Outfit Sounds: Blurred Lines

JACQUEMUS /  SPORTMAX  / ALEXANDER WANG  

I am into this notion of showing a sliver of belly skin. Not in an overexposed Britney Spears kind of way, but more of a grown up infusing some unexpected sex appeal to an every day outfit. The whole thing reads very tame, but it's that half inch of crop that makes it slightly retro and incredibly modern at the same time. I'd do this with a pencil skirt, because if you're going to be a little bit sexy on top I like to keep the rest of it buttoned up. Except for the shoes, go all out with those. Sexy, strappy, Alexander Wang heels. It's like a thong for your feet. Enjoy the music in this post because it's been stuck in my head for weeks. 
The safe-for-work video is mesmerizing.

"When I make me so damn easy to love"

I guess I couldn't help posting a short photo set as a teaser for what is to come later this week. After all, it's Halloween this week right smack in the middle of the week. If I had to dress up I'd most likely be Beyonce in her "Why Don't you love me?" video. Why? Because it's so damn cool, retro, and apparently most of the clothes were her own. I'd have to practice that Bettie Page dance, though, because despite the easy enough nature of the gyrations, once you get yourself trying it in front of a mirror it looks pretty damn silly if there isn't 100% commitment to the un-sexy dance. 

Wearing: Juicy Couture sweater, Anthropologie headband, and not much else so far. Want a tip? Own a lint brush with this sweater.

There was a point on Saturday that the summer heat in San Francisco got so hot it necessitated a break along the shadier side streets of Jackson Square. For the first time in a while it was almost humid in the city. That all changed, of course, as soon as the bay winds picked up. People got their layers out, and eventually even some parkas made an appearance for the rest of the evening.
