This outfit is the result of having entirely too much time to get ready. Yesterday morning I woke up at 4am and could not go back to sleep (rare occurrence). So I got up, showered and spent two hours leisurely getting ready, as there was nothing else to do. I like this outfit even though it’s a lot going on. I find that I like looks that either say a lot or say next to nothing. Sometimes you need 2 necklaces, 3 bangles and 6 rings to feel dressed, sometimes it feels like the fewer the better. I’ve been wearing a lot of blue lately. I think it’s nice to do a really feminine hair style with such a tailored look. I’m really excited about an upcoming collaboration. More details soon!

This outfit was a random idea I had before going to bed the night before. I thought – why don’t I tie a sash around the neck of a button down top or dress? So, I did and for once, it worked!
What I Wore: The Marine Layer
what I wore: dress – vintage via cheap thrills, platforms – go jane, earrings – charm & chain

This lovely little number can be worn many ways thanks to the sash that can be wrapped inside or out. I love a good kaftan!
What I Wore: Pumped Up Kicks
What I Wore: Breaking the Rules
what I wore: dress – vintage paper white from cheap thrills, slip – target, platforms – forever 21
I’ve never adhered to the no white after labor day rules. No, maybe I wouldn’t wear a strapless white shift with sandals in the snow, but that’s really about practicality and not about following set guidelines. On the first day of March, the forecast was for 74 degrees. I am a self-proclaimed sun worshiping summer lover and I took the opportunity to wear a white lattice dress. I knew the minute my eyes locked on this dress that it would have to be mine. You know that moment when you have the internal argument with yourself about how much money you can possibly let yourself spend? Luckily it was $18. And I have to tell you this is the very best silhouette for ANY WOMAN. Ladylike & feminine, it accentuates the waist, shows the legs and covers the arms. PERFECTION.
What I Wore: Greenery
what I wore: cardi – express, skirt – vintage melrose options via potter’s house, booties – gojane.com
I’ve been dying to try this outfit out. It’s an old (see 1995) Express cardi worn backwards with a new-to-me vintage silk skirt from potter’s house. Topped off with neon green booties (called yellow on site) I just purchased at gojane.com. Go Jane has been such an exciting find for shoes lately! The prices are great and the heels are high! I also got these great orange high tops that I plan to wear with delicate skirts ala TTH & some giant tweed platforms in blue. Scroll for more photos!
What I Wore: The Rhinestone Bowtie
what I wore: dress – forever 21, blazer – liz claiborne, platforms – jessica simpson, earrings – forever 21, rhinestone bowtie – vintage family heirloom, ring – kate spade
So I basically recreated my vday fuschia monochrome but changed it up with the shoes and the bows. I love this outfit.
What I Wore: 80’s Revival
what I wore: dress – vintage maggy london via cheap thrills, belt – old from Maude, heels – gianni bini

I love the shoulder detail on this funky/fun little dress I found at Cheap Thrills recently. Without the belt, the dress morphs into 80s-extreme!
What I Wore: Western
what I wore: button down – vintage lee via cheap thrills, jeans – asos, heels – forever 21
Friday, I wore my “Dwight Yoakam” pants and a delightful western button down I found at Cheap Thrills. They are Dwight Yoakam pants because they are extremely tight and caused my legs to fall asleep from numbness. Also appearing – my high pony.
