What I Wore: Pattern Play
what I wore: trousers – tommy hilfiger, top – fun 2 fun, heels/earrings – forever21

Last week I experimented with dots and stripes. I’m not sure I will wear it again but it was fun to try.
What I Wore: Good Business
what I wore: blouse – vintage, dress/belt – forever21, heels – report signature, earrings – vintage via cheap thrills, sunnies – vintage rayban, tulle tutu – ebay
–
The purchase of a tulle tutu to wear under skirts/dresses has to be one of my best all-time purchases. It gives volume and also length when a hemline is a little high for the office.
What I Wore: Pinstripes & Peter Pan
what I wore: blouse – stephanie (thrifted), pants – cool collection, heels – gianni bini, watch – bcbg
–
I loved this little speckled blouse with the peter pan collar as soon as I spotted it at Potter’s House Thrift. At $2, it definitely came home with me!
What I Wore: Chevron
what I wore: dress – ann taylor, flats – go jane, bracelet – dannijo, sunglasses – asos
–
I love chevron. It feels really funky, I also love these comfortable green flats from go jane. Sometimes when I wear a shorter hemline to the office, I try to tone it down with flats so it’s not soooo much leg.
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.

Ahh winter white. I thought of this outfit in my head and was pleasantly surprised when it came out just as good on my person. That does not always happen. More often than not, a collection of pieces looks far better in my mind’s eye than on my body. It’s always nice to prove yourself wrong. Anyway, I love wearing white. I think it looks good in the summer when you have a bit of a glow and it looks great in the winter because as pale as I may feel, I’m never as “white” as white. I think the black really makes it pop. On a personal note, my girlfriends and I went to see Bring It On: The Musical last night. I was completely floored! It was so good! I highly recommend it.
PS: I finally made an extra hole in the ankle strap of my platforms (with a large safety pin). It made all the difference and now I don’t feel like I will die in those shoes one day.
A few lovely things
