Concrete Catwalk: Neon Plaid

 

this might be one of my favorite outfits in a long time.
(and it all came from local shops, thrift stores & clothing swaps!)
i wore it to the grand opening party at the new kate spade store on the plaza,
and ended up buying myself a little early birthday pressie while i was there.

you guys totally buy yourself birthday treats, right?!

  1. Great casual/chic look! The leather leggings are supper sharp!

    Yes, I do buy myself birthday gifts. I thought that all women did?

    BTW... I just posted about my day wearing leather pants. Thought it might interest you? Hope you'll stop by?
