Carly Simon?

{blouse: urban outfitters | jeans: just fab | oxfords: volatile via zappos | hat: nasty gal}

When I threw this ensemble together bright and early before work, I never dreamed I'd get so many compliments on it. Turns out, it evoked visions of the past from nearly every one of my coworkers. I got a lot of "hippie chick" or "70s" comments. My favorite was my coworker Kelly's comparisons to Carly Simon.

I guess if my mouth doubled in size and I forgot to wear a bra, I'd agree.

Note to self: wear this outfit with flares!

Hippie Chick

{Blouse & Watch: Urban Outfitters | Shorts: Nordstrom | Huaraches: JustFab | Necklace: Anthropologie (gift)}

When I saw this blouse, I pretty much fell in love. It was either the purple tone, the scarf print, the sheer material, or the entire combination, but I immediately had to have it! (This is a trend in my life, by the way, the having to have.) I wore this on the "real" first day of preschool, since it was an easy, comfy outfit, and it kept me (mostly) cool in the 90+ degree weather holding dead weight 2- and 3-year olds on the playground. Plus, this amazing necklace will take any outfit up a notch! It's fab!
