Private Eye

DSC_0438

It's been a long time since I've worn my trench coat with its belt, and when I reunited the pair I have to say that the look made me feel like one of those stereotypical private eye detective types - not a bad way to feel, I think. Also, private eye is a pretty strange phrase. I mean, I know it's supposed to imply that you're hired to eye actions that are meant to be private, but I kind of like the idea of having a private eye, like an eye that no one else can see and that you keep hidden for your own personal use. I'm rambling, but it's mostly because I'm very tired and it's now "the weekend," but also because I'm in writing mode and am in the mood to look too closely at words. But yeah, I felt like a private eye in this outfit, and I can see this red skirt being a fun autumn and winter piece (definitely for CHRISTMAS!) as long as I can figure out how to style it.

Skirt, shoes: Urban Outfitters, Blouse: Forever 21, Trench: H&M, Bow: Bethany, Beautifully Regular

  1. I love everything about this outfit! That skirt is FAB as is your new haircut (pretty sure this is the second or third time I've commented about it, lol)

    Ps - How do you manage to take so many style photos a week? I'm lucky if I get 2 or 3!

  9. Ah! Your outfits lately have been incredible! Sorry I have been bad about commenting. Being back at school is no fun. This reminds me of how I was going to be Sherklock Holmes for Halloween but my trench doesn't fit anymore. I couldn't find an appropriate substitute in my price range! Love the brown and red together here!
