show your stripes

 

At long last a real outfit post for you lovely readers! I'm afraid this outfit was not too elaborate because it has been a pretty hot week (well...compared to the average temperature the rest of February) so I cut back on my usual layering. The dress was purchased just before I went to the UK - I felt like I needed some more stripes in my life! I go through stripey phases from time to time.

The pen necklace is from KateSpade was a Christmas gift from my little sister.  At the time I didn't get the MadMen connection but have since realized that Joan often sports a very similar necklace.  I love the show so it's ok by me!

holiday leftovers...

Someone must have been paying attention to my holiday wants post because I unexpectedly received a Kate Spade wallet for Christmas! As you know, I have been messing around with gifs and stop motion clips for a while now but I thought I'd make one* staring my little wallet since the packaging was so darn cute and sadly (eventually) headed for the dust bin...

Oh, and the best part? it's got gold lining & polka dots inside!

happy monday! see you soon.
