and a little lace too.
Just pretend that alley is a red carpet (Oscars Woot!) and we’re in business.
Seriously though, you may notice something rare in the above photo, is that, dare I say (see) it, a smile?
Yes, yes it is. A half a bottle of wine in the afternoon, and a car pumping some Tom Tom Club while my photographer does a little shimmy will illicit that response.
Now if only there was a photo of my face a few moments later when a random passerby praised Kerri’s dancing and told me I should “audition to be a celebrity.” Watch out world, here we come!
I like this outfit because it’s high impact (no real wallflower here) and still super comfortable. And just before I left the house I hacked off the bottom six inches of this dress because it made me look matronly. I’m a fan of last minute modifications that way. I’m good with short, short, short, or just below the knee pencil skirts, but anything else makes me look a bit dowdy/short.
Do you know your best skirt length too?
I like to think a classic trench classes up any outfit and even takes the edge off my lace tights. In a good way though. I like to walk the line.
The Outfit: Jason Wu for Target Dress, Banana Republic Trench,Hue Lace Tights, Vintage Shoes, Madewell Pig Locket and a giant cocktail ring from I don’t know where! (But isn’t it fabulous?)
Photographer + Drinking Buddy: Kerri! Just the type of fitness instructor you want. ![]()
Location: My beloved DTLA.
Neon yellow + classic navy and red is quickly becoming one of my favorite color combinations for the spring. The neon feels fresh, festive, and evocative of one of my favorite office supplies: the highlighter! Oh! And do I have plans for this little (glitter) pig locket!
I mean, what else will fit in that tiny pork belly…
What about you guys?
Any fun finds this weekend? Closet hacks? Favorite spring color combinations?










for the love of all things holy, where can I get my hands on one of those pig lockets?! (I’m slightly afraid you are going to answer with something incredibly cool, like you found it at the bottom of a box at a flea market and bought it for $1)
You’re in luck- my pretty little pork is not a one-off or flea market find… it’s from Madewell. Go get yourself a pig girl!
LOVE the outfit! I wish I was brave/stylish enough to pull something like that off – it would never work on me!
I enjoyed my visit to your lovely blog! Hugs, Katherine
Welcome! So nice to have you!
I also bought one of the Jason Wu skirts at Target and now I’m kicking myself for passing on it!
love the dress and that locket!!! i need one
I do love great tights! Navy lace
. And I agree with all the before mentioned love of the pig locket.
Oooh, I love what you did with the Jason Wu dress – I remember trying it on and thinking it was cute, but it was such an unflattering length on me! This was a great idea…
