As I was catching up on watching How I Met Your Mother episodes last night, I spotted Robin wearing this cardigan (or something very similar). It reminded me that I had this cardigan that I really like that I have not really given a second glance lately. On the show she paired it with a simple black top, but I decided that it would be fun to pair with this flowy bird printed top from Forever 21. It has these diagonal tiers, which you can't see you well in my photos but in the stock photos online it is a bit more evident. I wasn't sure what to pair with it on the bottom, I thought a pair of wide leg trousers would look great, but I don't own any! I really like the purple color with the black & white, and for a second I thought it was too much, but I decided there is no such thing as too many ruffles or tiers.

Love these cut out boots, they were only $20 in store! 

Really excited today because my other sister is coming to visit! =) We have some fun stuff planned for her, lots of yummy eating and shopping.

On a sadder note, Alexander McQueen has died. I think Anna Wintour put it best:

"We are devastated to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest talents of his generation. He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen’s influence was astonishing - from street style, to music culture and the world’s museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss."
