{ costume of the day } variation on a theme

it wasn't until after the day had passed and i was editing this post that i realized how similar the contained ensemble is to this one ~ both feature little else but an ivory blouse and black shorts. and yet, in the details, they are so different. isn't that the amazing thing about classic, basic pieces? they can be interpreted, worn, and re-worn in a million different ways!



{ d+g sunnies, the glamourai crystallized corsage necklace, bb dakota tunic (courtesy of modcloth), j. crew belt, rachel rachel roy shorts, vintage bracelets & knuckle ring, verameat 3-finger ring, juicy couture bag, aldo shoes }

PS: i fully recognize the inherent irony in exalting "classic basics" immediately after posting THIS. but it was hot out, i had a business meeting, and just couldn't get away with full-on feathers.

PPS: ever wondered about the talented man who makes these costume posts possible? check out more of his work HERE!
