Flattened + Frayed

8.22.2012


 Blouse c/o Haute Hippie (similar here), 
Thrifted American Apparel cut-off shorts, 
Alexander Wang crossbody bag (last seen here), 
Coach snakeskin flats (similar style here), 
Mossimo belt.

There's something slightly different happening in this post. Can you guess? Lauren is in flats! Though when she proudly displayed her choice in footwear I did point out that I've seen her around town this summer numerous times in sandals without a heel, but apparently that's totally different because they're not closed toe. I suppose she has a point.

What I love most about this outfit though is this Haute Hippie top. The watercolor-esque floral print is gorgeous and surprise, open back! It goes perfectly with another new item in her closet, these perfectly frayed, black cut-off shorts. I don't know about you but when she showed these to me it was like a light went off...THAT'S what my extensive cut-off shorts collection has been missing! Seriously. I need to make a trip to the thrift store ASAP and create a pair of my own.

xx, M

    Micol I totally agree about the top, it's just lovely: I said a little "wow" to myself when I saw the back!!! Lauren looks soo cute in the flats, not so fierce but still just as gorgeous of course (it's the amazing legs)!

    Oh and Micol I've been doing some photo tips posts recently - I've given your blog a shout out today as one with great photography... thanks for all the great images as well as Lauren's amazing style since I've been following you guys!! You're both very inspirational!
