What I Wore: The Longest Legs

what I wore: trousers – asos, tank – old navy, jacket – bcbg, earrings – vintage via cheap thrills, platforms – FRH

I found these heels and knew they’d be perfect for the salmon colored ASOS trousers I’ve had for a year but haven’t worn. They are sooo long and I never actually get things hemmed (my love of heels stems from this laziness). I think they are the tallest I’ve ever worn, so I’m delightfully brimming on 5’9″.

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.

From the Weekend

A Tracy Reese jumpsuit I picked up at Cheap Thrills

A pre-party in Pine Bluff (wearing vintage Laura Ashley from Grey Dog)

The wedding (I wore vintage & earrings by Kenneth Jay Lane)

What I Wore: Mellow Yellow

what I wore: pants – old navy, sweater – isaac misrahi for target, platforms – bcbg, necklace – vintage
This necklace has been in my mom’s closet for as long as I can remember. I promptly lifted it from her only to discover it was broken! With a little help from my friends at Dark Star Visuals I restrung it and always love wearing it.

From the Weekend

Beaver Lake

Long weekends are always wonderful. We went to the lake, out to dinner, to the pool and farmer’s market. It finally feels like summer!

What I Wore: Pretty in Plaid

what I wore: dress – vintage penny rosenfeld via cheap thrills (seen here), heels – jessica simpson, cateye sunnies – asos

This is one of my favorite dresses. I had a moment when I spotted it, like it had to come home with me no matter the price tag. I love the color, the silhouette, the waist-cinch, the length, neckline, skirt. I mean….I love it. I haven’t worn it since last summer and I’m so happy to see it/wear it again. I think it’s really important for those of us who love clothes to always be on the lookout for items that make us feel more like ourselves.

What I Wore: Librarian-Chic

what I wore: dress – french connection (thrifted), heels – quipid, glasses – shop ultra, watch – bcbg, bangles – vintage & dannijo, nails – revlon
Glasses are one of those accessories that can completely change your look. These are my favorite frames from Shop Ultra, I immediately feel smarter (and chicer).

What I Wore: All American

what I wore: blouse – vintage ralph lauren, jeans – asos, earrings – grey dog, wedges – gianni bini

Sometimes I love an easy blouse/denim combo. It feels both classic and fresh.

What I Wore: Nostalgia

what I wore: dress – nostalgia, belt – vintage, heels – vince camuto, earrings – vintage from mae’s

This dress is so aptly branded. I didn’t realize the name of the brand until I took it off to record it for this post, but it is nostalgia. The reason it’s nostalgic to me is that this dress was purchased for me by my mother on a girls’ trip to Eureka Springs, she also bought the same dress for herself and we proceeded to gallivant around in these matching dresses for subsequent years. This was about 15 years ago. The dress is still relevant and we both still have ours! Isn’t that fun?
