Working Hard or Hardly Working

skirt and blouse- JCrew, heels- Bebe

I wore this outfit to work the other day. I work at a law firm in LA and they’re extremely casual. I refuse to wear jeans and flip flops like some people but I still need a balance. I chose this denim skirt and pink blouse and paired it with these brownish gold heels.

Lily Allen for Chanel?

Is this a joke? Don't get me wrong.. I have nothing against Lily Allen. But I just would expect the new face of Chanel to be someone with a little more...what's the word...class?

Summer Plaid

blouse- thrifted, jean shorts- target, woven yellow flats- urban, wooden bracelets- thrifted

I am eating chips and salsa..making it a meal...thinking about how I don't want to start my homework. This plaid top was a great find at a thrift store for $1. I know..I couldn't believe it either! I love great (and cheap) finds! I'm looking forward to my next thrifting adventure. I want to find some '60 print dresses. I've decided I need to stray away from the solid color scheme.. especially during summer!

Challenge: Crop Top

I really want to start experimenting and playing around with crop tops. I don't think I've worn a midriff bearing top since high school..and for a good reason! I like the ones more recently shown because they aren't skin tight (like those ones from Abercrombie). They're looser and I think they look great with pants or body con skirts. Here are some pictures that have inspired me to incorporate the crop top. I'll post pictures soon with my own :)

The lovely Liz from Late Afternoon
similar from Urban
I like the asymmetrical cut.

Krystal from This Time Tomorrow incorporates both the color and shape of the ones above.

Sigh we'll see how I do...

Rag and Bone Resort 2010

I like the layering, gray and blues, rough details and tights. I want some of these pieces for fall!

Studded Ballet Slippers

I still love these studded ballet slippers from Bona Drag. I could probably make them if I have time, considering I have actual slippers in pink. Whether I'll get down to buy the studs is questionable. Still for $48 it's not bad.
