Nice Threads

By: Jen Shoop

While I generally consider myself the anti-hippie when it comes to dressing, there is a random sub-strain of my fashion persona that gravitates towards gauzey embroidered tops and tunics.  It’s a strange attraction since the tops don’t really mesh well with the rest of my wardrobe, but there it is — the black sheep of the Magpie wardrobe.  So, here are some looks that bend me just a little out of my comfort zone…for the inner Magpie Coachella Chic look.  First, this Suno top is perfection (on sale for $245 — or get the look for less here for $160, or here for $60), perhaps with some jorts (Rag + Bone, $154) and some round-ish shaped sunnies (fresh. — Illesteva, $220):

Finish with some classic K. Jacques ($253 — I own this exact style in neon pink and adore them) and a crossbody mini ($60):

Now, this strappy little number is a true Coachella-farer’s dreams (can’t you see Kate Bosworth in it?! — Miguelina, $265), especially with a delicate necklace (Gorjana, $80) and some mirrored Ray Bans ($160):

And, in closing, something for the home — these stunning silk-screened art prints ($15/each), which I would love to frame in a row (maybe three whites, or two whites and one yellow?) along the long corridor that runs between our master bedroom and the guest bedroom…

  1. I see this “genre” of clothing on blogs, magazines, etc. and then if I actually try it on in real life…I immediately come to the conclusion it is just not me. I have one gauzy tunic to my name, and i still feel strange when I wear it.
