Graffiti Prep


I did this whole photo shoot without noticing that there was a smiley face painted on the tree behind me. When I noticed it, during photo edits, I have to say...I kind of like this random smiley face adorning foliage in the middle of the city! And the free-wheeling, smile-sharing ruffians who vandalized public space even spray-painted the face; they didn't cut it into the tree. Landscape loving looters on a lark!

Oh, and, right, I wore some clothes, too. I'm crazy about these tights I picked up at Mint Julep! If it is going to be autumn, and I am going to have to start wearing tights, then please, let me wear tights like these. And can we talk about this prepster-ific sweater? I saw this baby from across a crowded room at a swap and, with light feet and nimble fingers, it was mine (wait, that sounds like I shoplifted it - I didn't, it was a swap.)! Anyway, this was the first outfit to really get me in the mood for autumn - as I strolled through the park, the trees seemed to be smiling at me...


Skirt: Corey Lynn Halter via Mint Julep
Denim Shirt: Target
Sweater: Ralph Lauren, (Swapped !)
Tights: Milly for Hue via Mint Julep
Shoes: BCBG
Necklace: Birthday gift from my girlfriend, Kara (purchased at Boutique Fabulous, I think)

    I love a good cable-knit, and I like the way you styled it in an unexpected way :)

  4. Hahahaha, this post made me laugh; I didn't notice the smiley face - that's too cute! Great green sweater - I tried on a similar shade of green in a knit at Anthropologie on Newbury yesterday but alas, it was not meant to be.
    Looking forward to meeting you in person tonight!

  6. I love the colors. I've been seeing a lot of yellow, wines, grey's and oranges lately. This is a great way to shake things up but still be fitting for fall. I love the way you mixed the stripes and the patterned tights. Plus, the square toe on the shoe's is something I adore. Square toes have a very retro feel to them for me, and I love retro. xoxo
