This one's for Jamie

While I was channeling my 80s glory days in hot pink skinny cords, black tee with sequined shoulders (instead of shoulder pads), gray denim stone-washed jacket, black peep-toe pumps and some rhinestone & silver bracelets, Jamie looked like she was ripped from the pages of Anthropologie. Absolutely adorable and cozy considering the office has been 40 degrees all day long.

Jamie was also kind enough to complement me on my platform ankle boots I wore to the office (despite popular opinion of Lucky readers, see post down below), which reminded me that I saw a very good knockoff of these shoes online.  These are from Sam Edelman, probably available at Macy's and whatnot, though still not cheap. And it only took 2 years, but I still think they look great. Here's a pic of the knockoffs. Do you know who made the original?

  1. (teenage squeal) OMG--I have a huge smile on my face right now. I am so honored to be complimented RIGHT ON YOUR FASHION BLOG, Alison! I'm glad that Kaori pulled me out of my cubicle that day so that I could "show off" my outfit that incorporated two pieces from your fabulous closet. I would've been too shy to even walk by your office otherwise. (*^_^*)

    Thank you again--for the generous castaways and for the shout-out! I hope I can make you proud with future ensembles featuring Alison originals!

    BTW, your platform ankle boots were BADA$$. I don't know anyone else who could rock those without looking just plain silly.

  2. Alison, I love this blog- just saw it on Jamie's post on FB. You just gained another follower, woot! At some point in the future will you be wearing your to-die-for black croc belt with the Christian Kane croc dress? I still have wistful dreams about that belt, and have tried to find one like it for years! If you see one anywhere please share a link on the blog and I will be eternally grateful.

  3. OMG, Megan! I never even thought to wear the croc belt with the croc dress. That is a brilliant idea! And I will definitely let you know if I find another one.
