Outfit Post: Not Myself

I am a huge reader of fashion and street blogs, and I always see styles that I like, but am afraid to try for myself.  One of those styles was the socks-with-heels look, which looks amazing on models and bloggers with long, pretty legs, but on this pear-shaped gal?  I wasn't so sure.  I also love the grunge look, and while I've been rocking my leather jacket all fall/winter, I never tried to glam it up.

I decided to give both of these looks a try--with the same base outfit.  A simple long sleeved Anthropologie tee (that I thrifted!) and a vintage floral skirt.

Look #1:  Librarian (after one of my favorite My Morning Jacket songs)

 Look #2:  Grungy Gal (Just add red lips and a hat to cover your greasy mane. Or in my case: roots.)

I felt surprisingly comfortable in both outfits, but I wore the second one to dinner, Target and the grocery store. I think it's a little more street-friendly. The platforms are saved for special occasions and the platforms-with-socks look? It may just be reserved for dress up.  What would you do, fashionable readers?  Let us know in the poll below!
