If I Could I Would

Lara Stone looks amazing on the cover of Vogue Paris.  Regal and chic and out there.  The purple and red are so powerful and I love that her hair is the color of her accessories.  I didn’t notice the flower at first.  Lovely.

If I could wear this without getting fired, or arrested, or otherwise ridiculed – I totally would.  Hm.  Instead, I went through my closet and made up my own, pretty-much-not-too-psycho weekend version of the look (color palate and tone, anyway).  Cute for going out, maybe?  I so would have worn this when I was at Bard.  Probably with jeans, too.  I learned that from Nicola.   (Slip and bag – Dior; purple body suit and flower – H&M; braided leather belt – Akira; gold and silver leaf necklace – Bahgsu Jewels; grey Oxford boots – Vince Camuto.)
