6 brights, As you wish GVH
6 bright tights; Part 2 of GVH's styling request.
Okay really, it is the request, but I wanted to show her some patterns too,
hence yesterdays post... Anywhay...
GVH wanted some suggestions on bright tights to go with this uber cute ModCloth dress. With a dress as darling as this, it's hard to go wrong. All 6 colors are from American Apparel. Now normally my go to for tights would be We Love Colors, but in a pinch, when you don't have time to wait for the mail, American Apparel is a great resource. The tights are a good quality, the color range is pretty wide, and the price is reasonable (in relation to the quality).
Which color is your favorite?
I want them all of course, but seem to be leaning toward the softer look of the Burnt Sienna.

2 prints, As you wish GVH!
Stylist TKP (tall-katie-petix, it's a thing...) comin' at you from the request lines!
One of my favorite gingers (hi GVH!) in the whole wide world asked me to help her with styling this adorable dress from ModCloth for a wedding. With a dress as cute as this, it was a breeze. Here are my first 2 options, both utilizing tights with prints...
Tomorrow I'll tackle some bright solid tights.
Also just a reminder, I love hearing from you! I am happy to take all sorts of requests and put my spin on them. You can always feel free to email me (katie@today-i-want.com) or tweet at me (@katiepetix)!

As You Wish!
Did you know I take requests? Happily! I love a good fashion challenge, so feel free to send styling inquires to me! I may not be able to get to it right away, but I promise if I can't blog about I will at least share my thoughts and ideas via email. Email me at KatiePetix@gmail.com
Shelly found this adorable, bright and tasty necklace on etsy and wanted some input on what to pair it with. If you really want to make this necklace shine you need to pair it with complimentary solids, it would just get lost with a print.
Here's what I think...
Outfit #1
A Casual Weekend
Outfit #2
Dinner and Drinks After Work
Outfit #3
Sunday Brunch
The best part about these three outfits? They are totally mix and match!
Hope this helps you Shelly!

spanish blue leather? yes please!
I went to highschool with a lovely lady named Chess.
We reconnected as so many people do on the book of faces!
"What would you pair with these?" and I replied, "Everything!"
I do so love a wedge and how can anyone resist the bright blue!?
I have a feeling this spring/summer is going to be all about saturated colors for me! How about you?
I pulled out my yearbook from '94-'95 freshman year,
which really wasn't all that long ago...... really......
and looked up where Chess signed. She said,
Hi Katie! "Did I ever tell you that you're my hero?"
Anyways, hope your summer's great! Love Ya, Chess
I have no idea if that was some joke we had or she was just being silly of her own accord, but reading it this morning made me laugh.

Speakeasy Struggle!
Lilpnut is going to a speakeasy themed New Years Eve Party (sooooo jealous btw, how do I get an invite!?) and asked for some accessory assistance. She bought this super cute flapper-esque mini dress from Forever21. Being that the party is tomorrow, all my finds are from Forever21 and Macys so she can swing by and pick them up ASAP! A quick note about theme partys: I have found unless you are going to a theatre costume shop with professional costumes, or you have done extensive research on specific era clothing and accessories, it's generally best to do a modern twist on whatever the theme may be. If not, you can end up looking cheap and cheap is never a good look!
Forever21
1. Black Feathered Headband 2. Long Spherical Bead Necklaces in Gold/Cream Black/Dark Grey & Black/Cream 3. Antique Rhinestone Ring in Dark Grey 4. Suedette Open Toe Heels in Black 5. Metallic Pattern Handbag
Macy's
1. Givenchy Bracelet 2. Givenchy Necklace 3. Givenchy Ring 4. Aerosoles Pumps in Black Suede 5. Jessica McClintock Clutch
Hope this helps Pnut!

As You Wish
Today's 'As You Wish' post was a request from a highschool friend / facebook friend who wanted to see some of my picks for leather goodies. Honestly, I could do an entire week of leather, it's one of my favorite textiles for shoes and bags. Instead, I've just cherry picked a few items, all from ASOS. I love how it runs the gamut from super tough chick to lovely vintage lady.
Sonia Rykiel Noeud Lace Up Boots , Oasis Shearling Aviator Leather Jacket , Karen Millen Studded Leather Skinny Belt , 1971 Reiss Gael Leather Motorcycle Pant , Warehouse Leather Buckle Satchel Bag , 1971 Reiss Katrin Leather Pleated Kilt , Warehouse Long Washed Leather Gloves , Bing Bang & Timo.Weiland Brass and Leather Bow Ring , Vivienne Westwood Leather Gloves
