The Leopard Print

I love a leopard print. I'm trying hard not to buy those oxfords. I really love Rebecca Taylor's leopard print pieces (see below, for example). Last winter, I scored a dress for more than half off and recently bought this camisole on sale (I have yet to wear either). I also have a great pair of Aldo pumps with pink trim that I never wear anymore because I hardly wear pumps now that I've accumulated so many great wedges (I have back pain, probably due to said pump wearing. I used to run for the train in them!). When I go back to work, I'll have to pull those out of the closet because they haven't been worn in years. At the ripe old age of 33, I'll just have to carry my heels to work.

Anyway, those shoes came to mind because I came across these amazing leopard print jeans. Trying. Hard. Not. To. Purchase.

Want List for Fall (Marc by Marc Jacobs Edition)

Yes, this blog is called Wear Me Already, which is meant to help me wear the clothes that are actually in my closet. But part of the problem is that I'm a shopaholic, which means I'm still going to be buying clothes. I'm not even going to pretend anymore that I'm going to stop. I tried, it didn't work. The main problem is that I wear the same outfits over and over again and "save" items in my closet (for no apparent reason) and that's what I'm working on. I'm getting better! But you always need new items to mix with your old items to make them feel fresh and new. So these are the Marc by Marc Jacobs pieces that I plan on buying (or hope to buy) to help me with that. Or just because I'm obsessed with his clothes. And, again, I'm a shopaholic.

16 Day Skirt Challenge: Day 6

Speaking of colour blocking, another great combination as shown in my favourite Marc Jacobs peep toe pumps = purple + pink! Thankfully, the weather has been cooperating and I'm able to get some more uses out of these shoes before I have to start wearing tights (which, unfortunately, wouldn't fit with these shoes otherwise I would wear them all fall). I don't know what's taken me so long to wear this blazer, seeing as it's always freezing in our office, but today was the perfect day.

16 Day Skirt Challenge: Day 5 + Colour Blocking + Bright Shoes

I've always loved the idea of putting two brights together. My favourite combination = pink + orange. I've been trying to stay away from black as far as I remember. When I do wear it to work, people have commented that they usually don't see me in black. I do like black for an occasional dress, but it has to have some detail to make it interesting. Black dress pants are obviously a staple and easy to pair with anything in the fall/winter, especially on days when you're rushing out the door (which I am, a lot). I usually focus on skirts and pants, so I tend to wear a lot of black sweaters and turtlenecks in the winter. Again, because I'm usually rushing in the morning and it's the easiest colour to throw on (besides white of course) and not worry whether it matches said skirt or pants. Colour blocking isn't new this season but I've been excited to try the trend for fall. It doesn't necessarily mean two brights together but, to me, that's more exciting. In the summer, I paired bright orange sunglasses with bright blue pants but I've decided to take it one step further, using a bright yellow skirt I bought this summer. Transitioning a summer skirt into fall = bonus points! (Will pair the skirt with tights for winter = triple points!) If I didn't stop to actually think about it, I never would've thought this skirt would take me through 4 seasons.
