Suit Up

H&M blazer, Zara blouse, H&M shorts, vintage Dooney & Bourke bag, Steve Madden heels, Free People sunglasses, vintage earrings, Kate Spade necklace, Topshop ring

I'm usually not one for business attire (my job doesn't even call for it), but when I saw this short suit at H&M last week I just couldn't resist. I love it's neutral color scheme because it allows me to pair it with fun colors and prints.  And the shorts keep it fun and playful, and not too business-like.

If you haven't noticed- I've been into polka dots (& spots...& studs) lately.  See my previous posts: Spotted & Days go by...
   

I'm wearing my brand new polka dot jeans from Madewell.  For some reason I've never tried the denim at Madewell... but I tried a bunch this weekend and I'm in love!  The fit is absolutely perfect & they are extremely comfortable & stretchy.  I had a very hard time picking just one pair (I'm still on a bit of a budget).

And if you are a student you can get a 15% discount in stores & online (SCORE!).

With A Twist (& Shout)

If I could describe my personal style in just a few words it would be--

classic, with a twist

Levi's jacket, Forever 21 tshirt, Forever 21 jeans, Crown Vintage boots, American Apparel clutch, Marc Jacobs watch, Free People sunglasses, Murano glass necklace, J. Fay Earrings, Beacon's Closet music note earring, thrifted silver rings, Murano glass ring (the green one)

A bit of a simple outfit, I know.  But there are little surprises at every corner.  Like the netted back on my shirt, the yellow zipper on my clutch, the slightly too short skinny jeans, and the teeny tiny music note earring (which I never take out because it's just too perfect).

And here's me having a bit of a "Cousin It" moment with the train blowing my hair all over the place:

Over Easter weekend I found this gorgeous melon colored dress at my parent's house.  I'm guessing my mom wore it back in the late '70s.  The color and midi length were right on trend for spring, and it fit me perfectly.

It was a bit of a windy day so it probably wasn't the greatest time to wear it, but I was too excited about it to wait any longer.

And I'll leave you with my unavoidable Marilyn moment:
