{ costume of the day } talisman

confession: i wear my glamourwrap A LOT. so much so that it would quickly become embarrassing if i posted every time i put it on. i don it when i'm working, and rock it around the house after a shower. i throw it on to run to the market to make whatever i've got on feel more 'together' and i wear it to just about every single sunday brunch or late night party i attend. it just always works.

i wear it so much that sometimes it ceases to feel newsworthy. as such, this outfit is a few days old (if you read my twitter feed, you know that my hair now looks more like this), but it's indicative of what i'm wearing when i'm not posting:


i bought this shirt on a recent trip out east. the glamour guy and i were in the john varvatos store ~ shopping for him ~ but when i saw this oh-so-soft silk shirt, with its inverted collar and ribbon trim, i knew it had to be for me. it has since become the second most-worn piece in my wardrobe.

in this instance, my uniform is made more special with some custom jewels, a beaded bag, and two layers of tights: one matte black pair under grey lace.

{ versace sunnies, h+m beanie, self-designed glamourwrap, john varvatos men's shirt, vintage skirt + clutch, f21 tights, custom jewels (rings available now at shrimpton couture!), aldo shoes }

i've got good news for all of you who like the look: a fresh crop of black glamourwraps will be hitting the shrimpton couture store this coming monday. if you've been waiting for one, this is your chance!
