There is a lovely local designer in NWA called Leslie Pennel, her line is esque. I was lucky enough to pick up the above (what I thought was a) skirt from her line at Cheap Thrills.
I loved it as a skirt and while I am typically good at seeing the many ways one item can be worn, it was lost on me. The designer was nice enough to enlighten me to it’s many uses, which I utilized at the beach. If nothing else, it’s a reminder that we can wear the things in our closets in so many different ways.

When the temperature is over 100 there’s really not much I want to wear. I want to be a cool as possible. The best way I’ve found to do that is a) not get dressed or b) wear white. Since not getting dressed for work is typically frowned upon, white was the answer.
What I Wore: Muted Flowers

One of my favorite, most versatile dresses ever. It did get a little warm in the 100 degree + Arkansas heat, though.

I have really positive feelings associated with this dress. I picked it out especially for our engagement pictures. Then wore it to a party and when we toured the Amalfi coast on our honeymoon. So, it always makes me happy to wear it. It doesn’t hurt that it’s super comfortable.
What I Wore: Blue Jean Baby
what I wore: jeans – levi via grey dog, blouse – vintage, heels – bcbg, bracelet – mae’s, earrings – mom’s

I found these amazing vintage levi’s last week at Grey Dog. I’m so excited about them because they’re the perfect length and rise. Also picked up the gorgeous silver bracelet at Mae’s – a local favorite.
What I Wore: Black & Blue
what I wore: blouse – ann chabrol, skirt – freeway, heels – gianni bini, earrings – mom’s
These are my “game of thrones” earrings. They look like little pirate swords and I plucked them from obscurity in my mom’s closet the other day. I’ve always been crazy about my mom’s jewels and have been lifting them from her for close to 16 years. Every time I look through her jewelry I find something I haven’t seen before – something I want… Luckily, she lets me borrow and borrows from me.
