zarna's runway

an east meets west fashion blog. full of all things fabulous.

Thursday, February 24, 2011

primary colors

faux fur vest: zara, jeans: express, tee: silence&noise, necklace: local boutique, shoes: bordello, rings: forever 21, sunglasses: ray-ban

my year-round uniform starts with jeans and a white tee. from there i pile on tons of accessories, jackets, vests, hats, and of course, a very high pair of heels. it's comfortable, easy to run around in, and always makes me feel chic!

do you have a go-to uniform/outfit?

stayfabulous,

zarna

Anonymous said...: Zarna! I LOVE your Ray-Bans. I love that colour...could never find one like that, in aviators. Perfect. Suit you sooo well!

And I'm such a sucker for primary, basic colours that I totally love this post! The shoes do all the rest of the fun play for you1 :); February 24, 2011 at 2:04 AM
classiq said...: Yes, jeans, uni t-shirts (mainly neutral colors) or shirts and high heels.
Ada; February 24, 2011 at 2:20 AM
Absolutely Mrs. K said...: I was looking at the outfit without seeing the shoes. And I thought: a fashionable, easy going, everyday outfit with a great background. And then, BAM, the shoes, THE biggest fashion paradox I have seen for a while. The shoes remind me of a fashion fairytale. The dots look so adorable, but the heels they do not look so adorable. Love the combination, the shoes are an eye catcher. Love the necklace very much.; February 24, 2011 at 2:22 AM
Laurita P said...: i love owls and your necklace is such a great one!; February 24, 2011 at 2:28 AM
Sylvia said...: THis is so cute, zarna! Love this spot, too. since it's been cold lately my go to combo has been jeans, chiffon blouse, and a sweater.. kind of preppy glam. haha looking good, girl!

Al said...: You're so cool, as always!!

Totally agree on the white t-shirt+jeans base: it works with everything and you can make a simple or an edgy outfit out of it just by playing with a couple of accessories.

Oh, and I am in love with your rings!
