I bought this cardigan for 2 euro because it's warm and chunky but still light, and I love the collegiate vibe it gives off. Of course I had to pair it with one of my plaid skirts and a band T (the Beatles, my eternal love). Simple, comfy and cute! I like how all of these pieces "fit" together, they all refer to a certain type of girl and a certain type of subculture, making sure it all works together. I still have that clear image in my mind of what I want to look like, and sixties/collegiate/girly/modest/slight edge is still the way I'd describe it! I don't think I've ever been as certain about the way I wanted to look, and I love it. Having a "look" totally makes not buying stuff you don't need so much easier: I just go "does this fit my thang", and if it doesn't, I walk away without a doubt in my mind. Of course, when something DOES fit my ideal, it is a lot harder to say no. I've been eying this parka on ASOS, but I want to wait until I just CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE because I'm in control like that. Except that I am not.
:(
And I still adore my hair and the way it edgifies (totally made up that word just now, I like doing that) any outfit. And I'm at that length again where I get all uncertain about whether I should go for somewhat shorter when I get my hair cut next time, or keep it longer. I like it both in different ways, what can I say!

I'm loving your thang, lol! I really like this cardigan though, it kinda reminds me of cricket (well in australia anyway) but in a good way, cos i hate that game. anyway yep, you're really one of the only ppl that can pull this ensemble off so well ;) xo
ReplyDelete♪Love love love♪
ReplyDelete..haha, get it? Love your outfit, and The Beatles, and it's a Beatles song... yah ;)
That cardigan is so lovely! It looks so cuddly, it looks like that thick kind of cotton knit that's heavy but works in summer. Know what I mean?
Love your shoes too!
M xo

You are rockin' quite a Vibe here, it's true. But it really isn't anything that's been done before, it that makes sense. Because you aren't preppy, you aren't punky, you aren't collegiate... it's a nice mishmash of each. You're, k'know, YOU! Annebeth! This outfit is so quintessentially you. Very cute :D
ReplyDeleteI love the feel of this outfit!! You look so awesome, i love the band t with that plaid skirt. Sooo cute!! Such a great look

There is so much to love about this look. all the pieces are fabulous on their own, but what a great idea to combine them. The t-shirt looks so phenomenal, i don’t like the Beatles, but I like this t-shirt. The skirt looks divine, I always love English/Scottish influences. And that cardigan, the white and the red looks stunning. What can I say more, it is not my style but I love it.
ReplyDeleteThe T-shirt is gorgeous and I love how you paired it with a plaid skirt and the cardi fits just perfectly! xxx

Love those shoes :)
ReplyDeleteI am ever so "controlled" in my wardrobial spending too. I'll get all antsy when I want something bad and all the while I am indignant at how needful yet another piece of cloth seems. That parker is pretty cool though :)
How fantastic is that: I love, love the Beatles and I have a skirt exactly like that, ahhhhhhhhhhh

I love this outfit! I'm also a diehard Beatles fan (I have a tattoo with a quote from Lovely Rita), so any incorporation of a Beatles shirt into a pretty outfit has my vote!
