Cupcakes and Cashmere

Weekend Warrior

May 10th, 2010

J.Crew Selvedge Chambray Shirt, Anthropologie Headband, Vintage Glasses, Michael Kors Watch, Topshop Lace Skirt, Alaia Platforms (seen here, here and here) Gifted Coach Leather Large Drawstring Bag

I’d been reluctant to embrace the light denim trend since it reminded me too much of my acid-washed days of 2nd grade. When I was in J.Crew though, I couldn’t resist this chambray shirt that feels like your boyfriend’s button down, but in a more manageable size. As it turns out, it’s way more versatile than I could have imagined and I incorporated it into several outfits and just dressed it up or down accordingly. This past weekend was one of the best I can remember in a long time. There was nothing in particular that was exceedingly special about it, but it was just what I needed.

I’d forgotten how good blue and black look together. Lovely.

I was unsure of the denim shirts coming back… but I like your mix of rough and fab, casual and fierce… “fierce” who am I, christian siriano? Ha. Nice job, at any rate.

How fun is your outfit?! I love the mixture of dressy and casual. I totally love rockin’ the headwrap on the forehead and I’m glad someone else has also embraced it.

Emily, I’m glad you had such a good weekend! It’s great to feel refreshed and recharged. Loving your outfit, you put the most unique pieces together that I would never assume would go together, but you make it look incredible!

Super cute shirt! I love it paired with the skirt too. I’ve been rather reluctant to embrace the denim shirt trend but might give it a go now! Lucy Laucht

You look gorgeous as always — that is the exact reason I haven’t tried light denim yet, actually, but it looks fab on you! Love the shoes, per usual.

What shoes are they? Have to agree with the consensus, they are pretty special. Nice pairing with the lace skirt.
