It was an unusually warm day here in Akron OH in December. I should have been sporting a scarf and winter coat, but instead I get to show off a pretty pink blazer. Also, I  LOVE that floral background. It's in the window of an old school wallpaper shop downtown close to my house.

Akron Fashion - Sam Edelman Leopard Spikes

Akron Fashion - Sheer Skirt Overlay

Akron Fashion - Downtown photoshoot - Sam Edelman leopard spikes
Bringing in November with shoulder pads, sheer overlays and spikes. Loved this combo on a gorgeous November day in downtown Akron, Ohio. As far as the spot, I've been obsessed with these orange doors for years. The old advertising agency I used to work for rented out this warehouse building for video shoots so it's nice to visit this familiar space.
The sparkle rust colored sweater is by 2bRYCH...found this high end piece at TJMaxx! I couldn't pass up the puffy sleeves and shoulder pads. The black mini skirt with sheer overlay: H&M. Leopard spiked heels: Sam Edelman. Envelope clutch: The Limited. Sunglasses: Nastygal.com
