How To: Wear Socks and Heels Like a Grownup

So, I’ve talked about the whole socks with heels trend before, both here and on a Fox 19 segment about the shoot I styled for A-Line‘s August issue. After we finished the TV clip, Fox 19 anchor Sheila Gray seemed a little skeptical about the idea of wearing socks and heels as an actual adult person with, you know, A JOB. I told her I’d prove it can be done! Thrifted blazer, belt & sweater;...

Recovering from a girl’s weekend in Pittsburgh where I partied like I was 20, which subsequently necessitated resting like I was 80. More on that later. Now, in honor of the impending madness of Fashion Week, I’m feeling inspired by one of my favorite fashion staples: leopard print.
