It's so hard to say goodbye to May. It's my birthday month, so every year it's filled with fun events and the love of friends and family. I started out the month with a week in New York, and so saying bye to the month feels a bit like leaving those good times in the last chapter.
It also means the official transition to summer clothes. We've been feeling 80-degree heat for a couple of weeks now, it seems ridiculous most mornings to consider any more sweaters or dark slacks. Every morning now, I want to put on a pretty frock. Today, I resurrected a Silver Lake favorite.
Forgive the lackluster backdrop - I had to drag Steve around a few spots on the floor to snap a decent photo, and ultimately all we got was this boring thing here in the corner of his office. Thus, his ties. He was super busy today, so what a trooper.
I am wearing...
Motel sundress from Bobbi (now Myrtle) in Silver Lake
H&M sheer blouse in cream
Topshop black platform sandals
Accessories:
M. Rocks pendant
The Limited Double Strand Curve Necklace (now 50% off)

The good news is that I really like my outfit today! The bad news is, this pathetic
selfie does not adequately capture it. Hate when we aren't able to meet up for a
photo sesh. Bummer!
In one of my recent "pinning" binges on Pinterest (aka a "Pinge" - ha!), I
saw a combo of blazer, t-shirt, and a statement necklace. So this morning, that
was exactly what I set out to create. I love that if you took away the heels,
blazer and necklace, this would be a loafing around weekend outfit. But add
those three things and it's pretty much the perfect casual Friday work
ensemble.
A few other notes:
(1) this necklace is not actually a "statement" necklace in my book, but was the only one I felt like wearing today for some reasonI am wearing...
(2) this pic was actually an outtake - these shoes I love but the heel straps do. not. stay. put. I was trying to fix them for the pic, and got caught in the act
(3) I really need a better set-up for selfies; my desk is a terrible background but is the best lighting in my office (which is sadly lacking in the natural light)
(4) I recently purchased about 4656 cheap t-shirts and tanks from (where else?) Forever 21 for a total of like, $17 and I am really excited to sport them this weekend
