I was doing battle with the wind yesterday, but it actually made for some fun pictures.
Blazer, Target
Tee, Banana Republic
Skirt, Jason Wu for Target
Belt, J. Crew
Shoes, Target
I barely resisted the urge to purposefully go full Marilyn. The wind did its part for me.
Currently obsessed with my new bow belt. I’m so obsessed, I had to have two. They were on sale, which negates any lingering guilt about buying clothes for me. A sale is a sale, even if the clothes are still expensive.

I think the bow helped – I’ve done this before with subpar results. I’m glad it worked better this time.
Ooooooh these pics are so adorable! I love your Marilyn moments, you looks so chic and fun…and the blazer with the pleated skirt has a killer retro vibe. One of your best yet!

Hey KK, good to hear from you! I definitely want more pleats in my wardrobe this summer, if only for the twirling possibilities!
The second to last photo reminds me of the famous Marilyn Monroe pic of her wearing that white dress! Adorable outfit!

I was tempted to do that pose on purpose, and then the wind made up my mind for me!
lovely ideas and style.
Love the pleated skirt on you
It has been really windy here as well!
It’s fun for photos, but I had to be careful a few times too!
Cute! Love this pleated skirt with the belted blazer, you look so pretty
That ‘Marilyn Monroe’ shot is perfect!
Thank you very much! Definitely a look I’ll be doing again.
Love the skirt and the pictures!!
Thanks Terrie!
I LOVE this outfit!! The pleats are flirty yet professional and totally fun!! You know, I must say, they shoes are great but I think a black pair of Louboutin’s would also compliment the outfit well
(I’m a terrible influence!!) xo
Aww yay thanks for commenting!! Well, I may just have to treat myself next month if you really think Loubies would work with this!
LOVE this. You look so pretty & chic!
