I’m always a fan of dressing on theme, even when there’s no occasion. I couldn’t resist wearing this newly acquired anchor tee with my favorite high waist navy trousers.

What I Wore: White Collar

what I wore: pants – paulnkc via maude boutique, top – banana republic, collar necklace – urban outfitters, heels – qupid
Hallelujah! I’ve been looking for pants like these for years. It’s difficult to find both high waist & wide leg in an affordable trouser. Maude Boutique in Fayetteville has done a great job with these and I can see myself wearing them way too often.

Sorry I’ve been away! I had an unexpected injury over the weekend.

What We Wore: Polka Dots & Seersucker

what we wore: seersucker suit – bespoke vintage, shoes – asos, bow tie – handmade by my grandma, shirt – banana republic, dress – vintage christian lacroix via cheap thrills, platforms – jeffrey campbell (also wore them on my wedding day!), earrings – vintage from mae’s, cocktail ring – kate spade, clutch – tj maxx

A couple of weeks ago, Ro and I went to New Orleans for the wedding of a friend. I knew it would be a chic affair so the outfit planning began months ago.
On Ro: My mom found this seersucker suit at a thrift store and bought it for one of my brothers. They were not interested so she gave it to Ro. Coincidentally, it fit him beautifully. I learned how to tie a bow tie for the occasion so that he could wear one of my papa’s (my grandma made a bow tie to match every dress).

On me: I found this dress by accident at cheap thrills. Harriet (the proprietor) was showing me a full length leopard fur in the back room and I spied this adorable polka dot number. I asked about it and she said it wasn’t exactly for sale but she’d lend it to me. I tried it on and we both agreed that I had to have it. So, out of the goodness of her heart, she sold it to me.
We had a fabulous time.

What I Wore: Pattern Play

what I wore: dress – ann taylor (also here) , platforms – bamboo (buy them here), belt – hot topic, earrings – vintage from mae’s

What I Wore: Friday Night in Black & White

what I wore: halter – vintage from grey dog, trousers – vintage tux pants from cheap thrills, earrings – vintage from mae’s, belt – target, platforms – bamboo, bracelet – express

 On the weekends, I love to really play with what I wear and this was such a fun outfit. Pictured with my friend Leah, Ro and my mama.

What I Wore: Tropicana

what I wore: dress – grey dog, arm party – mae’s/vintage/dannijo/express, lips – covergirl outlast in everreddy & covergirl lip perfection in hot (seriously this requires no reapplication), belt/shoes – forever21

I first tried on this beauty at grey dog a few weeks ago, I tried to resist but soon $ was burning a hole in my pocket and forced me back in the shop. Now, I’m so glad I went. What would my wardrobe have been without this adorable tropicana confection? It’s a vacation in dress form.
