Memo 134: One Last Look

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I have literally had the shoes in this look for almost two years without wearing them. I was all set to return them and then I gave them one last look. See, it's not unusual for me to see things at the moment of purchase that seem completely amazing yet when they arrive in the safety of my closet, they may or may not make it out to see the light of day. 

So, I squinted my eyes and tilted my head and saw them in a different light. When paired with these printed Whit shorts, nothing about me could return these beauties. So, they have finally been worn and saved from the tragedy of return.

A few things:

1. I am in a deep love and infatuation with this 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target Mini Satchel. I REALLY wanted the yellow one but I was a few minutes too late to my local Target and watched them roll away in the carts of the earlier birds.
2. I'm really appreciating the color of the bag and my shoes. Taupe, I feel like, is such an under-appreciated and mistreated color.  It's just so good, so very very good.
3. Lately, I've been really drawn to black and white. I'm not sure what that means for my life. Maybe it means that I see things as they are and don't believe in gray areas OR maybe I just like black and white right now. Who knows?
4. I really wanted to add a pop of color with a cobalt blue belt but I just couldn't get it together. So, instead, I popped my lip color. Which leads me to my last point...
5. I'm obsessed (and my mom is too) with the Dior Mysterious Mauve lip color. It's not new and I've been wearing it for a couple of years now. I just noticed that it's one of my go to colors to wear with just about everything.
