Jailhouse Rock / My Monochromatic Life

After I was editing the photos for this post I realized that I look a little Elvis a la Jailhouse Rock. Not really the worst comparison, but I would like to think I modernized it. I have been following this online boutique Alice & Wonder for a while now. I have been oogling their stuff but didn't quite feel ready to commit because I couldn't try on. A few months ago I saw they got a storefront in Chicago, where they are based, and was ecstatic. Over the 4th of July I go there to visit my cousins and I made sure we stopped in. I basically wanted to buy everything but I limited myself. I found this top. Black and white? Stripes? Hello...mine. Could a shirt be anymore made for me? (#chandlerbing) I am also a big fan of the knotted look. I basically put this on and was like "can I wear this out?" I love it. It can pair with shorts or jeans so super versatile. I love these jeans too I would wear them every day if I could and I think they are the perfect casual pairing with this top. When I got home from Chicago I regretted not buying these shoes. I had been wanting them and when I got to the store I balked. I got home and knew I had to have them. In the inspo photo they paired them with black jeans and it was like a light bulb went of. They may be pink, but the studs make them edgy.
