LGTMAS: Gamine

Sweater, Moda International. Turtleneck, Merona. Skirt, Herman Geist (thrifted and shortened). Tights, Danskin. Loafers, American Eagle for Payless.


This outfit kind of makes me want to throw up. It is too much girlishness.

I’m not really a fan of gamine – mostly because I dislike flats. I’ve only worn flats to work a handful of times since beginning this blog.


In fact, these red peep-toes are the only dressy flats I own.
The Gamine chapter of The Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style wasn’t very helpful. From what I gathered there, gamine style = dressy clothes you can wear while riding your bike. (Hence, the flats.) Nadine of Strawberry Kitten, my Gamine Lucky Blogger Girl, is far more inspirational than the book. Not only does she does ride her bike wearing her cute ensembles, but she does it in heels.
