{ costume of the day } a vision softly creeping

one thing i love (and yes, sometimes hate) about living in new york is that it annually undergoes four distinct seasons; each of which offers its own reasons for me to experiment anew with my style.

thus far this fall, i've been embracing pants and knits like never before. it feels a bit like stepping into a new character, if only for a moment. let's see where this skin leads me...

for this, my final day in dottery, i decided i might as well go balls-out, as it were. open up the fashion flood gates and let all my spots spill out!



{ custom (super spot!) sunnies, the glamourai sand dune necklace (i think its circular stones count as extra polka-dots too, don't you?), vintage boy's blazer, dolce & gabbana shirt, F21 shorts, modcloth tights, balenciaga shoes }

for any of you just joining the party, i've been wearing at least two polka-dotted garments per ensemble, every day this week. it's a challenge that's required me to work a little harder at getting dressed in the morning, and to give a go at combinations outside my comfort zone. in case you missed it, here are my first four looks:

for those of you who've followed along all this way, i refresh your memory because now, it's your turn! you've got one week to send me pictures (theglamourai@gmail.com) of your own several-spot ensembles. next friday, at noon (EST) i'll pick the best of the bunch and post them on the blog for a reader-wide vote. the winner will receive an $150 credit to shop.theglamourai.com.
i can't wait to see your deftest dots!

{ costume of the day } seeing spots

remember how i said i love polka dots? it's pretty serious. in my life, they're neck-in-neck with leopard in the rumble for most essential print. in fact, the two motifs aren't so different; i consider anything spotted to be a neutral, and therefore acceptably repeatable from head to toe.

prints make me happy ~ ipso facto, the more the merrier! for the last couple weeks it's been rain.snow.rain.snow.rain in new york (as you can see by the still-wet sidewalk in these images). it's making me dotty! my coping mechanism has been to convince myself that spring is near by obsessively buying up every summery shoe in sight. methinks my wallet will be putting a stop to this pretty quick, but i feel like i can't bear to look at winter clothes any longer. though i know we've still got a few cold weeks months ahead, i'm doing my darnedest to slip a spot of spring into my step.
