The nice thing about high and low dressing is that a couple of well-made and expensive looking items pretty much make the outfit. Consider the plain Zara t-shirt. The color is lovely, yes, but it's definitely nothing more than a plain t-shirt, and the wax coated pants are if anything pretty basic. What makes anything about this outfit mine and maybe even memorable in my mind are a pair of well chosen accessories and contrasting fabrics. The Tibi mules, with the standout embellishments that make them a special sort of mule, and the J. Crew blazer in a plaid grandpa-esque fabric (that is insanely well made!) plays with the olive tones in a fun masculine way.

Electric Youth

This was my Super Bowl day outfit. There was so much testosterone in the air that my outfit was inspired by masculine fabrics and touches. It turned my feminine pleated skirt  more neutral in an electric neon green, topped off by a  chambray shirt tied in a bow lieu of a belt, Raybans versus my typical cat eye, and of course, the irresistible Dior water lilly nail polish that has not come off my nails for weeks (I reapply, of course, but I have no desire to put something else on.) The shoes are DKNY, pretty much the most comfortable bondage-looking strappy sandal. They were a steal on Net-A-Porter.

Did I watch the game? No, I did not watch the game, but instead sat on the couch and watched Drive. That movie, awesome. Soundtrack? Even better.
