I’ve been posting shots of my outfits at events only lately, but I promise I’ve been wearing clothes in between functions, too. I’d like to pretend that I’ve been wearing ultra-creative blogger off-duty ensembles, but that’d be an outright lie. When the cameras (read: Mr. Backseat Styler’s lone, reluctant camera) are off, I’m wearing the same damn things over and over again – partially out of laziness, but mostly because I just can’t get enough out of some of my recent purchases.
My FLARE x ALDO wedges fall into this category. I’ve been wearing them every opportunity I get and raking in the compliments at every turn. I tweeted recently that I’ve never owned a pair of shoes that garnered more love from friends and strangers alike, and that’s the truth. The neon orange and python wedges are incredibly eye-catching and surprisingly versatile. Best $135 I’ve ever spent.
My Biko Adoria necklace is another piece I’ve been wearing non-stop. You wouldn’t think chains and spikes would be my thing, given the overabundance of bows and ruffles in my closet, but the Adoria has been the perfect accessory to bring some edge to my otherwise girly outfits of late. I haven’t been able to take my latest Biko purchase off since I bought it.
So there you have it. I don’t have an endless closet – the shock! – and I rewear pieces all the time – the horror! Fess up – what do you have on heavy rotation so far this summer?

wow those shoes are so amazing! love love love them!
Aren’t they? One of my favourite purchases of late!
Wow, those shoes really bring your outfit to the next level! They remind me of The Bat, the rollercoaster at Wonderland.
The shoes definitely take the outfit to the next level. Actually, they have a habit of doing that to any ol’ outfit I throw on. So good.
heavy rotation: my 1460 8-eye boots. prior to these you’d only see chuck taylors on my feet. the more worn and broken in the docs get, the better they look.
Yup, I’ve seen you rocking your Docs! And now you have a new pair of Chucks too, from the BHD Suites. I expect those will be on heavy rotation too.
Yeah those are some very, very cool shoes!
LOL @ the person above, they totally do look like The Bat. I love The Bat, and these shoes! You look very pretty too of course.

Thanks for the compliment! I haven’t been on The Bat in years. Suddenly feeling inspired (and brave!).
Finally a “normal” outfit post!! Yay! I love this <3 Black & white is really my thing
Ha! Funny thing is, the top is white/navy and the shorts are navy too…I think. Hard to tell in the photos though.
Cool shoes! It’s refreshing to hear a blogger say they have less than couture regular outfit habits; it makes me feel a bit better for pulling out my tee & jean combos (again)! If anything, this post is a good example of how accessories can spice up any outfit.
I’m in jeans way more than the blog gives away.
I’ve been playing with accessories more recently and having a lot of fun with it! I’m learning to come up with new outfits by shopping my own closet and mixing and matching pieces I already own.
yeap, those wedges definitely finish the outfit! i love the pop of orange against the black&whiteness of your outfit (How very YOU)
