Promise of Rain

November 8th, 2010

Free People Sunglasses, Joie Top, Gifted Kate Spade Jeans, Michael Kors Watch, Gifted Foley + Corinna Bag, Alaia Platforms, Essie “Lady Godiva” Polish

My closet is filled with all sorts of stripes (as seen here, here and here), but most of them are made of cotton and therefore undeniably casual. I found this top on sale this weekend and I love how the silk makes it dressier, but the billowy shape still feels relaxed. This was my uniform this past weekend (I switched out for black ballet flats for most of the day), since the days were warm, but rain clouds lingered in the distance the whole time.
