Velvet Crush

photos from Etsy.com

You know I get these fashion crushes where I just fixate on some print, color combo, or fabric and I can't get enough of it. Right now I have a serious velvet crush going on and not just because I'm drinking a velvet crush as I write this. In case you're not familiar with that drink, it's grape Kool-Aid and Gin and I don't love it nearly as much as actual velvet.

Anything in particular that I'm crushing on in velvet? For the moment mostly blouses since velvet trousers seem like they would be too baggy although I haven't decided against trying them, and most velvet dresses are bodycon instead of swing skirt which I prefer to bodycon for day to day wear.

Beyond that, anything goes. I've been steadily collecting and acquiring tops from Forever21 and SheIn and that's when I saw this ombre purple skirt that perfectly matched the XXI top I'd just bought the day before. How Fortuitous!

So, in the coming weeks and months, at least as long as the cooler temps last, look for my posts with the label "velvet crush" to see what velvet picks I'm styling this season.

Shopping Info: Skirt from Shein, Top from XXI, necklace is handmade by me, heels from amazon.com
