Outfitting: My panda bear is staring at you, too

So this outfit was a total experiment. I had gotten the band jacket off ModCloth because I thought, if anyone were in the market for a band jacket, this had to be the best example of one out there, provided you didn't want to spend more than about $75. The details are all wonderful, from the gold braided cords across the front, to the big brassy buttons, to the detailed epaulettes on the shoulders. I can't deny it's a bold piece, very flashy, very Michael Jackson (r.i.p.).

That's one thing I love about working at ModCloth - it's really encouraged me to take more fashion risks that I'd never have considered before. So I thought I'd give it a try.  The panda tee I absolutely love, even though it doesn't seem to elicit much of a reaction out of people. But they do love those studded Dolce Vita flats.
