snakeskin + things






The last few weeks have been crazy busy, and as a result, my outfits have been much less bold (as evidence in my last few posts). 

I've been getting into wearing more neutrals -- creams, blacks, browns -- and mixing more subtle patterns together. Something about keeping it simple (you can't get more classic than Coach C's and an oversized watch) makes me have that nostalgic back-to-school-brandy-new feeling all over again.

shift season









One style I know I will still be wearing when I'm 90? The shift dress -- my favorite shape, ideal length, a bajillion possibilities...

I like that many options in a dress.

feeling 90s







This dress totally reminds me of the 90s cool kids -- but without the jellies and butterfly clips. Updating it to the 21st century with super straight hair and simple black and white -- I swear I'll cry when summer is gone and I have to put these sandals in storage.

TGIF!

deep violet







I wanted this dress the very second I saw it -- it almost became an impulse purchase. I love when things you are crazy for go on sale, don't you?

boyfriend, boyfriend







Wearing some ideal boyfriend jeans, and a top straight from the men's section -- with girly elements of course. Who doesn't love borrowing from the boys? Happy Wednesday! xx

palm






Some morning print mixing in black and white today, and in the comfiest fabrics I own. I love how these patterns kind of meld into each other, especially with a punch of graphic detail (hello stripes). 

I got a french manicure for the first. time. ever. this week -- a little early week pampering never hurt anybody -- and I am smitten. Simple, polished. It makes me feel kind of fancy.

This week has been flying! Happy Thursday. xx
