The Sixties

That title refers to both my decade of inspiration and the current weather conditions. Can you believe it? When I snagged this jacket on clearance at H&M recently, I did not expect to debut it so soon. After this summer, I'm elated by these delightfully cool temperatures!

Girls' Night Out

I'll jump on any excuse to get a little fancy, so I did just that for a ladies' night over the weekend. While I've had this dress for quite awhile, I've only worn it a couple of times. I fell in love with the low back, bow detail and straight, '20s-style fit all over again. Some glitzy new earrings, a silver clutch and floral shoes complete this appropriately girly ensemble.

True Blue

I'm loving the monochromatic trend lately. While I tend to favor bold warm colors, all blue felt like a perfectly understated way to pull off the look, and the slightly darker denim breaks it up a bit. A few neutral accessories help to offset the sea of blue.

Quite Casual

This was one of those outfits that I just threw on for comfort without much thought, but I ended up really liking it. Don't you love it when that happens? Though it's just a tee and jersey skirt, the little bee necklace and floral oxfords make it feel more special.

New Life

As someone who has an obnoxiously hard time letting go of stuff, I'm trying to evaluate my closet with a ruthless, discerning eye. There have been a few instances, however, that I've seen potential in an old garment. This sort of drab shirt dress (last seen here) is one example. After snipping the sleeves off, it feels much more of-the-moment, and the necklace almost seems like part of the dress! Do you have any tricks for revitalizing old stuff, or do you just get rid of it when you're bored?

I managed to wear this outfit twice without getting any pictures. Third time's the charm!

Moving On Up

Profuse apologies for my prolonged absence! In the midst of moving to a new apartment, my recent style was best left undocumented. One of the very few perks of moving is the potential to rediscover items in your closet. I picked up this jumpsuit on sale probably a year ago and only wore it once. While I think I will work on giving it a more tailored fit, it was fun to feel like I had a new piece! As I organize my new (and much smaller) closet, I'm sure more forgotten pieces will pop up, and I plan to put some items up for sale soon!
