I have always loved the simplicity of a turtleneck sweater, while a definite nod to the 70’s, they are classic and timeless . Together with a black (faux) leather pencil skirt it has a sleek, elegant vibe that allows the accessories to be the focus: bright orange heels, bold sunglasses and a giant cocktail ring. I feel perfectly ready to slide into a smoky café to hear some poetry!

I was enamored by this skirt from the first time I saw it in J. Crew last spring. I decided against buying it because it would be hard to wear it again (and again…) due to the fact that the pattern is extremely recognizable! I found it on major sale over the holidays and could not resist snatching it up! As difficult (read: impossible) as it will be to disguise as a new item in the future, I do love how bold it is…I guess not everything is meant to be an investment piece.

I “borrowed” this green skirt from my mom’s closet several years back, and I happened to be wearing it when the whole blogging seed was planted in my head… I was grabbing a coffee at Intelligentsia, my favorite Silverlake coffee house, when a photographer asked if they could take a picture of me for their street style blog. I of course complied and decided then and there that I must start my own fashion blog! It took a couple of years but here we are. I have been wearing this skirt with some frequency since taking it from my mom, its not as flouncy as most of the midi skirts available now, I can actually wear it to get coffee…as for my mom, she doesn’t mind that I never returned the skirt as she is long over wearing this style!
