friday (peachy)

 

gap denim shirt   old navy cardigan   handmade (by me) skirt {thrifted fabric} 

old navy faux suede boots   forever21 bright skinny belt   croft & barrow necklace

lately it seems like the weeks have been flying by, this week especially since i took a half day monday for my birthday and was consumed in a lot of meetings & trainings the rest of the week. it leaves me feeling very uneasy when i feel like i can't devote uninterrupted attention to the people i work with. hopefully i can start fresh monday. this weekend i am volunteering on saturday and my aunt is taking my sister & i out for indian food to celebrate our birthday on sunday. yum!  i hope you all gave a great weekend as well!

one last reminder that you have a chance to win a skirt like the one i'm wearing today, just check out this post.  i'll announce a winner on monday... and then i'll get sewing!

friday (snazzy)

 shirt: gap  skirt: merona {thrifted new}

necklace: target {thrifted new}    belt: kohl's    flats: old navy bauble flats

this gap denim-ish shirt is from 2003. i love how the gap brands have tags inside the clothing that notes the season and year it was released; it does so much to quell my curiosity, especially when i find a gap brand at the goodwill. does anyone else ever look at those? this is one of the first items i ever bought at gap, the first probably being that over-sized gray hooded sweatshirt from the men's department with "GAP" sprawled across the chest. i don't know about you guys, but those sweatshirts were it around the time i was in high school (?) and i thought i had to have one. if i still had it, i'd check the tag and tell you the exact era. anyway, it's nice when a piece of clothing sticks around for eight years and is still pretty classic, like this shirt.

so is this outfit too snazzy for a friday? i don't often think about "dressing down" at the end of the week but maybe i should. i've started to wear flats more frequently on fridays, but that attempt was probably negated by my big, chunky necklace. ah, well. i'm entering into the weekend with style.
