I’m sort of obsessed with today’s outfit.  This sweater is one of my favorites (see how I wore it here). Winter’s been pretty mild here, so I was able to dust off my pink maryjanes a little earlier than expected. Pink shoes always make for a good day in my book.  After my recent foray into the world of bib collars (aka dickeys), I decided to delve even further with this bejeweled collar.  It adds just the right touch of bling and sweetness to an outfit.

It’s not often that I don activewear, but I was dying to get some use out of my new kicks.  I remember the last time I wore wedge sneakers very clearly.  It was my first day of high school, and I wanted to look cool… but not like I was trying too hard.  That time around, I paired my white canvas kicks (something akin to these) with a denim vest and a floral sundress (hey, it was the 90s!).

One of my favorite stores, Rugby by Ralph Lauren, is soon shuttering its doors.  I’ve rather grown to love their cable-knits and shetland sweaters over the years, so I made a mad dash to stock up on a few knits at their Union Square location over the weekend.  If you’re also looking for some great deals, I suggest you click on over to their website ASAP to snatch up a few goodies (everything is currently marked down at least 40%).
