Sometimes I feel like I wear the same things over and over...so today I decided to dress up for absolutely no reason.
While I was browsing through the internet recently, I discovered a woman named Michelle Harper who makes me want to dress up every single day of my life. She's somebody who seems to truly love and appreciate fashion... and she collects vintage! We need more women like her!
Wearing Isabel Marant skirt, H&M tights, 60s long leather gloves, vintage faux ostrich clutch, silk top from thrift store, and Alaia ankle-strap pumps.
I think the Sartorial Pursuit giveaway game is almost over, so play! People have been winning some really great prizes!

Great pop of color! Magenta complements you beautifully. It's on these occasions when you dress up for no reason, that the best outfits come out!

Love the opaque tights with the black suede Alaia's. And that magenta blouse is giving me life! You really know how to work an outfit girl! Love it!
Maybe I should stop making "not going anywhere special" an excuse to not dress up. I'm sure it'll make me feel awesome to do it every once in awhile just because!

Those shoes are crazy! I want them =)
Karla, you are wonderful. :) Your skirt is highly covetable and those gloves add sophistication.

i love the way you experiment with color ;)
...look closer
girl, u should go out & strut your stuff! :) xoxo.
dressing up for no reason always seems the most fun to me for some reason : )
as for the outfit, that skirt is gorgeous!
Michelle Harper is quite the gem...would love to someday have an entourage to scour the world for the most recherché vintage you can find! And isn't that Jean Varon op-art kimono just to die for? I've been searching far and wide for a Jean Varon dress of my own...you should watch these two Style Like U vids:

I am absolutely in love with your silver/grey skirt! This is my main focus of your ensemble. I also love the color match of silver/grey with the violet colored shirt! I was in a conversation the other days about why women don't wear the long satin gloves that they used to wear AND now I see you wearing long gloves is too perfect. LOL!I love your heels as well!

Your skirt and blouse are so nice! And your gloves reminds me of gloves Anthony Kiedis (RHCP-singer, I'm a big fan) once wore... They rock.

once again you have surpassed the previous outfit. I adore your style and it inspires me to love fashion and wear what I love and nothing less... What are clothes if we don't even enjoy wearing them?

Wow, the purple color looks fabulous (so conclusion; you are magnificent with any color). The skirt ha s a tricky shape and would not work on everybody; but you look amazing. I love the fact that you have combined it with simple black dark tights and boots. The long gloves makes it more elegant and chique. It’s not an easy accessory, but it looks exuberant. The clutch matches really well because it’s a small clutch (so always great when you want to dress up).
I love it- the pink is fantastic!

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women
http://boycottamericanwomen.blogspot.com/
I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.
BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!
I love the shape, colour, style of that skirt..I love it
nice outfit
Big like! <3
So cool!!!
www.thebigiofactor.blogspot.com
I love your skirt!
http://ididitallbymyselfmummy.blogspot.com/
You are not "dressed up" at all, you are simply "dressed well". Why is it that most people think anything other than a pair of ratty jeans is "dressed up"? I glad others besides me have some good taste!
LOVE your blog. LOVE your style.
http://idontwearjeans.blogspot.com/
YOU make me want to play dress up! Love this! xx
Hi Karla!
I don't like the skirt, and the gloves are a bit too much.
But you are SO GORGEOUS you can wear anything u want!!!
love
The bright colour look great on you!
Dressing up is always fun :D
Love,
Sjanna from wehavebeenexpectingyou
damn girl you got a serious look going on. the gloves are quite a look. but you go.

Let me just say that skirt is to die for, and matched with the pink top GENIUS!
you look soo amazing!
That tulip jacquard skirt is gorgeous on you, it flatters you nicely. And the purple is such a nice hue on you. Who can resist the beauty of vintage?

This is such a fresh look! Definitely one of the prettiest outfits I have seen from you.
I can totally understand you! Dressing up, even when you don't have a particular reason for it, always makes me feel better about myself.
Lucky you, the weather where you live is perfect to wear whatever you want. Here it's impossible to dress up without freezing.
Besos!

I love dressing up! My friends always tease me that I'm rarely caught wearing a tshirt and jeans. usually I am in a dress, skirt and heels, which is just a little unusual for most high schoolers. but i think it makes the whole day better!

Hi Karla,
Okay let me start out saying first I love your blog! Second your only human and your not going to hit it out of the park with every outfit. When I glanced at what you were wearing on the first shot, ummm yeah I thought you were wearing some kind of black latex disposable gloves. Your outfit seems like it's a joke, like you are testing your bloggyland readers.
You are still absolutely beautiful, but you proved it...you wouldn't look good in a paperbag...nice to know you are human! :)
This outfit is so creative! I love the pop of fuschia, such a pretty colour!! And the shoes.. *sigh*. In a word, fantastic.

gloves? LOL.. are u fucking serious? I know fashion should be fun. But this look is hilarious. Get rid of the gloves and you'll look great.
You're completely dressed to kill, i love the whole outfit! The Isabel marant skirt is really beautiful.

I've always wanted gloves like that- ever since I saw My Fair Lady as a child! And then when I saw Shopgirl (and read the book) I became obsessed with them again. *sigh I wish a man would buy me silk or satin long gloves. I would totally wear them!
