I went down to the garden

It's been a fairly mellow week aside from a surprise (albeit brief) visit from a friend of mine who lives in Seattle. He's actually from Sweden originally, married an American and they now live in Seattle.  Anyway, it's been a few years since we've been face to face so it was a lovely surprise! Other than that it's been work, music, pups and movies...and clothes.

I've seen this h&m blouse making the rounds on a few blogs but I really like the fit and the color of it so I thought I'd post it anyway. I don't have many peach items hanging in my closet but once I tried it on I couldn't let it go!  I do I wonder if I was possibly (subconsciously) thinking of the artwork on Karen Elson's album when I bought this - it has almost the exact dusty peach color throughout the booklet (yes, I buy actual albums - because I'm old school like that). Once I made the peach connection it seemed obvious that I needed to wear the cute pin I got at her show last week with this outfit.

Oh, and I should mention I wore this to work - hence the blazer and the tights. tights + shorts = safe for work.

outfit details:
shorts & blouse: h&m
boots: steve madden
blazer: gift from "the Brit"

oh, why not a little Karen Elson to go along with the theme...
