Sooooo I ordered these babies for 7£ on the New Look website after ALMOST buying them in the store at full price (19.99£), so luck! I had been DYING for a chunky mary jane after missing out on those perfect Miu Miu knockoffs by F21.
So yes, these were basically like a bday (tomorrow!) gift from GOD HIMSELF YO! I'm not religious, but one cannot deny the power of chunky mary janes. I mean, the Mary-part must have SOME religious connotation, right?! I find them deliciously 90's and totally something Cher Horowitz would wear. I can't seem to find them online anymore, but you can get them in nude or white patent here. I wore them with the bow sweater, a bow headband and my favorite pleated skirt for a modern take on fifties inspiration.
My exam went good I guess, I'm bad at assessing these kinds of things. We had just a little space to write which always makes me doubt whether I'm focusing on the right things. N.E.WAY I'm sure I did well. Now I'm going to enjoy a calm evening to repower my batteries for the next crammin' session! Thank y'all for your lovely comments, I have no idea how I earned such amazing followers :-) I hope I brighten your day a bit when you visit my blog!
sweater: H&M
headband: don't remember
skirt: T2 vintage
shoes: New Look
PS: Also bought these for 10£
PPS: Watching King Kong right now. I love that movie, perfect blend of genres. Adventure, romance, horror, drama. I always get so sad when they capture King Kong. I even cry a bit at the end.
Lovely outfit, the shirt is so pretty and the color of it too. I like the new shoes they are too cute. I also have a weakness for Mary Janes, I used to own a pair back in the 90's and I used to love them, they actually looked like the Forever 21 ones (the black ones) but the heel was not as high. I really want a pair of the Forever 21 ones, I drool.
ReplyDeleteThe lace up floral brogue shoes are way too cute too, I can't decide if they actually suit my personality or not yet, so I haven't bought myself a pair...maybe soon if I fall in love enough with them :)
I love the brogues! - the mary janes too, of course :) - Bought similar derbies at RI a while back but haven't worn them much yet so I look forward to seeing how you mix and match them for some inspiration x
ReplyDeleteLOVEEE those Mary Janes what a bargain!!!

Oooh, the top is so cute. I love how the colour doesnt exactly match the red in the skirt but still works really well. And the bow with the little trim totally compliments the straps on those AWESOME shoes!

Yes!! Love both pairs of new shoes!! :) Glad your exam went well.
ReplyDeletethe combination of the sweater and the skirt is divine. it creates a kind of fashion paradox: the sweater is really girly and sweet. but the skirt is bolder and has more balls! perfect with the black stylish 40's heels. oh and so glad you had a good exam, good luck girl
ReplyDeleteThe mary janes are really cute (and definitely religious) but mannnnn.... I want the brogues! I really can only think about flat shoes in the summer!
ReplyDeleteMooie schoenen! En leuke outfit :)
ReplyDeleteIk had ook bijna die met bloemetjes besteld, jammer genoeg hadden ze mijn maat niet meer... Kheb dan maar andere gekozen, ook met florals :) Voor £10, gotta love New Look ;)
The flats are so cute! Gongrats to you for passing the exams. Love you with the longer hair!
ReplyDeleteI think there is an argument here for founding a religious creed based upon worshiping the awesome might of the Mary-Jane. As a non-religious person too, that is one faith I could definitely get excited about! x
ReplyDeleteLove these Mary Janes, what an amazing find indeed :) A bit jealous, but you deserve them 'cause it's yo birthday! ;)
