100 Days of Shoes - Day 13 & 14- Southern Neon Pride!

I apologize for the brief hiatus.  I went on vacation to Florida for a week and then with all the scarf orders I had to fill and the Raven's Super Bowl excitement I haven't had a second to myself to sit down and write.  Here's a few posts in one, in an attempt to catch up.  Florida inspired looks coming soon!

Day 13 and summer is starting to peak through the glorious winter clouds that have covered Baltimore for the last months...well at least the sun is out.  Sooo....LETS BREAK OUT SOME NEON!!! Lets start at ground level.  Slip on Converse Allstars are a summer classic.  I prefer finding some with a twist, no reason to wear the ones every other kid from Boston to LA is rocking.  I found these at an Off Saks outlet and instantly fell in love with the laces.

For some summer fun the neon yellow skinny jeans from Levi are step number 1. 

Step 2, throw on a white v-neck and military inspired cardigan from Burberry.  The detailing on this cardigan is epic. From the buttons to the shoulder armor, Burberry once again thought of everything!

Step 3, find some shades.  Today I went with these retro inspired tortoise Zara sunnies with  metal rims.  Found these babies in Spain for 10 Euros.  Can't beat that.

Down with Drab!

Love. Sivad.

Day 14 was a lovely frigid Baltimore winter nod to my fashionable Southern roots.  Mildly heinous, sure, but I love reaching for the unexpected.  It all started off with this pair of Black Timberland Boots with red stitching...I originally found these shoes back in Freshman year at a Timberland outlet in Florida.  I thought "wouldn't those be perfect for hockey games?!?!"  School colors and wintry?  So needed.  I'm fairly certain I only wore them at a max of 5 times during my 5 years at Northeastern but hey; if a shoe might have a purpose I MUST purchase it!!

So where does this become 'Southern' you ask? Don't worry!  There was plenty of plaid and camo to go around!  Starting from the ground up I started with my flannel lined Levi's.  Absolutely essential for winter! And they give the option to be cute and flip out the pattern if you so desire to make a splash.  Next I went with a plaid flannel drawstring jacket I purchased at Zara in Paris during January sales.  At 7 Euros I had to have it!  Just to get a dash more plaid in this dizzying outfit I went for the grey exploded print Burberry Scarf.

To top the whole thing off...what is more Southern then a camo 'Davis Express' trucker hat from Goodwill??? I challenge you to find something more authentic!

Southern till I die.
