Crayola


 After wearing mainly black for several years, I find myself now drawn to color.  I love this brush print dress.  And the white blazer has become my summer staple- it goes with everything.

June 2014 Purchases

1) Blue Dress- flattering shape, seems good quality, goes with several items I already own (multiple blazers and cardigans). So far I have worn it once for a presentation I gave, with a black and white houndstooth blazer and without the skinny belt (sorry no photos).

AB Studio Pleated A-Line Dress - Women's

2) Silk Paisley Blouse- because I love every part of that!


3) White Peasant Blouse- Nice basic summer blouse, also bought it for the family portrait that I have been wanting to get done but haven't gotten around to arranging.  We're all in white shirts and blue jeans, on a bridge by a waterfall.  Sounds nice, no? 

 
 
4) Striped Linen Trousers, aka I Am Weak.  Just when I was congratulating myself on not buying printed pants (they're so cute, but I would never wear them), I bought printed pants.  Sort of.  They're striped, which doesn't count as a print anymore, right?  They're a neutral?  I really went to Loft looking for linen trousers. I tried on every style in the store, but the only ones that grabbed me were these striped ones.  I kept thinking about how fabulous they will look with my navy asymmetric blouse.  And... nothing else. Drew a blank on what else in my wardrobe to wear with them.  So then I bought the two blouses above!  It all makes sense in my head if not my wallet.
