Usually I don’t have pictures of what I wore on the weekend but I’m trying to get better. I typically feel awkward asking someone to take a photo because it always ends up an ordeal. Last weekend, I forced the issue. I even got a snap of Ro, looking handsome if I do say so myself.

What Ro wore: polo – curly tail, pants/shoes – asos, watch – tissou, sunnies – rayban

What I Wore: Jumping Jumper

what I wore: jumper – byer too! (thrifted), socks – forever21, heels – jessica simpson, earrings – vintage (mom’s), sunnies – vintage ray ban

I asked my little brother to take a few photos of me and this was the result. Slightly on the ridiculous side, just the way I like it.

What I Wore: Going Southwest

what I wore: blouse – carole little for st tropez west (thrifted, find the brand here), skirt – max studio, boots – asos (similar) or these, turquoise earrings – forever21, turquoise beads – mae’s

*

I don’t know if you noticed, but I get some pretty amazing treasures from Mae’s. If you’re local and you haven’t been by there, you are completely missing out. I got these beads a few weeks ago and was giddy when I realized how well they went with my $3 earrings from Forever. You know how I love dressing on a theme, so I went full-on southwest with the whole ensemble.

What I Wore: Topsy Turvy

what I wore: top – forever21, trousers – talbots (thrifted), heels – antonio melani (similar here)
I really liked the juxtaposition of stripes on the shirt with checkers on the pants but I couldn’t figure out what to do with the shirt because the pants are a little big. I tried tucked in, tied to the side, tied in front and finally settled on tied in the back. Then I rolled the pants.

What I Wore: Brocade Detail

what I wore: dress –ann tobias, blazer – julie and leonard suits, heels – nine west, earrings – gifted. bow ring – forever21

*

This dress is another fabulous thrift store find. I love the strong shoulders and especially the brocade detailing.

What I Wore: Color Story

what I wore: blouse – blair boutique (thrifted), wax skinnies – 1st kiss via tj maxx, scarf – oscar de la renta, boots – asos

What I Wore: Gold Lamé Trench + Details

what I wore: knit – vintage, trousers – ny & co, trench – ralph lauren (a gift from my mom), platforms – steve madden, infinity pin – vintage B pin – mae’s

What I Wore: The Basic Black Dress

what I wore: dress – thrifted dkny, pointy pumps – thrifted michael antonio, earrings – forever21
I hadn’t been overly enthused about pointy toe heels coming back until I found these lovely stilettos at a thrift store. Never worn, $3. Deal.

What I Wore: A Favorite LBD

what I wore: dress – vintage/handmade by a seamstress’ union via cheap thrills, platforms – target, earrings – in retrospect

My uncle turned 60 this past weekend and we all congregated in Little Rock to fete him. This is one of my all-time favorite dresses. I feel like it’s the quintessential LBD – versatile, flattering & simple. Below, I’m with Ro & my brothers.
