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).
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.
