What I’m Wearing Today

It’s chilly out so we must do something to brighten our mood. I love this little shift which can be integrated into all seasons. I don’t know about you but I cannot wait for warmer weather.

Bangles: Inspiration and DIY

I love bangles. They can dress up a no-frills outfit or add intricacy to to layers. It’s a great way to mix old and new or high and low. Here is Caroline Trentini looking gorgeous in hers in the June 2009 Numero. Scroll down for DIY suggestions. PS: They make chic gifts for girlfriends!

I just got a look-alike pair to the above skinny olive cargos and I couldn’t be more excited! I found them for $14.99 at TJ Maxx but apparently Forever21 also has them, although I couldn’t find them online.

Skirting the Issue

I’m ashamed to admit that I watched the season premiere of Keeping up with the Kardashians on Sunday. I’m usually against Kim’s style choices for one reason (she wears too much make-up) or another (her clothes are too tight) but Sunday, I really liked the outfit she wore for her house party. I couldn’t find a photo of it but here is the link. She wore a structured top with a short full skirt. It got me in the mood for skirts and I’ve found some cute ones, all under $100 of course…
