OI: Purple Ballet and Prints

Those are my first ballet flats from the Crew, I like them so much they are all worn out now 😦 But the color is so vibrant still!

Some outfit ideas below from this week, let me know which you like best! I’ll update the links to the clothing items later today.

Outfit Inspiration: Swiss dots and Gingham

The weather has been fairly moody this week: unexpected warmth, rain then chilly wind.  The rain was screaming for some gingham so out came these Ralph Lauren boots purchased in Seattle, WA (note to self to visit Seattle when it is NOT raining).  I have paired them with the simple ponte peplum tee from J.Crew and some old BR skirt (I love the zipper effect created by pairing both items together).

The swiss dot tippi was a hot item last fall because of some celebrity wearing it (I want to say it was Katie Holmes, but not positively certain).  In any case, I was able to grab it on promo back then and am glad I did.

On a side note, I saw these very cute gloves at Anthropologies…and they get cuter here (I personally prefer the red leather driving gloves!)
