Summer Pleats


Blouse: thrifted
Skirt: thrifted
Shoes: Naturalizer
Lipstick: Revlon Super Lustrous Crème Lipstick in Certainly Red

A sleeveless blouse and pleated skirt together make me think of early '60s college students. I like how neat and tidy this combination is, while the colors are bold.

I'm on a short vacation from work right now because my office gave everyone the 4th, 5th and 6th off for a super-long weekend. It's pretty awesome. We have a few longer-than-usual holiday breaks like this throughout the year, but the trade-off is that we don't have a lot of PTO days at our discretion.

Aaaand here's an outtake for you where I look like a zombie:

  6. These colors are beautiful on you! I love anything "fruity" and vibrant during the summer. Also, I am completely smitten with your new blog layout; the background could not be more perfect.

  7. First, I love this. It reminds me of summer fruits and pleats are the greatest ever (unless you're ironing, in which case damn them!)
    Second, I LOVE YOUR LAYOUT! Your background reminds me of that book "The Hundred Dresses" It is so pretty and the banner is so original. LOOKS GOOD! :)
