I rarely buy flowers for myself, even though I love having them around the house, but I will buy them for others because it seems less indulgent somehow … and then I will take advantage of the opportunity, and Instagram the heck out of them. I mean, this bouquet was too pretty to NOT do it. It also matched my outfit quite nicely, if I say so myself. Minus the bag, I’m wearing head to toe thrift here. I still love this mustard yellow jacket, and the somewhat awkward cropped length works with this dress, which has its own slightly awkward proportions. Neither is something I would have bought at retail prices, but they’re fun to play with … for now.
The bag is vintage (and consigned) and I go back and forth on whether it’s a forever kind of bag or not. It’s a classic, and it’s cool to own a small piece of a fashion history, but on the other hand, I rarely use it. If I were to sell it, I could buy quite a few other bags with the money … but then my closet would probably never see another Chanel again. Bag collector dilemmas, y’all.
Funny, I have a Calvin Klein dress almost that exact print – but it’s a sheath instead of an a-line 🙂
For your closet’s sake, I would keep the Chanel. for the sake of MY closet, I think you should sell it (to me…)
I’m not sure how I’m going to survive this week with no Chapter 12! I’ve loved the book. Bought and read the previous 2, and I’m loving this one. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
I am loving the book too! I am hooked! Love the outfit as well 🙂
Really love this! I like black and white prints with another color.
Come back and blog about pretty clothes! I need to read something that’s not about the election.
(Or, more seriously, do whatever works for you as a busy professional and mother).
Hi! I love your blog! I read it every day and adore your refreshing ideas for dressing and repurposing. I keep noticing that there have not been posts since November 4. Am I missing them? No pressure…just don’t want to miss out! 😊
