What I've Worn: A Karen Walker Tunic, Red Lips and Romans.

This outfit post is a triple threat. Okay, okay...not in the usual sense but it has three bits to it, hence the 'triple' descriptive and I thought 'triple threat' sounded far more snazzy than, well, 'three bits'. The 'threat' part comes into play because I figure each component of this ensemble, in my books, is a force to be reckoned with. Deny them at your sartorial peril. 


TUNIC:
I don't need to tell you how much of a Walker-phile I am. I think 4 out of every 10 clothing items I own are K-Dubsters, which are pretty high stats for just one label. I coveted this tunic dress from Karen Walker's 'North' for an uber long time and it will easily be my summer saviour. Clean lines, boxy silhouette, contrasting oversized pockets: these alone are a triple threat. Chuck in the chambray fabrication and you're transported to Next. Level. Awesomeness. Plus, I can upgrade this bad boy when winter hits by layering a skivvy and cropped slim trousers underneath and dropping it on some socks and 4.5inch platforms...or creepers...but, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Summerwise, there's more options for layering this piece than you'd think. Stay tun-ic-ed.


ROMANS: 
As you *know, I am well and truly addicted to Roman Sandals. I. Love. Them. Richie considers them to be the epitome of horrific footwear choice and I had this to say to him, "              ". Oh, I'm sorry, did you not quite get that? Yeah, that was me mouthing "I don't give a shit!" whilst gesticulating rather wildly with both middle fingers. I'm sure he isn't alone in his detestation and I won't be alone in my appreciation. Be prepared dear reader, for the Roman Sandal [not to be confused with gladiator sandals- yeuch!] is about to become an **international phenomenon after an extremely similar style plonked down the runways for Margaret Howells S/S 12 collection.

RED LIPS:
Bold red or ***coral lips during the day on a bare face FTW!

*or may not know
**if it does, I called it...if it doesn't, I guess 'international phenomenon' could be seen as a slight exaggeration 
***note to self, get another M.A.C Lady Danger and FuFu You to whoever alighted mine by stealing my make-up bag along with my eyeliner, blotter papers and $10 emergency stash at Albany Mall last weekend.
