Studs with Sass

Two words: Studded accessories. All day, every day.

Honestly, for such a simple accessory it makes a bold impact. Studded accessories add mega flair to any outfit. Some people are put off by them - yes, they are a punk rock staple - and as a self-proclaimed hipster, studs are honestly a no-brainer for me. Even the most feminine, girly of outfits have room for a little edginess a la some badass jewelry and studs. Don't you think?

I threw this outfit together for a laid-back Saturday with my husband to go to a flea market. HUGE disappointment. I have yet to find a good one in New Jersey since I moved. Flea markets used to be something I looked forward to, and even when I was a teenager, my mother and I used to find some awesome jewelry at them. Now, they all sell tube socks. No such luck... yet.

Since I can't wear colored denim or too-out-there pants to work, I'm usually all about putting together outfits that let me wear some of the other pieces in my closet. I would, however, wear pieces of this outfit with other elements for my 9 - 5, just not all at the same time.

Electric Boogaloo

Dorothy in the Wizard Of Oz had ruby red slippers. And I'll hand it to her - they were fabulous, as she was the first chick to wear glitter pumps before any of us were even a. born and b. fashion bloggers.

For this outfit, I'm wearing England on my feet in the form of gold studded oxfords are my ruby reds.

Purchased in England, they are an absolute hipster find and call for bouts of unnecessary dance breaks. Quite possibly, a mullet shoe: party in the front with gold studs, business in the back a la a gold heel. And I have my husband to thank for buying these oxfords for my birthday!

I think they go well with my LC Lauren Conrad floral pattern pants that I scored on Black Friday. While I don't think the shoes are appropriate for my job (I work in the marketing/education sector) and I can't wear jeans to work, I'm always looking for pants that are work-appropriate, but not pushing it too much. You won't, however, EVER find me wearing or buying pleated pants.

I feel like dress pants are something Santa would bring me if he thought I should be on the naughty list. Dress pants = coal for me.

Hope you're all staying nice for the holiday season!
