...an inarticulate stab at how I'd like my style to go forward--at least a major part of it. And so now I will of course attempt to articulate it.

Different elements that seem to complement each other well. The modish studs on the bracelets. The similarly jaunty, crisp lines of the sleeve cuff. (I had thought that this was a leather jacket at first. It's not. Here's a better look. http://www.lineapelle.com/belt.....ection?p=4 ) The rugged texture of the vest. The antique, masculine style of the belt. And the intricate pattern on the jeans--a sober, restrained boho that doesn't annoy me (unlike a "Free People" type of pseudo-hippie boho look). It's more like a tapestry or some antique fabric. And the dark, masculine blue and black tied in with the warm cream, golds and rose gold. It all gels together so nicely and seems really organic, wearable and not overly fussy, but still so sharp and chic.

How to replicate that in real life on an almost-daily basis? Do I want to? I'm just thinking out loud here. I feel like I stumbled on a big epiphany. I'm so inexperienced at taking things to the next level, though.

Thanks for reading!
