Mad to Live

I've been lusting after this tunic since I started working at Anthropologie in May. I was looking at Free People online the other day (as I do every day) and saw they had it in red and I knew, in that moment, I wouldn't be able to resist any further.

So I didn't. 

First of all, I knew this tunic was perfect for me because it's called "The Beatnik Tunic", and growing up I always had an obsession with the beat generation. I was excited to find that I could wear it with a million other things in my closet as well. I'm a little bummed that I didn't get more pictures of it today without the jacket, but I'm sure I'll be wearing it a lot, so that's not too big of an issue! Besides that, it was raining today... Boo.

Bob Dylan's Shoes

I am pretty obsessed with this jacket. I bought it at Nordstrom for $88, and it's super heavy and warm. It's kind of rare to find a really cute jacket (in my opinion) that's still super warm under $100. Trust me, coming from Alaska, I've given that search a damn good try. I'm definitely wearing this jacket back home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I'm pretty confident I'll stay toasty warm. Not that I go outside for longer than necessary when I visit home in winter - But still!

Speaking of obsessions, I'm kind of also obsessing over these shoes. Not just these shoes, but any shoes even shaped like this. It's not exactly a new obsession, but it's one that gets a resurgence in fall/winter. Shoes like these always remind me of Bob Dylan. I know I've talked about how much I love his music, but I think it's also pretty plain to see I draw a lot of inspiration from him style wise. When I think about it, most of my style icons are boys. Weird? Maybe. Anyways, it's gotten to the point where, if Matt is over and I ask him to get out my "Bob Dylan shoes" it takes him a few tries because about 50% of she shoes I own are referred to as my "Bob Dylan shoes". Long story short, I love a good pair of shoes I could see a male musician wearing from the 1960s-1970s.

Where do you draw some of your shoe inspiration from?
