Loving: vintage geometric jackets

this geometric jacket could look like a Navajo rug...
 
while this one has a mix of geometric elements besides a Native American theme.
 
Certainly some really cool geometric tribal / indigenous peoples inspired tuxedo length jackets that one could probably wear with a long tuxedo shirt and skinny jeans... This one is quite like a dhurrie.
 
this one actually looks more like the geometric designs from the Balkans maybe or Bulgaria...
and this one is almost like a kilim rug...
 while this one makes me think of a Persian carpet
 and this one is an oasis complete with palm trees -- amazing!

Crushing: reptile shoes

I was a little leery to use the word "crushing" for snakeskin shoes, which are a little daunting for me -- i.e. they can't be too realistic in print, if you know what I mean... Reptiles just don't give me the "warm fuzzies." But I found a few pairs that are nevertheless quite cool -- again, no reptilian pun intended...
 really cute natural tone chelsea boots with a medium high heel...
 very cool natural tone brogues...
 pretty snazzy teal loafers...
 cute huh?
 these snakeskin penny loafers...
 these pretty black and beige ones that look like lace...
 the side view shows the lovely lace-like detail better...
these gorgeous pale pink loafers...
and these fuchsia pointed ballet flats - not bad!

Loving: floppy hats

 love the chicness of this burgundy floppy felt hat, which is very much on-trend!
floppy hats always remind me of Amy Irving in film Crossing Delancey and here is Peter Riegert the pickle king behind her. Really cute movie...

More plaid: checkered duster coat

 intrigued by this long, oversized black and white checkered duster coat...
but wondering if it doesn't look too much like a gingham tablecloth...

feeling nautical: Greek fisherman style hat

 inspired by this deep navy blue Greek fisherman style hat...
 I can just see it with something nautical like this red and white striped bateau shirt
and a midi length French blue skirt...
 or something like this periwinkle skirt...
my first choice would be to team it with this quite nautical looking vintage red moto jacket with red and white striped lining for the cuffs...
and nautical looking brass buttons...
and a crisp white denim jacket...
and the red and white jackets can be worn with this black pinstripe nautical skirt...
or this dark wash indigo blue denim jacket...
these navy blue crochet flats...
or this white caged gladiator bootie sandal ...
on my wishlist: Frech blue / periwinkle moccasin loafers...

 and these cute red sunglasses...
and just to be different, this periwinkle Kleancolor Lipstick in Cast of Spell...

Invoking Spring: little lilac blazer

 nothing speaks Spring like pastels like light purple or lilac!
love the unstructured roomy back and the pretty jacquard pattern -- perfect for Spring!
this light purple coat would be perfect worn open over skinny jeans...

More funky fur: the cow / pony print faux fur jacket

 nothing beats the graphic impact of a luscious little cowprint faux fur jacket...
this one has a shawl collar and flares out like a swing coat - cute stuff! But seriously, I'm told this is actually a PONY print and in some way the Sagittarian in me prefers that...

Vintage Glam: black faux karakuli coat

I've always been intrigued by the texture and vintage glamour of karakuli coats...
 this one is extra glam as it's full length and with broad lapels...
 karakuli or karakul has such an interesting coral like pattern - tres chic!

In the navy

looks quite cuddly and I love that this little coat actually goes past the hips
has navy blue and black sections, which is quite interesting, if not artistic...
 and it's not too shaggy so that it looks like a Muppet or the Cookie Monster...

the cheeky leopard sneaker

love the extra high tread on these, like the white cliffs of Dover 
 
and the large leopard print! A wardrobe staple really...

Anton tan slouch boot

ooh, I think I'm loving Anton already...

Gone tribal

love the geometric print of these black and white boots that would look great with geometric sweaters...
looks like the two were made for each other!
Also, discovered this geometric swing coat...
And it makes some interesting outfits...


I would include these black shoeties
And these quilted black criss cross slide sandals
