Dressing down

Acne angora knit sweater (cream version here), Lover labyrinth lace dress, Alexander Wang kori oxfords, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Karen Walker rings (rabbit & heart) Darker days seem to call for darker wardrobe choices, with black on black on black making an appearance more than once over the past couple of weeks.
