Villain

 

November is always a happy month for me. I love the cooler weather, the excitement over the holidays and how my wardrobe *finally* gets to change. I love layering but I don't get many chances to actually use it! This Villain top from Disturbia is a great layering piece because it's super light and versatile. I wanted to show how I used it with lots of contrasting black items. This is basically my everyday fall/winter look!

Top- Disturbia

Corset- Lively Ghosts (use code SCB10 for a discount)

Shorts- c/o La Femme En Noir

Shoes- Dr. Martens

Bag- Harvey's

Tights- Target

The Villain blouse is what I lovingly refer to as a "puffy shirt" because it has a ruffled collar, crinkle-like texture and ties down the front. The sleeves are billowy and have elastic on the cuff so you can push them up if needed. I love how long and flowy it is, it truly looks great by itself or layered under pieces like this Lively Ghosts corset. I ordered a US8 so I could have lots of room and it definitely delivered. I also had to show off my new Dr. Martens x Wednesday loafers, they are my new favorite! I have that irrational fear where I want to buy a backup pair because I know they're a limited release. So far I'm not giving into that intrusive thought but I may just grab it in haste!

We're gearing up for the holidays and I feel more excited about it than I usually do. I think the idea of wearing cute outfits and spending lots of time at Disneyland is a helpful distraction from the state of the world right now. Whatever you gotta do to get that serotonin in, am I right?
