it may have been 20 degrees today, but that didn't stop me from wearing a short skirt. i wish my long cardigan was more like jenny's, but oh well, it's best to make do with what you have. i didn't consciously intend to wear purple tights with a purple coat, but goodness, that's a lot of purple! anyway, there's nothing better than riding my bike to work. 6 minutes on the bike versus 15 minutes by foot? hm.what i wore today:
jcrew liberty print shirt
theory merino wool cardigan
theory denim miniskirt
falke tights
lyell peacoat
frye paige riding boots
oh... i love this outfit! purple tights are so great... i should probably wear some soon! isn't riding your bike in a miniskirt the best! (especially when it's not so cold... but, either way... there's something so great about it!) those boots are amazing.
ReplyDeleteoh, that outfit is adorable! i like your cardigan. also, i like all that purple! it's unexpected. you're so darn cute.
ReplyDeleteThis is my daily question - to walk (20 mins) or bike (10 mins)? I live in Cambridge, too - just over near Inman Square and go to the Ed school. My fashion this year has seriously slipped because I usually decide to bike which means more sensible shoes and few skirts and a little sweaty forehead.
ReplyDeletei used to live near Inman Square, right on the Cambridge/Somerville line. i miss grabbing punjabi dhaba on my walk home, but i still go there all the time.
ReplyDeletei have a hard time finding nice outfits for the bike, too, so it's usually jeans tucked into boots, a button down shirt, cardigan, and coat. i used to wear skirts and dresses all the time, but they aren't very good on a bicycle. the miniskirt is a bit too short, but with thick sweater tights i don't feel so exposed. i love going to vintage, etc. and buying new tights.
i know people who are afraid of bicycling because of the crazy drivers and terrible weather (it's either humid or freezing), but i love the extra mobility. last summer i started biking to boston rather than take the bus or T, and it was liberating.
great outfit erica! I love the purple. Aren't Falke tights the best?! I wish I had a pair in every colour and texture!
ReplyDeletehot!
ReplyDeletethat's right, matthew, aren't you sad you're in oregon and missing out?
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit.
ReplyDeleteyou are quite the stylish lady!
ReplyDeleteMethinks you look adorable in that short skirt and boots.
