Grays & Blues


As expected, this weekend was extremely dreary, with the sun only coming out for small periods of time.  It was the perfect weekend to pull out shades of gray and blue, in my opinion.  The good news is that we spent the yucky weekend getting things done around the house, including painting our dining room, ordering moulding and picking out flooring for our next project: the guest bathroom.  Maybe I should wish for rain more often.


Poncho/Cape: Boutique from Paris from a few years ago (Similar options here & here)
Pants: Madewell (pant version sold out; Short version here)
Jewels: Bracelets- Kirna Zabete for Target (Similar); Earrings- Vintage
Bag: Chanel (Vintage)
Shoes: Miu Miu (Similar version here & here)

P.S. I don't know if any of you saw over the weekend through my instagram, but I decided to start listing some of my things in the SHOP A's Fashion Files section of my blog.  I wear most of my things only 1x and this is a good way for me to fund my shopping addiction and for some of you guys to add something to your wardrobe for a good price if you see something you like!  I've only listed 2 pairs of shoes right now but promise to continue to add more soon.  You can see the items here. :)

  4. Love that poncho/cape, Allison! And that's the good thing with bad weather, eh? Forces us to do stuff around the house, which for me, really is "forced"...bwahaha!

  28. Sometimes I am in awe of your shoe collection. For example, these shoes are fantastic. But then I picture myself walking in them, and I can hear being rushed to the ER for an x-ray for a broken or twisted ankle! They look fantastic on you!

    1. aww thanks, Maiken. I think I wear most things only once because I shop WAY TOO MUCH. I have to make room in my closet for new things and make donations once a month. My new blog shop is an effort to make a little bit of money back! :)

  39. The heels are so cute! Painting is definitely a rainy weekend project, so exciting to hear that you're going to be getting the guest room done, I'm now going to try and maybe decorate my own room.

    ou're right. We. Are. Style. Twins. Enough said, the moment I saw the polka dot cardi and those boots, I almost cried in envy! They're perfect and I love the way you brought everything together with the bright red skirt.
