Over Accessorizing


(pants-vintage, silk tee-vintage, scarf-H&M, ankle socks-DIY, jewelry and sunglasses-vintage, shoes-Jeffrey Campbell)
Whenever I wear all black I feel the urge to over accessorize. It's like having a blank canvas and the freedom to pile on as many layers of shiny metal, enamel, and stone as I want.
I really love the idea of layering watches as bracelets, even more so when the watches don't work. It's as if time doesn't matter.

DIY Styling Tips
*If you don't have any ankle socks cut the feet off a pair of old sweater tights.
*Make a bandeau top for see through shirts by cutting off the top band of a pair of black nylons.
*Make bike shorts out of black opaque tights.
