mixed textures.

I love the look of rough tweed mixed with a dainty lace piece. I found these two items today and I'm seriously craving them. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

You can mix prints and not look hoakey! Here's a great example:

happy weekend.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Hellooooo Weekend!!! I am so excited for this weekend because it's my first weekend in 3 weeks where I can do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Don't you just love it when that happens? ::sigh::

I hope you like this outfit post. The light blue and the salmony-mauve (?) color are so unexpected yet very complementary. 

p.s. If you know the name of this color (or can come up with your own creative name), please let me know in the comments section. I've been struggling with that all day!

Have a great and restful weekend, everyone!

I present to you the fourth blazer week post, and I hope you love it as much as I do. My favorite item in the collection are the flats. There's something so luxe about them, and they're only $24.95.   

One note about wearing dresses to work: Any dress, or skirt for that matter, should not be shorter than 1 inch above the knee, or longer than 1 inch below. 

It's a great idea to take a look at the measurements posted on the website. The Piperlime website claims this dress is 38 inches. To make sure this fits, I measure from my adam's apple down to my knee to see that 38 inches works. I'm 5'4", and I tend to find that anything at the 36 inch range is ideal. However, if you're curvier, 36 inches may be too short. It all depends on your body type, which is why everyone should learn to measure themselves in order to make the most of their online shopping. 

Dummies has a great description on how to measure your own body: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-get-your-body-measurements.html

ciao!
