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.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I have approximately exactly three leather skirts in my closet and I love and need every single one of them.

I bought this one last season and it's just such a good color that can do so many things. Side note: When you're traveling with your leather, try not to roll it up in your suitcase. Leather and extreme wrinkles don't mix very well. I won't charge you for that one. 

Says I to me, what are they doing with this here leather?! Check out this shirt that I bought from Zara here. What are those pockets even saying?!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

There are some pieces that hang quietly in my closet for months sometimes years before they reveal themselves. That was the story for this ASOS bra top. I knew when I saw it that I had to have it but when I got it I didn't know what to do with it. Have you ever been there?

Well, she revealed herself on this day paired with my Boxing Kitten skirt and it just werked!
