what dreams are made of.


happppy monday! i spent half of my weekend sleeping and the other half of my weekend working. it has been really tough for me to let go of my store, so i try to keep it going by working one day of the weekend. i know, i am a nut. but i have worked so hard to continue it for two years, so how can i stop now? :)

i wore this for a south beach walk. our favorite street to walk on is washington avenue, because there's tons of non-touristy food places + i am always at that post office. it has been breezy and warm, so my go-to outfit is a skirt with a sleeved blouse. i always wear tights, i just think they are comfortable. plus, they have to be the most useless accessory because they don't even keep you warm! i am sure anyone in the dead of winter right now is not running to wear tights :)

blouse: for sale in my store
skirt: c/o romwe
sunnies: c/o zero UV
boots: urban outfitters
bag: c/o vj-style

love this outfit. i think the black tights really off set the girly-ness of the top of the outfit and makes the whole thing just really work. i also think it is noble that you still try to keep your store going! and i might be one of the crazies but i always wear tights no matter what time of the year it is cos i always wear shorts haha.

I really like how the outfit is classy and girly but you made it a little edgy by adding dark tights, black booties and a studded bag. Very nice!

i am digging this outfit because its super feminine and super edgy simultaneously. i love the girly floral on the skirt paired with the black tights and combat boots. the grommeting on your bag, off-setting the pink ruffles, etc. love this love this!

Pretty! Amazing blouse. *_*

Judy said...

That skirt is truly dreamy! And I agree, I really don't know how girls up north or in other countries where it gets really really cold wear a dress and tights in the snow. =0 They must be used to the cold, I guess.

I love the skirt you have on! Haha, I must agree, tights don't really keep me very warm during winter :S Although thick woolen tights might help!! :D

^^^Love. Love. Love your blog^^^ I'm super happy to have found you through Coury Combs Fancy Tree-House (one of the fanciest blogs)!

I'm even so silly, when I found myself in J.Crew this weekend amongst the beautiful sweaters I normally would have overlooked, I purchased most of them thanks to a hint of your inspiration!!! Thank you for that, because I just adore the character they add to my wardrobe :)
