thrifted club monaco silk blouse // gifted black and gold modcloth sweater // mavi denim // h&m trench // zara purse // joe fresh sunnies and flats
ran out the door this afternoon to meet melissa for a main street shop and coffee. was running 10 minutes late (story of my life) only to realize i couldn’t text her because my phone was at home. pull up to our meeting spot and notice i don’t have any jewellery on either, which really doesn’t help an outfit post. we snoop around two of our favourite stores, barefoot contessa and front & company before it’s time for a caffeine hit. i go to pay for our drinks and see that i have no wallet at all. left it beside my phone and jewellery at home. it’s pretty embarrassing when you offer to pay for someone’s mocha and then conveniently don’t have anything to pay with. good thing she’s family, it could have been a lot worse!
been wearing non stop denim lately, which is so ironic because i don’t even like my jeans very much any more. so as i continue my hunt for new trousers that don’t cost a fortune (that’s your cue to tell me where to get some) my budget forces me to find new ways to wear my old clothes. and while scrambling to put an outfit together this morning, i decided to try this look after seeing something similar on pinterest. turned out that i had the necessary tools to put it together and i’m quite happy with how it turned out. now if only i’d remembered jewellery…
i think the amazing detailing on the shoulders lets you get away with no jewelry! 🙂
you look so cute! and your sweater is just stunning!

I happen to think your look is quite beautiful without jewelry, Alicia – the details in your sweater and purse decorate your look beautifully! Aside from the fact that you seemed to have a chaotic day, you look amazing and not like how you described at all. That top knot suits you so well and it looks like you finally figured out how to do it perfectly for good!
Hope the rest of your week is better than your recent day 😉

This outfit is absolutely beautiful and I didn't even notice you weren't wearing any jewellery – the shoulder embellishment caught my eye right away. Stunning! I like it how you paired it up with a lighter wash jeans and a white blouse. Feeling all inspired! (Just need to hunt down a pretty sweater like this one. And a white blouse. Oh oh!)

Oh you poor girl, you must be so insanely busy. Don't worry, things will kind of plateau soon in terms of how crazy busy you are. You look absolutely stunning here, I love the way you styled everything. That sweater is such an amazing piece all on its own it didn't need much else to begin with. So so beautiful as always 🙂

Hahahaha amazing day.
You looked stunning (as I mentioned when I saw you). Even though I looked like a lazy grandpa and you looked trendy and cute I'm still glad we spent some time together.

It's okay, if you lose your mind there's always time to find it ; ) Love your sweater with the embellished shoulders! Looking purdy once again : )
Oh, that's rough! Been there, done that… I can't count how many times my card was strangely denied or I misplaced my money O_O Anyway, you look gorgeous – love your hair like that!

you look adorable as always. i have you beat on the forgotten wallet front. last spring i invited two of my best friends out to dinner because, being the gentlemen that they are, they always pay for me. well, in all that excitement, i left my wallet at home needless to say, they split the check and treated me out again and i felt horrible about it. at least i was able to go home and treat them to drinks afterwards… :/
Ha ha, it does sound like you had quite the morning this morning… If I realised I had left home with no phone, wallet or jewelry, I probably would have just gone home and called it day 🙂 Good for you for taking it all in stride. Of course, it probably heloed that you had such a fabulous sweater on. The gold detail on the shoulders is just amazing!
xox,
Cee
you are too pretty!
that sweater is to die for. or DIY for.
Oh no, I hate those days where you forget things and it all goes wrong! I hate it when I forget to put earrings in, (which i do quite a lot) my ears feel so naked!
I adore this sweater, I think you look super gorgeous. And your hair looks really cute 🙂
Thanks for the band recommendation too, they are cool! xx
UGH I hate it when things like that happen. Yea for understanding friends 🙂 Love the sweater by the way 🙂
I *love* this look – I am wearing my boyfriend jeans today, they are just such a staple of my wardrobe. How did I ever live without them? I like the way you glammed them up.

Haha! My husband always tells me I'd loose my head if it wasn't attached. I'm the queen of leaving everything behind. Glad I'm not the only one:-)
