WHAT I WORE

Aug 12, 2013

brights and stripes make for such an easy + summery outfit. i received this skirt from cori lynn early last year and it's proved to be such a timeless wardrobe staple. i'd love to style it again for this fall with a sheer ruffled polka dot blouse and some vintage inspired heels. perfect for a blogger meet up (we're doing one in september, yay) or for an evening out with my honey.
other than that, this weekend i spent a bit of time transitioning my wardrobe. just a little bit. pulling out light sweaters, skirts and my favourite fall dresses. i also (nerd alert) organized my upcoming fall clothes and looks in a private pinterest board... and why stop there? i decided to get my geek on even more and organized all my blog content for august and september. anyone else type a? feel free to spill. no judgement here! ;)
outfit details: 
cardigan - old navy
skirt - c/o cori lynn
spiked bracelet - stella & dot
clutch - aldo shoes
shoes - jeffrey campbell (fave t-strap heel, here & here)

23 sweet notes:

  3. I love this look! Very Kate Spade. Also, can you come organize my closet too please?? I have been ignoring it and living out of laundry baskets since nothing I own fits my pregnant body anymore. It's bad. ;)

  4. Lovely outfit, this skirt is so cute and love the color mix, very fresh and pretty, beautiful!
    And I also really have to get started on my fall organization and planification (I'm basically a control freak but somehow, never managed (so far!) to really stick to a schedule or a deadline of any kind...weird. Pinterest private board is actually a great idea, I never thought about that option, but I will, right now! Thanks for the idea girl!
    Have a lovely week, and I can't wait to see all of your fall outfits!
    Much love

  9. OMG, please don't talk about fall, it's depressing me, especially considering we barely had a summer! I absolutely love this ensemble, it's simple yet so sophisticated and chic. That skirt is a show-stopper. In a way, your styling reminds me a lot of Blair from Atlantic-Pacific, who is one of my favorite fashion bloggers. Glad I stumbled onto your blog today :)

  13. Ha ha, V, I'm so with you on the organising front! I have practically all of my posts already planned - and many of the photos already shot - for August and September. After all, I'm going to be moving and doing a lot of transitioning, might as well be prepared for the things I can prepare for, right? That's how I rationalise it to myself, anyway :) I think the organisation does pay off, though, and this look seems to be proving me right - the combination of coral and navy is so lovely on you! I've always been a big fan of your outfit posts, can't wait to see what you have in store for the fall :) Hugs!

  16. I love this look, so timeless and cute! I would've loved to buy one of those cori lynn skirts, but by the time I cottoned on to them, the navy stripe ones were all sold out. :( Where I am (Norway), Fall has arrived and I'm not sure I'm enjoying it - wanna swap places? ;P

  18. okay V, i spotted "the bracelet" right away! love that thing so much and have been wearing mine constantly :) twinsies is what - baha! and the kicker here is the pattern mix of stripes + leopard. you know you do it better than anyone i know and can render a blissful blending out of practically anything you get your pretty hands on.

    love how you got everything on a private pinboard too, so smart lovie!! organizing appeals to me too, we've had many a talk about this but seriously dude give me an excel spreadsheet and i'll give you a zen-like experience. it's a complete revelation to get things down in a folder or a doc where you can easily open it up and seek the solitude knowing that mischief is 100% managed. ha! awesomeness for reals! type a, not so sure but def on board the cultivated control train with ya.

    happiest week off wishes, you deserve it!! enjoy the moments V. i haven't begun florals, etc yet but hoping by end of week to start something for you. i was in the throws of pay period today, eep - kinda took my steam and rolled it into a sad little puff on nothingness. got a nightcap on the ready and we're digging into a netflix series called The Killing. have you guys heard about it? omg!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's beyond our fave - gives me memories of when we just started Breaking Bad. really off the charts rad, not kidding!!!! happy eve you 2. xo ♥

  20. Oh that cardigan is just so adorable and looks really cozy! So perfect with that sweater!

    Also, you are so much more organized than I am - that is awesome! I really need to get thinking about September blog content, but there never seems enough time until September 1. :P
