Debut

I stumbled upon this blue and gold button down shirt
a few months back while in a thrift store.

Salt Works jeans - Marc by Marc Jacobs button down shirt -
Urban Expressions bag - Fergalicious beige pumps
I liked it because there is nothing in my closet like it.
It is not something I would wear, which seemed appealing as
it would be "out of my comfort zone".
Another reason I probably bought it is because of the brand:
Marc by Marc Jacobs.
Gold toned and rhinestone buckle belt vintage - made in Italy

This morning I took it out on its debut.
The shirt is itchy because of the gold threading...
I feel it is a little loud but I think it was what I was looking for:
Unexpectedly Lorena.

Just because sometimes I am just too predictable.

    It's really unexpected, but I think it's very chic and really suits you!
    I also love your shoes.

    I agree with Katha - you stepped outside your comfort zone, and this is a beautiful result. The color is so pretty on you! Come on over and post at Visible Monday, if you get a chance!

    Definitely a bold top - and I love that you are stepping out of your comfort zone.
    Lately I feel like all I want to wear is black, tan, red, leopard, and stripes.

    But I suppose it's worth noting that a few years ago leopard and stripes were out of my comfort zone.

    Chic on the Cheap

    That's a lot of shirt! I like how you paired it with a simple pair of jeans.

    What an amazing shirt! The pattern is so bold that I wouldn't even have known it was a button down if you hadn't mentioned it.
