If you've read most of my blog posts, you'll know that one of my favorite brands is Book of Deer. To start off my outfit posts this season, it only seemed fitting that I featured a Book of Deer piece.
Here is the Celestite Top, from their AW 2016 Collection, which was called "Crystals & Moths":
(Psst... the Celestite Top is on sale, and it looks like every size is still in stock, so you could totally get it if you wish! This is definitely something new since most of what I feature on this blog is secondhand/vintage or out of stock.) None of my posts are sponsored, but I love promoting my favorite brands, especially Book of Deer, since the founder and designer Eilidh Ho is so personable. She has often sent my packages along with hand-written thank you notes, and always sends her items in a hand-painted envelope. Also, her clothes are always excellent quality. This top is made of the softest polyester I've ever felt, and I love the crystal print and how flowy it is.
Here are the outfits I put together with the top. They're not the most original, since every single outfit is just this top with a pair of jeans, but I think they go well together and varied how each outfit looks with the different coats and accessories, so I hope you like them!
Outfit #1:
Here's the first outfit, in which I contrasted the feminine top with a tough faux leather jacket. Maybe the purse and top are too matchy-matchy for some, but I have no problem with that. I also adore how this top looks with a pair of skinny jeans and ankle boots, hence why outfit #2 is a very similar outfit formula to this one.
Outfit #2:
Yes, this outfit is very similar to the first one, but the outfit includes a lot more color, as you can see with the rhinestone collar on the coat and holographic leather purse (which can be worn as a fanny pack and a cross body). I also added a metallic silver scarf because as one of my best friends says, "shiny things make me happy." :)
Outfit #3:
And last but not least, here's an outfit that's a lot more muted than the second one in regards to color, but I like how it gives off a different vibe even though the second and third outfits share the same top. Also, even though the top is very thin, this outfit will keep me warm since it includes a nice hat and scarf, and a lovely fleece-lined coat.
I love fall weather, but it's true that it can be a bit... erm, temperamental (okay, I'll stop using puns now). The temperature tends to range from 30 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can be hard to maintain a fall wardrobe. Case in point: last fall, when I started using capsule wardrobes, I needed to dig through my storage bin since I needed a thicker coat on a day it was 30 degrees outside. I would wear the first and second outfits on day when the temperature is about 50 or 60 degrees, while I would wear the third outfit on a day that's cooler (and maybe even wear it with a third middle layer by including a cardigan when it's especially cold). I hope I showed you how you can make one top work for a wide range of temperatures, and look forward to my next post!
Best wishes,
A Metal Pansy
