March 2012 Urban Outfitters Catalogue

Here are a few pages (and the cover!) of the UO catalogue for March 2012 that I really loved.  I especially love the cover.

My view on the way to school.

These are actually slippers that I got last week.  They're so comfy and I've been wearing them to class - as long as its not wet outside.

ONE

This carpeted purse, which you can find here on Etsy. I once saw an adorable purse just like this in an antique store, but when I went back a few days later with the intention of buying it was gone.  I feel like this would be a great piece to wear with just a black shirt and jeans.

Two

This briefcase at the same Etsy shop.  It would make carrying things to class so much easier - and fit a laptop comfortably.

Brooches

What can I say?  They're pretty.  You can stick them anywhere you want, a n y w h e r e.  Maybe not conventionally, but I do anyways.  

Shirts, boots, pants, scarves, jackets.

They look great on any item of clothing.

Some sketches of brooches I made today.

It tends to be hard to find interesting brooches that don't look tacky.  Especially when you go into antique shops and they have layers upon layers of costume jewelry - it can be a nightmare digging through the overly gaudy to find ones that make a stand alone statement (think borderline ugly yet somehow the beauty and uniqueness ultimately shines through).

These are some of my favorite brooches that I own.

I think its best to use them as a stand alone piece.  If you start piling on too much other jewelry with them you will start to look a little messy and bogged down by accessories.  I'd say it would be good to pair some simple earrings with a large/obnoxious brooch.  But hey, if you can make more work then go for it.

There's just something about pink.

I used to absolutely hate pink.  I don't own pink clothing, I've never wanted a pink room, and loads of pink used to make me a bit ill.  But lately, I've been interested in small amounts.
