back to basics.

After wearing such a new-for-me sillhouette, I took comfort in wearing a very Melissa-since-college proportion of my favorite trenchcoat, a long dress, beret, and clogs! The fanny pack is a more recent signature, but I love it! It's so practical and I love the little smiley face and pop of pink. Plus, since the bag is brown and the strap is black, it truly matches everything in my closet. I also bring it to the gym and wear it when I work out for a hands-free, no fuss bag. 

I'm wearing: ebay beret, anthro pansy trench from poshmark, rexy coach fanny pack from eBay, long dress from poshmark with fox's ny dress under (it's sheer!), old anthro glasses, sven clogs from poshmark

Axel is SUCH a good boy, I had to share some bonus pics of my fave pup. 

And here's a color play with my mauve clogs and my deep purple flowers. I loved the different tones of purple interacting! So summer-in-winter! Admittedly, my toes are a bit cold in sandals but I was too lazy to put on socks, will probably add some later if I go out again tonight. This was a perfect look for running errands and feeling chic!

Look at my fun necklaces too! They remind me of middle school and summer camp with the DIY vibe, they are from a nearby consignment store that I frequent often. I bought them to wear together! xx
