I don't wear nearly enough separates. For me it is usually a reach for the most appealing (often meaning newest) dress and then coordinating around that. Separates take a little more thought. However, I wore a version of this outfit in my most recent remix and decided that I wanted to wear this white lace blouse again. The blouse also seemed like a perfect match with my lace sock garters from SWANclothing.
I have to say these garters make me feel cool. Most of my outfits make me feel...pulled together, cute, quirky, etc. Very rarely do I feel cool; I actually still don't quite feel that way, but the garters help. They're such a unique and quietly subversive accessory.
