I and Love and You


What I'm wearing:
*Diane von Furstenberg Nuage Top in Ultraviolet
*H&M Polka Dot Shorts (similar here)
*Steve Madden Nataliaa Platform Sandals in Black
*Forever 21 Reading Glasses Necklace (similar here)
*Forever 21 Scalloped Purse (similar here)

Who ever thought that I'd don a pair of polka dot shorts? These caught my eye while I was just in a browsing mood at the mall. They are silky and drape-y and I think they transition well from day to night. (And they were a steal, under $20!)

I had a hard time getting an accurate depiction of the color of this blouse. Instead of the royal blue that it seems like on my monitor, it is actually a nice rich purple shade.

I love the scallop detail and the dusty mauve color. I just feel so lady-like carrying this!

 Fancy sleeves make me feel fancy. (And happy.)

I love my reading glasses necklace, it's such an easy accessory to throw on over any simple top. I think I am especially fond of this one because I've been wearing glasses since I was in 2nd grade, they are such an integral part of me! (I now wear contacts, but do wear glasses from time to time and wear them whenever I am home.)

I have a wedding to attend this weekend in Chicago (yay for C getting married!) and I am super excited about it, but stumped on what to bring. I'm not even sure what I am wearing to the ceremony/reception, and definitely not sure what to bring to wear for everything else. I'll be stopping in NY on my way to and from the wedding, and I need to pack everything I need in a carry on. (I have intense luggage getting lost paranoia.) Wish me luck! Anyone else have any fun Labor Day weekend plans?
