rediscovered.

Whenever I feel like I have nothing to wear (which is just about every morning), I try digging through my closet and dusting off a few oldies.  I love pairing pieces that I haven’t worn in forever like this navy tank (May 2012) and this white lace skirt (December 2012) and suddenly discovering a new outfit to add to the arsenal.  It’s a great way to rediscover your wardrobe and an even better way to start the week.

P.S. Congratulations to Robin W. on winning my giveaway with The Rad Market!  I’ll be reaching out to you soon — can’t wait to see which piece you pick!

la vie bohème.

Wonder skinny snakeskin cuff bangle; CC Skye Maize geometric gold bracelet; J.Crew magenta skinny belt; Piperlime DV Dolce Vita Helia gold chevron cognac sandals; Linea Pelle Grayson Bar clutchI must not be feeling like myself lately.  Yesterday, I traded in my brights for neutrals, and today — probably for the first time ever — I’m pulling a bit of boho in my outfit.  You may have noticed, but my looks are generally classic, prim, preppy and sometimes even a little punk-inspired, but I’ve never really dabbled in la vie bohème.

Wonder skinny snakeskin cuff bangle; CC Skye Maize geometric gold bracelet; J.Crew magenta skinny belt; Piperlime DV Dolce Vita Helia gold chevron cognac sandals; Linea Pelle Grayson Bar clutchWell this Gentle Fawn dress was the perfect excuse to experiment with my style.  The earthy colors are the perfect compromise between my love of color and my recent desire to tone it down a few notches.  Paired with my new favorite tassel necklace and chevron-adorned sandals, and I’m pretty sure I could get used to this.

Don’t forget — today is the last day to enter my giveaway to win a bauble of your choice from The Rad Market.  Click here to enter and good luck!
