white jeans in winter, 4 ways
no one better tell me that you can’t wear white after labor day, i can and i will! we’re lucky enough in southern california that there are plenty of tee shirt days still left in the year, but even if there weren’t i have no prolem layering on some sweaters and boots! here’s 4 ways i’ll be wearing my tight whites this winter. {these jeans are from jcrew and are my favorite to date- i’ve had them for years and miraculously have yet to completely ruin them!}
1. sweater: anthropologie (on sale now!), hat: jcrew panama hat, bag: heather heron, booties: steven by steve madden, watch: nixon via shopbop, bracelets: gorgana, stella and dot
2. coat: asos (similar), hot pink heels: ted baker (old), watch: marc jacobs (similar), bracelets: jcrew (old) & stella and dot, earrings: tory burch, bag: lauren merkin,
3. sweater: anthropologie(sold out online but may be on sale in stores!), boots: jeffrey campbell, bag: heather heron
4. coat: emerson made, boots: frye (old), belt: jcrew (similar), bag: foley and corinna (similar), glasses: claire’s boutique

do you ever get sad that you’ll probably never get to go to the oscar’s in an amazing marchesa gown? i do too. on the bright side, isn’t this photo amazing! {by ormond gigli, 1960}
would you color coordinate your dogs?
we didn’t color match these two on purpose (nugget came from under a car after all), but i couldn’t be happier with how they look like sisters from another mother. all future dogs shall be color coordinated. is that weird obsessive compulsive talk or would you do it too? fess up.
pleather leggings: i love you, i hate you
dear pleather leggings,
do you see my face in this picture? i look confused. kind of happy, but kind of not. and it’s totally your fault. i’ve seen you on the likes of kate moss (ok, she was wearing your wealthier, better looking cousin) and you looked so fine. so i tried to channel her and picked up a pair of you. but instead of looking all slinky and rocker and cool and kate-moss-ish, i look like a weirdo who got dressed in the dark (and ate kate moss). i have only you to blame. because obviously this wasn’t a weird fashion identity crisis on my part. it was you, luring me into rockerville with your rubbery promises of sexy goodness. but like a bad boyfriend who feels oh so right, i know you’re not. you’re going back where you came from! and i hope some skinny minny rocker girl scoops you up right away, and i hope you don’t bunch at her knees and crotch in quite the same awkward way. because i believe in you pleather, i have seen how great you can be.
love, sarah yates
*these leggings can be found here. boots: jeffery campbell via shopbop (love these so much!), shirt: chaser via shopbop (also love this soft shirt)
