Today's Look: Good-Day Sun-Shine!!

I feel like we've won the nice weather lottery! Well, at least for now, so I decided to take advantage of it and enjoy some sunshine...

Being inspired by the recent flood sunshine, I decided that my new floral print glasses from Aldo would be perfect as a foundation for my outfit today. To complete the look I pulled out my peachy colored espadrille wedges I got from Target a few years ago, paired with jeans and my khaki colored cotton blazer from J.Crew, threw on a cotton t-shirt, and I'm out the door!

The look is simple and easy, and comfortable enough for a walk in the park...

Or to stop and smell the flowers...

Or to scale walls to capture the artwork =-)

However you look at it, this is a perfect everyday look for almost anywhere on days like this!

So whatever you do, or whatever you wear, make sure you enjoy today some way some how!

Peace Peeps!

Old Turns New Again

So today I decided to create something, and when I started out, I had no clue as to what it was... However, after going through old clothes and such to give away, I found an old purse that was ready to be sent to a new home. That's when the flash of genius came to me! Why not turn this huge akwardly sized bag into an awesome clutch purse. And so I did!

Unfortunately I took the scissors to the purse before I could take a before shot, but trust me, it was odd... Anywho, orginally the purse was this I guess giraffe print with red accents, however I decided to try for something a little brighter, so I opted for this neon yellow thread for the stiching... I hand stiched everything, down to adding the zipper (which I used from the orignal purse). I also used jewelry wiring and black beads as an ornament for the zipper for the time being...

What do you think? Would you wear this? If you saw this in a store, how much would you be willing to pay?

Thanks for stopping by! Until next time peeps! Peace.

Today's Look: Summer was that you??

Leave it to Chicago to go from Spring to Summer overnight, literally! Yesterday we had an abnormally 80 degree day, which was nice for a change from the rain and cold we have had the past few weeks, but it was just a tease... Today, we are back to Spring, but it was nice to go outside without a coat and not flinch from the cold as soon as I stepped out my door!

Jacket: Banana Republic * Shirt: H&M * Skirt: Thrifted* Belt, Glasses: Forever 21 * Bag: Lucky * Hat: Bought from Hippie Gypsy in Tucson, AZ

Being inspired by the sudden burst of warmth, I decided my favorite indian skirt had to be worn! It's perfect!

I love this skirt for a few reasons: 1. it's super comfortable; 2. it's long but you still get a nice breeze; 3. it was only $2 at a thrift store; 4. it looks like it's dancing by itself when the wind blows (see below)... So with these wonderful reasons, why wouldn't this skirt be my fav?!?!

Now all I need are more lovely days... Summer! I am ready when you are!!
