Out & About

Dress: Zara (old), Jacket: Unknown brand via Ambiance SF, Heels: Sole Society, Accessories: Baublebar x Atlantic Pacific necklace, Michael Kors watch, gorjana alphabet charm bracelet, unknown brand gloves (similar), J.Crew tights (similar)

Every now and again, I like to dress up a little funkier than usual and pair things I haven't worn in a while. This dress has not had enough wear time since it hangs to the side of the closet. But, I'm always reminded of how much I like it when I re-visit it. I decided to pair it with my polka dot tights to be a bit more playful than sophisticated. My shoe collection feels a bit lacking lately (though I really have no reason to say that according to my husband) so I wore my Sole Society heels to highlight the pattern and texture against the tights. The finishing touch was none other than my perfectly pink and in-your-face necklace from Baublebar and a pair of faux leather gloves.
