Feeling very Blade Runner in this, even though the trench jeans and colors are classic. I guess a shot of silver goes a long way.
Atmosphere trench - flea market
Nine West bag - flea market

Cute -- I do see Bladerunner there!

You really make me yearn for winter. The textures look so rich & your hair is looking great.

I love this look, Rae! The silvery snakeskin against the suede is fantastic. You look like you are on a very fashionable mission of some sort :).

You look awesome Rae- and what a great pair of sunglasses!

I love this outfit, and I agree with Jonesy, you look like a woman on a mission. You are probably a spy, and your mission is something that will, if successful, ensure that you will have never been born.

Haha, Julie, your comments always make me smile! that sounds like 1 tough mission!

Super cool ensemble. Nice lesson for me in how to lighten a dark outfit.

Julie yes, like Loopers!
You look amazing as usual, Rae. Love it.
Sarah A replied 11 years ago
Suede + silver = woo hoo awesome!
JulieJohn replied 11 years ago
Rae, glad you liked it, that makes ME smile!
Andrea - Thanks for making me IMDb that Looper and finding something so intriguing. Plus, I love me some Joey Gordon-Levitt.
OMG, where have you been hidin that trench? It's awesome;)
I am really loving the hair, it has really settled in. I don't even remember you with long hair anymore!

Fantastic -for some reason I thought Pulp Fiction!
Beth Ann replied 11 years ago
Rae: Actually, I think the suede makes you look very huggable. I've also been bag shopping, and I can't resist a cute cross-body.
Best of luck on your mission!
rae replied 11 years ago
I was somewhat disappointed with Looper, actually. But definitely still see it; just don't keep your expectations sky high like I did!
Zap, I bought it for a buck way back in the summer. I kept thinking it was too dressy to where anywhere, but Mo's thread about wearing the "good stuff" lit a fire under my backside. I wore it to a toy show with DH, lol.

Very cool! It has a bit of a 70s vibe too, and a little detective-ish.

Yay for Blade Runner chic!

Yay, for wearing, and not saving, that great coat! Leather/suede always add an element of sophistication for any mission -- even toy show reconnaisance!

Team Wear! Great outfit on a very pretty woman, and you look Sci-Fi RATE for sure - with a sophisticated silver polish.

The trench is very dramatic and this look suits you perfectly. The silver adds a great edge to the outfit as well. Love!

Love the slight 70's vibe to that trench and the silver is the perfect accessory!
I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
