Tie One On

It was just a matter of time before I dipped my toe into tie-dyed waters, shunning rows of neon in favor of a subtle silk blouse from Banana Republic. In the oppressive summer heat, I've opted to pair the top with simple, safari-esque shorts. But once fall arrives, the snake-like print will transition perfectly with layers of fall garments.


Outfit Notes: Banana Republic Blouse; Banana Republic Earrings; Noir Bracelet; Old Navy Shorts

Seeing Stripes

Spring found its way to my mailbox this week in the form of Old Navy's striped jersey dress. For a mere $15, I couldn't pass up the wardrobe staple I featured in my last Friday Finds Under $50 post.

Old Navy Striped Dress, Banana Republic Jacket, Tahari Pumps, J.Crew Necklace, Vintage Necklace (from my grandmother's jewelry box), Ann Taylor Loft Necklace, Opal and Diamond Ring, Hayden-Harnett for Target Clutch

In other news, I placed an order for the Yves Saint Laurent Arty Ovale Ring! However, the turquoise is only available on pre-order and is expected to ship no later than May 25. Good things come to those who wait ... right?
