Okay, so remember last week when I was complaining about the literally freezing 30 degree weather? Now it's in the high 70s here. Southern California is such a spaz. I had all these genius winter outfit ideas in my head (not actually involving clothes I own), but then 'bam!' I had to come up with a bunch of summery things instead. Because three shirts and a jacket just don't fly in January summer.
Anyway, I have a confession to make. Last week, I bought three sequined shirts. I guess I was feeling...sparkly? I might already own several striped shirts, but this one is shiny. So it's totally justified. Making excuses is the first step to recovery, right? Right.
I hope you had a happy weekend! I managed to watch the whole first season of Girls on dvd, so obviously, my weekend was very productive.
Love this outfit! It's just so sophisticated but still super fun - love the sparkle! Haha we've been having bipolar weather here too - heatwave one day, jeans and jacket weather the next. Keeps things interesting :)

Oh geez!! It's like 7 degrees here in Chicago..brrrr. This outfit is fantastic! I just started a new job where I need to dress business casual and this has given me some serious inspiration - love it! Of course I would have to add a couple more layers to stay warm, but for summer this is great! Happy to have found your blog on the yolo monday blog hop! :)

We have snow here, I guess that's the difference between California and Pennsylvania in the winter! I adore this outfit though, it's so work chic!

I love your outfit! Very cute. I'm dreaming of warmer days... I'm in the middle of a VERY cold winter!
ReplyDeleteI really like the sparkle on that top, just the right amount. It must be hard to dress when the weather keeps going up and down in temperature. Our weather is consistent at the moment, freezing and snow haha. I really like your blog and am now following :)

Sparkly striped tops are a necessity. You show me someone who disagrees, and I will show you a liar.
