Rebecca Taylor silk top, thrifted
Coldwater Creek scarf, gift
Beau jeggings, Ross
Whenever I wear one of these long, loose-fitting tops paired with a slim bottom, I float through the day, feeling long, lean and elegant. Then I look at the photos and realize ... I still look like a five-foot-tall person wearing a looong shirt and loong scarf. But that's OK. I felt good wearing it, and that's what counts right? And on the first day back in the classroom with the students, feeling good matters.
The
little details of this shirt delight me, such as the ruffle-like tiered
placket and pintucking at the shoulder. There are even tiny gold
buttons at the cuffs!
I
am having an odd fascination with pastels lately, which is intriguing,
as I've always believed that vivid, saturated shades work best with my
coloring. But first I picked up this shirt at Goodwill (I have to admit
that I bought it partly because the hue reminded me of Eeyore), and then
I picked up an interestingly draped blush pink top at Saks Off Fifth on
my annual pilgrimage to the outlet mall, and then I had a "oooh ...
pretty!" moment when I spotted Aya wearing soft pink with her amazing navy coat.

I've been wearing these necklaces a lot lately, as I've realized that they layer gorgeously together. Of course, I only realized this after owning (and passing over) these pieces for a good amount of time.
What colors are catching your eye lately?
