What Why Where: The Mystery Garment

It’s a dress…it’s a tunic…it’s a cloak…it’s…I don’t know what it is to be quite honest. But I’m not one for labels, anyway. Love is love!

And whatever this is, I’M LOVIN’ IT (please don’t sue, Mickey D’s).

WHAT (am I wearing):
Top(?): Christina Karin. Bodysuit: Margiela. Pants: Proenza Schouler. Shoes: Stella McCartney. Sunglasses: Celine.

WHY (am I wearing it):
Why oh why would I wear such a mystery garment? First of all…I’ve never seen anything like it. Hell I can’t even tell you what it is! I just know it’s awesome and it needed to be in my life (bonus it’s by local designer / previous CCF Loves Christina Karin). So what to wear with such a piece? I had originally envisioned this with high-waisted wide leg pants, as I thought it would lay perfectly on top. So I went with the cropped version (which you’ve seen here before) in off-white (instead of black) to break up the look. I was super close to wearing this with nothing underneath but I figured it’s November, and although it doesn’t show a ton of skin, it might be a better idea for an early-fall look…not an almost-winter-fall look. There’s a big difference, my friends. So, long story short (but not really)…the bodysuit happened. Yes, I realize I’ve worn this same bodysuit in my previous two WWW posts (re: so clutch and in the navy). But that’s why I wrote about them in the first place — they’re so versatile…how can I avoid them?! Finishing it all off with what’s pretty much my signature shoe at this point (which I typically wear in cases where I should be in heels but I opt for platform brogues instead)…and PEACE WE OUT.
