Cupcakes and Cashmere

Scalloped Lace

Banana Republic Scarf, Urban Outfitters Shirt, Forever 21 Skirt and Ring, Miss Sixty Pumps, Vintage Clutch and Bracelet

Every once in a while, I’ll come across a piece that is so undeniably feminine that it makes my heart skip a beat.  Yesterday, while hurriedly running around the mall, I ducked into Forever 21 and saw this scalloped lace skirt that I simply had to have.  Before I finished my Christmas shopping, I made a quick pit stop at home, just so I could wear it out with a v-neck and bright cashmere scarf for a casual daytime look.

    I just love how you are able to take something so dressy and make it a bit more casual, and it totally works! The skirt is beautiful!

    cute pics and lovely skirt! oh, i wish it would be as warm in here: it’s so much snow in finland, and tooo cold so it would be impossible to wear a skirt whitout tights or a tee without a warm jacket! but still love your style ;-)

    I love how you made it casual! I was in F21 yesterday but could not for the life of me find anything worth buying! (which is a huge shock for me). But you managed to pick out a really cute skirt! Sometimes going through all the racks wear me out. Btw, you are pretty as usual! :)
