Sheer garments seem to be taking the Fashion realm by storm. Finding their way from the catwalk straight into fashion blogs. I'm partial to the trend due to its effortless beauty. It's a simple, and subtle, way to add some understated glamour. This dress, with its scalloped hem and tasseled belt shouts Gucci Spring 2011. Brights don't seem to be going into hiding anytime soon either, and I'm happy about that. I actually wore this little red number to a meeting yesterday. I followed the rendezvous with a ritual browsing session of international Vogue and Elle at the bookstore and a strawberry crepe at the local Pâtisserie.

What do you think about today's outfit?

Wishful Thrifting

{Shop: Top, Similar Skirt}
Pardon my accessory-less outfit, my friends. I was running late to meet a friend for lunch and forgot to grab my jewelry, a belt, a watch, sunglasses, another purse to put inside of my purse, a hat, some gloves, another pair of sunglasses, lipstick, a flashlight, a travel-sized hand sanitizer, and a small dog to take with me everywhere. Tomorrow I'll be accessory loaded, promise.
I would like to welcome my newly thrifted green pencil skirt to the blog. A few weeks ago, Linda and I both spotted a girl trying on a green pencil skirt at our friend's vintage shop. We turned to each other and simultaneously said "Must. find. green. pencil. skirt. now." I don't make promises out of incomplete sentences that I can't keep, so I rushed out to my favorite thrift store and a little green pencil skirt was waiting for me. I think that I'm going to start wishing for things like 'brand new car' and trying to see if I can thrift that. I'll let you know how that goes.
