Structured Silhouettes

October 17th, 2011



Elizabeth and James Sunglasses, J.Crew Necklace, Zara Blouse and Skirt, Reed Krakoff Bag, Prada Shoes, Michael Kors Watch, Vintage and J.Crew Bracelets, Revlon Orange Flip Lipstick

I’m not usually one to scoop up the same item in multiple colors (as I did with this top in both white and black), but I found it far too versatile to pass up. It’s structured enough to pair with sleek silhouettes, but also casual enough to balance out a pair of relaxed jeans. Yesterday I decided to dress it up and added a swipe of orange lipstick, threw my hair up in a bun and put on my favorite cat-eye glasses.

    Commenting about anonymous’s post-
    While the stuff you wear is hardly in my price range I use your outfits for INSPIRATION. Which can never have a price.

    Being a new follower I have no idea why the person is ranting about how you used to be but you seem sweet!

    Anyways…gorgeous as always. I am really loving that necklace!
