I love velvet. It's soft and it reminds me of my grandmother's old couch from the 60's. I was scouring the Black Friday sale that Urban Outfitters has every year and I stumbled upon this gem. Originally $170 I got this Chaser brand top for $15, now that's a deal if I ever did see one! I feel uber 60's, just like the couch, when I wear this top. The fading effect from one side of the shirt to the other is amazing and makes me feel like I'm wearing two different shirts. To top off the 60's vibes I piled on the chunky rings. One on almost every finger.
I paired this top with my red suede booties from Topshop. I love them so much but they don't get much wear this time of year due to horrid salt that eats away at the soles of your boots and is essentially, suede's arch nemesis.
The cut-outs in the back and on the shoulder act as a nice little unexpected surprise. Even I didn't initially expect to see it till I pulled the shirt off the rack!
To go off of the whole 60's velvet vibe, I couldn't help thinking of Jimi Hendrix. The man could dress! He loved playing up different textures and patterns. He is the epitome of the psychedelic 60's.
