I will admit to REALLY enjoying this little challenge- it's the 21 Day Challenge Dressy + Casual day! I found this gingham shirt at the Outlets over the weekend and, even though it's a boyfriend style (with slit pockets in the front!), it is trim and has nice narrow sleeves, perfect for tucking into something fitted. The skirt was actually made at a tailor in Beijing. Sarah and I spent a morning in an enormous fabric market, picked some things out and each had some clothes copied. Tailored to perfection and cut longer, this skirt is made out of a thick nubby cotton/ linen blend.
Paired with pearls and tailored pumps, the whole thing is a lot of business wear silhouettes and staples with a casual vibe. I felt really good wearing this today. Style rut pending?...

It's grocery night. We haven't been serious about shopping for at least 2 weeks. I'm scared about the bill, we have NOTHING in the fridge or pantry right now. A whole mess of rice, lots of canned pineapple, questionable sliced cheese and not much else. I think it's time...
Also, I am really in need of Beagle time. Ever have a day where you really miss your dog?
You look like you walked straight out of a magazine!
