Getting Spring Ready with Pixie Market

...Referred to exclusively as Pixie no Dicksie Market going forward.

With winter weather slowly subsiding, I am pretty sure that we share one collective fear and that is: without the prospect of spontaneously layering copious amounts of fur, how will we successfully repel? Fear not, fellow repellows, I have your asses covered. Always. Before we dip our toes into spring territory though, I'd like you to welcome our new friend Pixie Market to the right hand upper corner of this here blog.

Upon questioning the decision to offer ad-space on my blog, I thought about what you would think because at this point, everything I do is about you. And I mean that. When I wake up some mornings I think maybe I'll wear skinny jeans today but I stop myself and say, what will the repellows think? Harem pants, it is.

In any case, this ad seemed worthy of blog space as it does, after all, encompass the fashion super market. The online boutique stays painfully true to my aesthetic and is more on brand than I myself am and light of this, we circle back to my initial point about the fear of losing our ability to layer fur and now, seeking solace in knowing you won't. Here, I've pulled for you ten looks to kick start your anti-mating regime for spring.
Spring is all about color blocking, try your hand, or arms, at it with neon sleeves on a boxy cropped trench. Lime sleeve bomber jacket, $144.
Perhaps the best alternative to traditional necklaces since nun chucks, I give you: the Jil Sander inspired detachable collar, Sherbert orange collar, $44.
Eating pistachios is cool, but wearing pistachios is cooler. It ain't an outfit without a ruffle or two. Mint ruffle bouse, $69.
Which is why I included the shorts. Black ruffled helm shorts, $86.
Suspenders are certainly a spring favorite and these silk knickers bare a striking resemblance to the Muppet-inspired Kermit pants seen on 3.1. Phillip Lim's F/W 2011 runway. A look for less in a timely manner, if you will. Long silky green shorts, $82.
And while we're talking look for less, behold: the claw ring. If I didn't know better, I'd say the piece had Pamela Love written all over it but because I do, in fact, know better, I will tell your wallet to shake its maracas, it's only $62. And to the left, why wear cuffs on your wrists when you can wear them on your ears? Detachable jewels for the cartilage, that's what's up. Silver ear cuffs, $27 each.
Top every out with your wing-tip tassel loafers. Nothing says Frank Sinatra meets Audrey Hepburn quite like 'em. Denim and ivory tassel shoes, $179.
Five words: Peter Pan collar on steroids. I made sure to order this one before exploiting it on the interwebs because it is in two simple words: fucking awesome. Navy studded dress, $94.

What trends are you most excited to wear come Spring? Tell me about it, stud.

  11. Not going to lie. I think I love you right now just because of those ear cuffs. I have been looking for a basic pair for ever. I may have to get those. We will see if my cheap ass ways let me. (I hate spending money.)

  17. annnnd I'm convinced - I've been having a nagging I-must-return-to-my-late-80's-early-90's-jewelry-wearing-roots feeling & hence, craving an ear cuff lately... apparently it's in the air, so it's off to Pixie Market I go...

    MR why are we not, like, BFF's by now? we are clearly sharing a brain :) xo

  26. Love those silky green shorts...that collar would be even sexier without the shirt...maybe a strapless dress :P.

    ReplyDelete
  27. the fit on those black shorts certainly aren't man repellant, i think guys will be able to ignore the frilly circumference lol...

    oh and the detachable collar is genius..all the better to be ironic with..

  28. Dude, I love that detachable orange collar and those ruffle-hem shorts! I can't wait to break out the punchy colors, light, airy fabrics and I'm paradoxically praying to stumble upon a nice little thrifted pair of flower-print denim cutoffs.
