You guys know how I love my leopard print. Meet the newest favorite addition to my closet.

Can I take just a second and be honest with you guys? I was completely unsure about this leopard sweater vest. I got it for a major steal [well, mainly because it was a major steal] but was really so-so about it. I didn’t see the potential in it, which is usually one of my greatest shopping strengths. Seeing the potential of something on the hanger when others can’t, along with the resulting satisfaction of seeing how great it is when you’re wearing it, is one one of my main thrills in life. [sorta like Cher from Clueless]

This is one time where my senses failed. I had no hopes for this sweater. So one morning when I was running late for work, I threw it on with some black pants and a long sleeve black tee and rushed out the door.

I received so many compliments….boy was I surprised.

So now, I have experienced the greatness of this sweater and want to wear it all the time! I do love how easy it is to throw on over a dress or over a long-sleeved shirt. Next, I might wear it with a turtleneck and a skirt. Excited about all the possibilities.

So, moral of the story/lesson learned, give your clothes a chance. Even if you don’t think it’s the cutest outfit, wear it out, see what reaction you get. You may just find the next go-to item in your closet.

Finally Feeling Fall.



October 6, 2015

Finally.

The weather is finally turning and it’s starting to feel like fall here in the great state of Texas. Tonight I drove with the windows down and it was such a great feeling. To celebrate the arrival of fall weather, I’m excited to post this look that feels so right for the season.

The great thing about this blog is the wonderful stories that you come away with. This location almost got my photographer and I arrested. Okay….maybe not quite but I think we were trespassing. [Sorry business owners!] We saw the cute table and wonderful orange window and felt like it was so perfect for this outfit, never mind that it was behind a gate. The gate was open – and we went in! There were definitely security cameras around too. I’m just thankful we didn’t trip an alarm. That is why you need a fearless photographer. This girl knows how to pick her shots!

While I love summertime when you can wear shorts and sandals, fall style really opens up your wardrobe. I’ve been so excited to finally put this dress on. Although it is on the shorter side, the colors are the perfect fall color palette. You all know I’m not always a print girl but I found this number during a shopping trip with mom. I was skeptical when she first picked it up and then she made me try it on — and I liked it right away. [thanks mom!]

Similar dresses: here, here, and love this one | Booties: similar, similar, great option

Once the weather gets even more cool, I’ll throw on some tights and a chunky sweater with this dress. Can’t wait!

How are you all embracing the weather change with your style?

xoxo,

Haute Obession. Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Studded No-heel Bootie.



July 23, 2012

I was dreading going through my inbox this morning when I stumbled upon this beauty. OMG. Is this not an amazing piece of work? I nearly fell out of my chair when I opened the email from Bergdorf Goodman that featured this amazing shoe. I’m not typically a fan of extreme spikes but these just work. The heel-less style with the multi-tone crystals and well-placed spikes come together for a killer design. These are just one of the heel-less offerings from the Fall/Winter 2013 collection from Giuseppe Zanotti.

Only two requirements for those who want to wear these shoes: a bad-ass outfit and good balance.

Get these bad boys at Neiman Marcus for $2950 and more show-stoppers at Bergdorf Goodman.
