OOTD- Pleated Shimmy




You guys remember how I traveled all the way up to NYC just to go to a sample sale?? Well, this cute little handbag I'm carrying is what I took home. Isn't she purty?? I've been showing this one lots of love, I think the other bags are feeling pangs of jealousy.

Lately, I've been feeling like my outfits have gotten a little boring, for lack of a better word. Although I have things that I love wearing, I always feel like some of my ensembles could use a little bit extra something that I'm not quite sure I can put my finger on. I'm a firm believer in the power of a good accessory to take an outfit up a notch or two; so that's what I attempted with this scarf. It certainly helped add some interest to this pleated number.

Can someone learn how to take an outfit from boring to just right or is pitch-perfect styling an innate ability?

  1. I really love your scarf. It is way too hot here for summer scarves, but I love them! I don't think your outfits have gotten boring. I think we all simplify a bit in the summer. Or am I just telling myself that?
