Buttoned with a Brooch

I had the flu over two weeks ago, but it wasn’t until yesterday that I finally started to feel more like myself. I still have a gnarly cough, but it was no small success that I was able to squeeze in a trip to the farmers’ market, the car wash, and out for high tea at the Montage with friends (my annual tradition during the Super Bowl), without feeling like I needed a 4-hour nap. It’s good to be on the road to recovery – at the very least to have the energy to put my hair up in an actual style and wear heels for an extended period of time.

    Love the tuxedo shirt with the black pants! So Classic and pretty- the brooch is a fun touch too. Collars buttoned up all the way are so trendy now!

    This is a really fun look. Interesting to see how you combined elegance (brooch) with casual (destructed jeans). You’re great at mixing trends!

    This is such a cool look, so together but relaxed at the same time – I’m convinced black and white is the ultimate perfection.
