrifted - Vintage Brown Cardigan, Cream Vintage Blouse & Brown Boots
Levi's - Light Brown High Waisted Skinny Jeans
Warby Parker - Dark Brown Ombre Glasses
Threadless - Jackalope T-Shirt

♫ Thank you so much for your comments! Though I may not respond to each one, I read and appreciate all of them! ♫

This is suuuuperrr beautiful <3
I love all those delicious shades of browns.

This outfit made me fantasize about a Jackalope character in Beatrix Potter's lovely stories... *o* <3
They'd definitely wear a similar collar as you are wearing ;)

The top is so sweet! I loved it! It reminds me of Christmas, yes! And the collar underneath is so lovely! I like your looks this way, with kind of one color scheme, cream and brown. I loved the boots and the cardi and I think you look beautiful!

I play in a band called the Button collective, and the uniform is "brown and folky". This outfit would be perfect! :D

There is something about this shade of brown that just works for me. I love the collar detail and your pairing with those booties.
