Zara - The Seventh Sphinx

autumn layering

This is the leather jacket I mentioned. It has some quilted detailing on the shoulders and back, and an appealing abundance of zippers. And finally it is cold enough to wear it. Here I am again with the drab olive color I like so well.

Cargo leather jacket from AllSaints, Old Navy vest (which is quite warm), Zara scarf, Express jeans (thrifted), Eric Michael boots, Mulberry Roxanne bag (thrifted), Spektre sunglasses.

Loving the colors in this scarf. Zara is so on point this season.

the classic trench

It is trench weather here, off and on. When it isn’t bloody freezing.

Banana Republic trench (thrifted), American Eagle jeans (thrifted), Calvin Klein Jeans pumps, pearl earrings from Etsy shop bluebirrrd dreams, Zara silk top (thrifted).

Yes, another look at these cherry blossom drop earrings, which I liked so well.

While the shape of this trench is just right – minimally embellished, not too stylized, fitted, standard -, the color of the buttons is all wrong. They wash everything out. I have a plan to substitute superior, properly contrasting buttons, along with getting the shoulder pads out of this one blazer and hemming this one skirt. There is a pile. Wish me luck.
