{ costume of the day } easy // breezy

as evidenced by my recent ode to ikea, lately my life has involved a lot of running around between furniture, lighting, paint and hardware stores. not super glam, but fairly fun in its own way. if only it weren't so darn hot outside! this is the time of year when, if i manage to find something breezy and cool, i tend to wear it every. single. day.

this slouchy, silken shirt is one such piece (i also had it on here) ~ and as i write this post, i'm going on day three in these über-louche harem pants:



{ tom ford sunnies, vintage jewels, rachel rachel roy top, logo pants (gifted), rebecca minkoff bag, miu miu shoes (previously worn HERE and HERE) }

I think there is nothing chicer than a black and white ensemble, and I adore your pops of color! I would want to wear this everyday, as well.

What an epic fish necklace! Definitely my favorite part of the outfit, as well as the blue bag. You always manage to look so effortless.

esther said...

oh how perfect that top is! i would wear it every day too!

I love how there is a relaxed quality to your outfit, but you still look totally chic. To be honest, who wants to be hot and uncomfortable when settling in to a new home and running the million errands that comes along with that! I love the accessories that you used to spruce up the outfit: the necklace is great, and the bag adds a nice colorful pop! I'm sure if you keep mixing up the accessories you can get many many wears out of this outfit this summer!

Loving your rings here! Great accessorizing. xo

Hi Kelly,
First of all, tell you that you have an elegant look with a total visual power.
I like the blouse, but what I like most is how to combine the necklaces, they are wonderful and the detail of the blue bag klein enhances the look.
You will be told a few days, I had discovered your blog through Karla's blog and from that day, hope inpaciente your publications.
You have magic, you're very smart and take care of the photos you publish, you have a different aura, that's what I always look for "unexpected.

The koi necklace and the bag is divine. Makes you look like a modern day goddess.

It's safe to say that no other element if the jewelry fashion or any other jewelry, necklaces just cannot win when it comes to style. You’re the best! Like it!
