I wore this outfit to work last week, and I think I realized that it is a smidge big on me because the bust kept falling down or drooping. Nevertheless, I really like the color and thought the blazer went really well with it. Plus I was super excited to finally use the aqua ASOS belt I got awhile back and hadn't worn yet. Also, it was ridiculously windy when I took these pics - I'm surprised I didn't end up with a few indecent shots of my undies.
so windy it was blowing my skirt into this fun shape...
and my hair into this not-so-fun shape
I'm Wearing
Nordstrom dress - old (similar)
Banana Republic gray cami - old
ASOS aqua belt - $8 (love this one with cute stars!)
Banana Republic gray/lilac striped blazer - gift
Eve's Addiction circle pendant necklace - old/gift (similar)
Guess silver boyfriend watch - gift
White pumps - so old I can't remember the brand (similar)
In other news, I am officially 1 week into my August shopping ban, and I'm happy to report that I'm still on track. It helps when you're completely unable to access the internet or a physical store for an entire weekend, but I'll take any assistance I can get. Things are also really busy at work, so it's been pretty easy to stay away from browsing online during the week too. I suspect week 2 will be more difficult because I have a few returns to make and I need to shop for a birthday present for my Mom, so I will have to go into some stores, but I'm hoping to avoid temptation for as long as humanly possible - maybe I can get her something from John Deere for her birthday?
And I'm linking up today with Real Girl Glam, so head on over there at your leisure to see some other posts or submit your own!
