Layering has hit new levels of chic with slip dresses going over long sleeve tees and even chunky knits. With that said, what a fabulous yet warm way to continue getting wear out of slip dresses in the fall and winter. And don’t be afraid to layer this look over pants or jeans, as this will provide lots of fun options to play around with when it’s cooler outside. Likewise to stay warm I opted to wear mine with a biker jacket. Although I did debate over a long chunky knit, in the end I went with the biker jacket. Because I just cannot resist that rough and edgy vibe mixed with a delicate feminine look. And what about you, are you planning on wearing your slip dress this Fall? What are you going to layer your slip dress with?

I’ve been collecting concert tee‘s for some time now and I’ve amassed quite the collection over the years. I make it a point to only buy them when at concerts and at times I’ve had to cut myself off after seeing the same band multiple times. Case in point this Iron Maiden band tee. But I love them, and I’d wear them with anything if I could. Which leads me to a topic I’ve been wanting to write about for some time now…

I struggle when I can’t be myself. At work for example. Oftentimes I find myself wondering if I’m the only one that feels this way. I see others who seemingly have no issues wearing “work appropriate” clothing, yet I loathe every minute of when I’m not me. The Clark Kent/Superman routine after work is getting tiring. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because I’m an artist (true to the typical stereotype) and if that is why I find this limitation such an infringement of my BEING. (As I express myself visually). Do any of you struggle with having to conform to someone else’s idea of what one should wear?

Whether it be work attire or school uniforms I think that one of the most important things about being who you are is being able to express it. Or having the freedom to do so. When our ability to express ourselves is limited, it hinders our passion drives and makes for a miserable environment. That being said, I completely understand it would not be appropriate for me to walk into work waring my Iron Maiden band tee. Alas, maybe I should be at home instead, sitting on my floor in a band tee with over the knee socks, brush in hand over a canvas, Iron Maiden tunes blaring in the background. I’d be elated no doubt, just not sure that my adult bills would get paid.

“I am not a number, I am a free woman” Iron Maiden, ‘The Prisoner’ from The Number of the Beast (just changed to feminine form).

Thoughts anyone?

Was feelin’ that 70’s vibe again so I got my inner hippie out with these bell sleeves and button front denim skirt. Added a woolly knit vest because it just seemed right, being Autumn and all. I feel I should point out that these cowboy booties and saddle bag have been on repeat lately. I’m not sure that I own more comfortable shoes than these booties at the moment. Which is exactly why I’ve been wearing them so much as I wore out my everyday flats. Both pairs. And have not found a comparable replacement yet.
