Jesus saves, I spend
A year ago I flipped through an issue of Lucky Magazine and spotted an adorable outfit inspired by the singer/songwriter St. Vincent. I fell in love with the look, and especially the cute cutout oxfords - so much that I wanted to go and buy them that instant.
They weren't available at the time, and after months of waiting, finally appeared in black (no brown ever existed). So I got them in December, but I hadn't forgotten about this outfit. At long last... does it live up to my expectations and a year of anticipation?

I love seeing your inspiration!
hehehe you're awesome, I can't wait that long for an outfit, usually I forget about it!
Awesome outfit! And the inspiration page looks really cool as well. :D
Those are so cute! I scored a great pair of oxfords at Goodwill this afternoon but I love the little cut out details on yours.
And I love the bird necklace that you're wearing as well.

Cutout oxfords are awesome, I've been eyeing a canvas pair but I doubt I'll get them (Stuart Weitzman, $$$$... sigh). I think this outfit came out great and I'm glad you finally got to wear it!
I'm impressed that you 1. kept the Lucky inspiration sheet for that long 2. recreated the look nearly a year later and 3. captured it so perfectly!
I love the inspiration, but u paired the things better!;) I love the whole look, especially the top and lovely skirt!

This outfit is SOOO 2010. I kid, I kid. Defintely looks like its worth the wait! I love the bold floral against black and white. Also, LOVE the post title.

you seriously copied it perfectly. except I hate the word "copied" more like you made your own rendition. yeah I like that better. but really, you look fantastic.
And is your dog as Bichon? he looks my dog!
I vividly remember that page from Lucky, because I fell in love with it too. I'm so glad you were able to put this together so wonderfully. :)
i totally remember that lucky spread because of bad planning i was on a five hour flight with only that magazine and skymall to read! anyway, your re-creation is amazing and i hope those shoes make more appearances because they are darling!

I've recently fallen in love with Oxfords and it's taking every ounce of will power I have not to go order that pair right now!
