This outfit has a funny story behind it. For my hen do, and for everyday leading up to my nuptials, I wanted to wear white. Hmm...!! Think of it as a cleansing before I embarked on a new set of experiences, challenges, and memories. However, instead of stocking up on white in my past life, I was busy filling my closet with its opposite--black. I couldn't find anything I liked in white, and when I did, the garments were ridiculously expensive or ridiculously conscience crushing. EMERGENCY!!!!

Ring Ring...Syreetz, I need a dress and I need one NOW!!! Ok, well I asked a bit more politely, but my only option was to phone a friend, who I knew had white dresses. Syreetz sent me photos of options and I saw this beauty, which I thought I would give a go. As soon as I slipped this ASOS Bodycon Midi on, I knew this was it. 

Usually, Emma and I share our closets, and although we are far apart, we still do this. I have loads of her winter clothes, and she has....uuummmm....well, I have loads of her winter gear :-). It is a great way to extend your wardrobe with your besties or good friends.

Dress | ASOS Bodycon Midi swapped for the night with Syreeta for a Diane von Furstenberg Dress [similar here]

Jacket | Vintage Ostrich Feather Coat bought years ago in NYC Boutique

Bag | Vintage "Bible Purse" (as a Guyanese vendor once called it) from Scarlet Rage in Crouch End [similar here]

Shoes | Prada [very similar here, but perhaps look for vintage ones to match]

I've become a recent lover of Autumn (or Fall for my American cousins), and always been a lover of mixing prints. So it should be of no surprise to my friends that this outfit is a reflection of both these loves. In London, this outfit would still be appropriate for this time of year. In NYC, however, this outfit would definitely be one's ticket to the emergency room for pneumonia.

STACY'S OUTFIT: Blazer: Jil Sander | Leopard Jumper: Emma H.'s Charity Shop Find | White Shirt: Rag&Bone | Black Pleated Skirt: Saks Fifth Avenue [From my Mother's Archives] | Shoes: Prada [Off of Ebay]

Yesterday was the last day of Ecoluxe London's showroom, featuring some amazing designers. I was in mid-review of my UN report, when I got a tweet from Ecoluxe asking if we were coming to the event. I saw this around 17h35h, the event ended at 20h00, and it would take me about 40mins to get there. So, I literally threw on this oversized looped cardigan over a dress I bought NEW from a charity shop, wrapped my head with this Burberry scarf, and swapped my havaianas for a pair of Prada. I slapped on some lippy and ran out the door, not looking into the mirror. As a result this is what came from me putting an ethical outfit together.
