Wrapping Up the Weekend

boots, pink scarf, michael kore bag, white top

Happy Sunday everyone! My week has been quite exhausting what with three 12 hour shifts in a row it can really tire a girl out. But I happily rested and recuperated today enjoying the absolutely gorgeous weather. I even went out and enjoyed a Sunday drive.

Outfit Details

Scarf (old, similar here and here), Top (old, similar here and here), Jeans (old, similar here, and here), Boots, Earrings (old, similar here), Bracelet, Bag (old, similar here (it's on sale for less than $100!)

I adore the back of this top with the tulip cut and little bit of chiffon peaking out. It gives it such a soft sweet look. And of course the Michael Kore's bag is perfect and can fit so much including a lap top if you need to carry one on a business trip or as a student.

And please ignore the pet waste container behind me. I did not realize the faux pas until I started writing the post (oops.) Have a good beginning to your week!

White on White

"Pearls are always appropriate." Jackie Kennedy could not have said it more perfectly. There is something absolutely lovely about pearls. They are on the top of my go to jewelry for almost any occasion. They have this ability to take a not so pretty outfit and take it up a notch.

Lovely Lace

There is just something so lovely about periwinkle. It is such a soft and feminine colour that goes so well with the design of this dress. My aunt recently organized a fashion show as a church fund raiser and she asked me to be one of the models. I chose this pristine dress as one of my outfits.

Nautical

For as long as I can remember I have always loved the nautical look. I do not know if it is the reminder of the salty sea air or one of my daydreams of sailing on a yacht and sipping bubbly champagne or maybe something as simple as the blue and white colour scheme. But whatever the reason I can never pass up a lovely nautical piece.
