It is amazing how a simple look or trend will start and then explode all over the place. Even after the runways and glossy mags are showing it, we American women cling to it with all our might. The bootcut jean stayed way past its prime, as did the empire waist, the peasant top (well…
Dress: Ann Taylor (bought last spring)Shoes: Sofft Pearls: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (two different necklaces) I had a major pearl kick a couple years ago (seen here and through much of ’06 and ’07). Lately I haven’t felt like a pearl sort of person. Seemed too… obvious. Almost like a costume. Then I saw these champagne-colored…
I am all about quality instead of quantity in ones closet. And I am not ashamed to wear the same thing more than once in a week (uh hello last post!). I am most famous for doing this on weekends – if the clothes aren’t dirty or rumpled, I will re-wear them the next day….

Lotsa oldies but goodies in today’s ensemble! The purse is my Banana Republic bag that I bought many years ago. I recently acquired the same one in black from a reader, but this brown one is more… casual/boho and I find it works best for my Casual Friday outfits. The top is from Language Los…
