You know when you just bought something, you can’t wait to wear it, and you’ll do everything in your power to make an outfit work based around that one thing? That’s how I felt about these Elizabeth and James boots. I had my eye on them for some time, but when Shopbop had their Friends & Family sale, I was like “Carpe Diem!” and I now own one of the most impractical items a Chicagoan can possess…white boots.
Although they can be tricky to capture, I wanted try some night time style photos for What Why Where. These were taken last week before the Burberry party (so if you thought I took photos the same day I posted them, you’re wrong…and I’m sorry) and this is almost my exact outfit for the event. Can you spot the difference?
I typically don’t incorporate that much menswear into my wardrobe. I do have some “menswear inspired” pieces, a few unisex t-shirts but that’s really it. Today, I’m wearing a piece of menswear in this What Why Where feature. Can you guess what it is?
I’m declaring today official Burberry day. And here’s why.
First and foremost it’s the Burberry store opening party tonight, and by the looks of the gorgeous invitation…it’s going to be a good one. To go along with the big event, Burberry launched their Art of the Trench project in Chicago, shot by photographers Amy Creyer and Tim Klein. This campaign was once photographed by Scott Schuman of the Sartorialist, so it’s very exciting to have something like this right here in Chicago. And as a side note, I wanted to thank Burberry for including me in such a great project. You rock…and so do your trenches.
Like I’ve mentioned in the past, I always say I will wear hats and I never do. Well it looks like things are turning around for me.
