{Monday Mourning}
Like that pun?
This past weekend reminded me that I’m not as young and resilient as I used to be, as I’m still healing from the effects of St. Patrick’s Day festivities. I needed something comfortable and chic to combat the work day, and opted for an intricate black skirt, simple black cardigan, and basic suede pumps.
Cardigan: No idea!
Skirt: Banana Republic
Shoes: Aldo
{Tangerine}
I got this swoon-worthy peplum jacket a few weeks ago in preparation for a business trip, and I’m completely smitten. It’s flirty, youthful, vibrant but still professional. I’ve worn it several ways since, but have paired it here with black cropped trousers and black booties.
Jacket: New York and Co here
Trousers: GAP
Shoes: Jessica Simpson
{Karma}
I guess you could say that when I put this little ensemble on I was really ‘feeling myself’. I had a nice pep in my step and absolutely nothing could stop me. Right?
Wrong.
As I (perhaps a bit excessively) continued my self-admiration, I very embarrassingly tripped and very narrowly avoided some criminal indecent exposure…all in front of a train full of rush-hour commuters.
Well played, karma.
Top: The Limited
Skirt: The Limited

{Little-Boy-Blue}
This was one of those outfits that just kind of came into existence, and truth be told that’s truly my favorite type of look. I absolutely adore this shirt dress because of its simplistic, yet feminine take on classic menswear. I felt it a bit too plain (and thin) to be worn on its own, so I added a pop of color with a bow-tie and a red blazer quickly followed suit. Finally I finished the look with a gray sexy peep toe platform pump.
Blazer: Thrift Store
Dress: Gap
Bow Tie: Borrowed from a Limited wrap top
Shoes: Jessica Simpson
{Tweed-lum}
I haven’t blogged in forever, and I am rather ashamed of myself. I will say that it’s not as a lack of desire, but more due to a lack of available sunlight. I love layering in the winter (not really, but it’s a total necessity) however I often find it difficult to do so without looking too bulky. For this look I paired a sleeveless peplum top with a tweed motorcycle jacket and ankle-length trousers.
Jacket: Gap
Blouse: New York and Company
Trousers: Gap
Shoes: DSW
