This beautiful top was my Ma's, I abducted it from her closet about five years ago, freeing it from it's shelved prison. I am pretty sure it's from some time in the 70's, so sorry Ma-that makes it vintage!!
Sorry for the artsy/weird nature of this photoshoot-my amazing photographer *cough husband cough* has gone back to pharmacy school so I am limited to my tripod, timer, and G baby's naptime.
Top-Vintage
Shorts-homemade cutoff Abercrombie&Fitch
Sandals-Target
Hoop Earrings-Wetseal
Bracelet-Forever21
Friendship bracelet-Homemade

Because Jenna Lyons just gets it...
For those not obsessed with fashion, Jenna Lyons is the director/mastermind behind the American staple called J.Crew. Now, if you're thinking, "Um...I've been to the J.Crew store in the local mall and I was NOT impressed" stop your hating right there. I have never been impressed with the selection in their stores, but check out their beautiful stuff online or in their catalogs and you will be in love. Today and tomorrow you can get an extra 30% off of their sale items, and there are around 1000 pieces in Women's wear alone to choose from. (I can only afford their stuff on sale) They have great mix-and match pieces for any occasion, but if you are in need of work clothes, their perfectly tailored and well-crafted blazers, trousers, and pencil skirts are a must.
Here's some of the amazing stuff you can snag:

Love this intricate bolero-and the rich color makes it seasonless.

Silk+Colorblock, what's not to love?

Brown opaque tights will take these shorts right into Fall.

I love the drape of this dress, and the price is unbelievable.

Pockets on a skirt are always a DO for me.

J.Crew is known for their amazing well-made shoes. They are also VERY expensive (for my taste at least). With the discount, these amazing wedges are under $50, which is unheard of, even for their flip-flops. Yes, I said flip-flops.

This is actually a romper (one piece)!

Love that this has such a tailored look, but the knit means it is super-comfy.

A moto jacket made out of light-weight Merino wool? For under $50?? YESS!!!

When you use these colors with sequins, the look is completely luxe without a hint of silliness.

originally $225, you can snag this dress for $70.

This one was $250, now $70 as well!! (more beautiful colors too)

Outfit of the Day: Cerulean Sky
One of my favorite fashion developments in the past few years is the mixing of tie-dye prints into dressier clothing. When I was thumbing through my Harper's Bazaar a couple years ago and came across Blumarine's spread featuring the below tie-dye dresses, yes, I died a little (pun intended). Here is a top that I tie-dyed myself using a kit I got from Wal-mart, dressed up with a pencil skirt.

Blumarine's version (source) Amazing, right?
And my version, slightly less impressive-
Top-Target dyed myself!
Skirt-Express
Necklace-Beamon Baubles
Watch-Guess
Shoes-Sears (J.Lo brand)

I'm thinking that there is definitely more tie-dye kits in my future...
