Happy Sunday night everyone!!!
This blog post is a bit different in that I included some older photos where I'm wearing some of my favorite cross necklaces.
The Vogue 1988 cover where model Michaela Bercu is wearing a pair of faded $50 jeans paired with a $10,000.00 Christian Lacroix jeweled top is one of my all time favorites!!! It was the first time a model wore jeans on a Vogue cover and Anna Wintour's first Vogue cover as editor in chief. I loved the pairing of jeans with the amazing top; it was the beginning of my love for the high/low mixing in fashion. Kate Moss is well known for this along with Mary Kate Olsen. I love mixing vintage with high end designer pieces to make a look my own.
I love collecting beautiful, unique cross necklaces. I included a few photos in this post of some of the cross necklaces I own and how I wear them. In June 2011 I had a small, black, gothic style cross tattooed on the inside of my left ankle; I absolutely love it.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!! Stay fashionable!!!

Hello everyone!!!
My blog title is from the 1997 film "Boogie Nights"... The character "Maurice Rodriguez" says to "Buck Swope" to "Wear what you dig!" after "Becky Barnett" tells him his western style clothing isn't hip.
Always love what you wear!!! Fashion wouldn't be fun or enjoyable unless I enjoy what I'm wearing and am comfortable wearing it!!!
Thank you to everyone who has been leaving such encouraging, supportive, & amazing comments on my blog posts!!! You are all fabulous and I appreciate your taking the time to comment!!!

Happy Sunday evening fashionistas!!!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!! My husband surprised me and bought me a fabulous black/silver bracelet at Chrome Hearts. It is one of my favorite boutiques- I've been collecting the jewelry for awhile.
I have been finding so many great vintage separates: a YSL silk dress, a Ann Demeulemeester knit top, a 70's denim vest with patches, & a leather & mink coat. I love to mix vintage and new separates together. Kate Moss is a genius at this!!! I am a major admirer of her amazing style!!!
I mentioned Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in one of the photos I posted above. I have always loved Carolyn's beautiful, simple, minimalist style. It is such a tragedy she died in a plane crash with her husband JFK Jr. They were such a gorgeous couple with extraordinary style!!! My outfit in the photo was inspired by CBK- all black with leopard heels.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!!!!
