Vintage Rose







What I'm wearing:
J.Crew Merino Rose Corsage Cardigan in Vintage Rose
LOFT Paisley Jersey knit tank dress
black tights
anthropologie Tawny Acres boots
Botkier Trigger Clyde Satchel

Pink is not a color I reach for often, but once in awhile it can totally brighten up my day. Love this "vintage rose" color from J.Crew, I know it has a bit of a grandma feel to it but I find it feminine and flirty. This jersey knit dress was my steal from LOFT ($3!!), I packed it for my stay at my parents' house because I knew I could layer any one of a bazillion possible cardigans over it. I think the vintage pink does a nice job of brightening up the darker print. This outfit is a teensy bit too saccharine for me, but it made me happy which is important, right?

Pulled this old Botkier Clyde satchel out of hiding. I love the hunter green color, and the distressed leather that just seems to get better with time. Bought this ages ago with my sister at Neiman Marcus Last Call for a steal. We just couldn't walk away from it!



Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! Today we went out for brunch, I had the most delicious pumpkin pancakes. (I love anything pumpkin flavored.) My sister got french toast, another favorite of mine, so of course I had to steal a couple of bites. Yum!

  2. $3!!!! That's such a great deal for a dress that you will surely be able to transition through the seasons. Seeing you and your sister in your Tawny Acres boots makes me regret not buying them.

  3. Rosa--I love how daring you are with your color combination today! I would never have thought to pair pink with blue and finish it off with hunter's green! They are in harmony with each other. Great job!

  4. I loved that bag when it came out and I STILL love that bag now. Glad you pulled it out. Also that's a great steal for $3. You really can't go wrong. :)

  5. That bag is perfection. Seriously. And you're making me want that cardigan a leeetle too much. But that bag. That BAG! I am very very very picky about purses but that one is insane. I think I must have it.

  6. That's such a weirdly delicious color scheme you've got going on...the papaya color with the green and blue 0.o Adore.

  9. Love your bag and your sweater! Your color combo today is so pretty.
    And LOFT has the best sales -- I got a dress there for $5. I felt like I was getting away with a crime or something, haha so amazing!

  10. It does look a little too sweet, but I think the blue dress tones it down

    If you tried to wear a pink dress or white with that pink sweater, it would be too much

    With that being said.. I want the entire outfit.

  12. I have a dark green RM MAM that I've had for years and it is still my go-to handbag. I love how it matches with tons of things and is a little more oomphy than black. I also admire how you are so stylish even while hanging out at your parents' house. I go dumpy casual whenever I visit mine.
