Outfit of the Day: Just An Average Saturday.

Hey! Here are some clothes I put on my body for a Saturday lunch outing with Kate. It is not terribly exciting but I felt pretty good about it:

My smocked black top is from Loft, purchased last year. It's one of those things I bought, wore a few times and then totally forgot about. It's cute though, right? It's still available in plus sizes and this one from H&M is similar and very inexpensive. For an upgrade, I'd go with this pretty Frye version (on sale in black) or hell, this one from Johnny Was if you're feeling fancy. It looks okay all hanging out but I also really like it tucked in: 

Oh hi! There are those fucking Madewell jeans I never stop talking about or wearing. I can't help it, they are consistently the best and I should probably just get another pair, like these which have a great wash and a curvy fit and dammit, I want them. 

Okay, this is something I saw a lot in Paris (though usually the bag was Chanel or YSL or something amazing) - the boxy crossbody bag worn high and tight. I assume it's to make it harder to be pick-pocketed but it is also kind of a fashion thing. I was into it and halfway through the trip I quietly notched my strap up a few holes. Here are the details: 

This is my J.Crew signet bag which is your perfect little weekend or vacation crossbody. It comes and goes from the website but the Harper crossbody is available as a more structured option. My shoes are Madewell sidewalk skimmers from a few years back and they are a favorite of mine! This spring they have a really cute suede ballet flat that I especially love in red. If you desperately desire blue suede flats like mine, check out these from Banana Republic!

Okay, y'all. This is my new labradorite tassel necklace and it is my absolute favorite thing right now. I get so many compliments and it's just one of those things that makes an outfit. There are matching earrings and NR has a whole lot of other beautiful Dean Davidson jewelry as well. Sigh. 

Finally, I've been getting a lot of good wear out of my Veda Jayne jacket (check eBay for grey) which is the perfect thing for a chilly spring day. Or any kind of day, really. I love it a lot and highly recommend, if not this jacket, a similar version. There's a cool off-white leather jacket at TJM and a non-leather grey moto jacket at Anthro that would work well for spring but, um, AllSaints has a REALLY excellent dove grey suede jacket that you should probably consider. Just think about it, that's all.
