OOTD: Vintage lace + denim

Salut les filles!

It's crazy hot here today, so I put this breezy and casual outfit together.

I'd totally forgotten about this shirt, so when I found it in my closet I was really excited to wear it! I bought it years ago, probably 5 or 6, from a vintage sale for $10. I really like the way it looks with high-waisted denim shorts (although these are more of a mid-rise... still higher than what I usually wear!). The only annoying thing about the shirt is that because it's vintage lace, the button holes are very loose, so I have to secure each of them with a safety pin so I don't flash people! A minor inconvenience, though.

Items:

Top- vintage
Shorts- American Eagle high waisted shortie
Belt- H&M
Bracelets- africa (large beads), Pandora (black lariat), unknown (red and grey crystals)
Shoes- Marc by Marc Jacobs

Thank you Marc Jacobs...

... for creating these adorable shoes.

Hi girls,

I'm really really pumped- I tried these shoes on a month ago, and have been dreaming of them ever since. Finally, they are mine! Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats!

Box and dust bag (!!!)

Mice!

I had seen these (or earlier versions) on some blogs a while ago, and at first thought they were kinda... strange. Apparently one of the earlier versions had red eyes, which sounds really creepy. I like the dark on dark aspect of these. The eyes and ears are a dark, patent navy blue, so it's a subtle contrast to the black leather of the shoes. I also really like that these have the slightly elastic heel. I find this type of style much easier to wear and break in than the rigid heels of most flats.

I'm most excited to see how many ways I can wear these! They're subtle and soft enough to wear somewhat formally, but they jazz up basic jean shorts and a top because, well, there are mouse faces on them!!

What do you think of Marc Jacobs' design? Weird or totally awesome??
