In the Key of Man Repeller

In case you haven't heard, the Man Repeller is engaged! And her birthday was yesterday, so the only appropriate thing to do is celebrate by wearing layers, lots of them. One of the MR's recurring segments involves taking an outfit that would normally excited the male gender and, well, fixing it. You can check out her lessons in layering here and here. In related news, here I am on top of a parking garage doing the same thing for your viewing pleasure.

Dress from Urban Outfitters, Steve Madden pumps, vintage clutch

Meow! This outfit is sassy.. and tight.. and boring. Or perfect as any man would say. I say that this much spandex makes me itch. Let's move on to something that's less "buy me a drink" and more about letting your fashion freak flag fly.

Whew, that was a close call. Nothing like a little flannel to dampen a man's spirits. If your farmer brother isn't around (luckily mine usually is) to loan you his old shirts I suggest Target. I scooped up this little gem for $22!

Now we're talking. Remember, any excuse is a good excuse for fur.

Throw that mane up into a topknot, pile on the bracelets and for the love of Prada please take off those stilettos. I opted for the lace up booties that SB affectionately calls my "witch shoes." Note: topknot is non-negotiable.
