I spotted this dress at Beacon’s Closet a few months ago and immediately fell in love.  I could tell by its interior construction that it was made by hand, immediately giving it extra cool points in my book.  I debuted my first sewing project on the blog a few days ago, and this dress gives me major inspiration and excitement for the things I’ll (hopefully) someday be able to create on my own.  Now as keen as I am on my new frock, the real pièce de résistance of this outfit is the shoes.

As soon as I slipped them on, I thought I’d died and gone to shoe heaven.  I already have a severe weakness for shoes of the maryjane variety, but the dainty little peep-toe is what ultimately got me.  I can’t wait to pair them with all manner of hosiery this fall.

I purchased this skirt a couple of months ago but never wore it until recently for a couple of reasons:

  1. I could never find just the right top
  2. I wasn’t sure if I had the guts to pull off the two-toned look

Luckily, I found this perfectly matching top not too long ago.  And even better, I finally mustered up the chutzpah to wear my jester skirt to the office.

As I’m getting dressed in the morning, I usually have a particular dress or top in mind that I want to wear.  However,  I woke up last Friday with shoes on the brain.  Perhaps it was my mind telling me that I’m overdue for another vacation, but I was really excited to wear the espadrille wedges that I purchased during my trip to Spain earlier this year.   With my footwear decision firmly implanted, I decided to fully channel the vacation vibe with a laid-back chambray frock (which, coincidentally, I also wore during my vacation to San Francisco last year).  I love wearing items that I procure during my travels because they always bring back such fond memories.
