We're so close to something better left unknown


What I'm wearing:
*LOFT Brush Dot V Neck Shell in Light Peach
*J.Crew Jackie Cardigan in Burnished Olive
*Vintage Kissing Mice Belt
*anthropologie Velvet Skirt
*Cole Haan Patent Wedges

You know one of those weekends where you have a lot of fun, but end up completely exhausted by Sunday night? I had one of those. I'm still recuperating from all the fun I've had. It was a great weekend, but not the relaxing one I was anticipating.


This was a quick look to put together. Printed top + solid cardigan + skirt + belt + tights + patent pumps. It's a go to formula for an easy work outfit.

  11. Oh wow, at least you got to relax on Sunday, right? And hey, sometimes we all need to play hard, damned be the consequences, haha! I really like your look today, too -- it's bright, but the black skirt, tights, and shoes make it wonderfully vampy, too!
