Fruit Salad

There is nothing like a fruit salad... even in the form of a tank!  I eyed this top all summer last year and decided to bite the bullet when it went on sale near the end of summer.  I love fruit, and any fruit related items always catch my eye so this shirt was right up my ally.  I love that it is a bit faded and has a mirrored, makes it perfect to pair with a long pendant necklace!  I am so shocked to see an identical one is available at J.Crew Factory!  I can not get enough of these skirts (this is in fact the same skirt as the polkadot skirt in this post).  As soon as the warm weather comes I am in a dress or a skirt 80% of the time and I would not have it any other way.  This ones stripes work so well when playing with patterns and if there were any more colors I would get them all (I already own 4).  

Also, meet my new bag...  such a beauty (there are other color choices).  It is the perfect size for day to day and although the color choice is not as practical as a black or taupe it surprisingly goes well with most of my spring and summer wardrobe (the pop of brown on the sides sealed the deal).  A longer strap is included and although I usually use the top handles, a longer strap comes in handy when carrying multiple things.  My sandals complement the bag perfectly and I am sad that they updated them because the newer versions are not as comfortable and no longer come in a solid brown- but if you like the style then they are practically identical and will be linked below.

Red Lips x 2

The holidays are a time for family, friends, and a red lip.  I love red pretty much all year but espically around the holidays.  This year I have been really into darker lipsticks but you can never go wrong with a classic red lip. I was ecstatic when I found this sweater at H&M, first of all it was 50% off and second of all it had an image of perfect red lips on it!  It was love at first sight.

I have really been loving skirts lately as well.  I read a lot of blogs and have realized that there are a lack of skirts in my wardrobe.  When I was browsing around at The Gap the other day I found this adorable one, on sale, and it was a tall length.  Typically I do not need extended lengths in my skirts but the flare in this one caused the back to be a bit short, so I was estatic when I found it in the longer length (it must have been an online return).  I loved the pattern and intantly started thinking of ways to pair the skirt all year round.  I cant wait to wear it with brighter colors in the spring!

I thought this outfit would be perfect for a family party.  Usually when I am around my family it's a low key occasion.  The sweater and the flats really dress the skirt down while creating a seamless finish, and once it's time to leave the sweater can be paired with a pair of pj pants for the ride home.

Hopefully I will be adding more skirts to my wardrobe.

 

Off the Beaten Path

With the weather up and down in the city of boston its is important to have pieces on call for those in-between days!  This outfit was comfy and casual enough for some weekend wear.  After enjoying some delicious crepes, Max and I found this adorable ally way, and stopped to take some pictures.  It was so cute and I loved how all the leaves collected along the sides.  

This outfit was easy enough to throw on after taking too long to get ready, I find that I often take extremely long in the morning when I don't have a time limit.  Since the skirt is tight I decided to pair it with a looser sweater.  It happened to be a bit too loose so I tied it at the side and it instantly made the outfit more casual and weekend-like (that's not even a word).  

Hope everyone has a fabulous week!
