On Sunday we decided to pay yet another visit to the “Starving Artist Bar” for brunch and in tune with its untraditional, edgy vibe, I felt like rebelling against my own natural inclinations and wearing something in a way that is new to me. When looking though my closet(s), I stumbled upon the orange, wrinkled Marni skirt that I used for the Revolve contest and instinctively began to look for some silk top to pair it with. This is where that momentary rebellion kicked in and settled on the Junk Food tee. Over my university years, my collection of Junk Food vintage-inspired, graphic tees grew pretty large but I hardly even glance in their direction now a days. The revival of one of those long forgotten tees, in combination with this wild skirt, culminated in what I call “Marni junk food’ because that’s basically what this look is is in multiples senses of its meaning.

My Olympus was acting unusually capricious last night, so I’ll have to take pictures of that look at another time (probably tomorrow).
Straw It
Today’s look-of-the-day is very straw happy. It was unusually hot for April yesterdays so, in the interest of savoring the moment and maximizing on the opportunity, we decided to go to the beach. It turned out to be something of a premature endeavour because it was too windy by the water and the beach was extremely overcrowded – I guess we were all a little eager. But the day was still beautiful and relaxing. I felt like wearing something flowy and romantic so I paired a loose silk dress with a high waist silk coat. I then added a straw tote and pumps for a fresh, quintessentially summer feel.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Today’s look-of-the-day is of the outfit I wore to the school open-house and reception. It was sunny and beautiful that day but still a little chilly, so I paired my cream Robert Rodriguez dress with a large pocket spring coat and a pastel blue cashmere cardigan. The schedule of the open-house was pretty intensive but mom and I were still able to find 15 minutes for a Starbucks and mini photo shoot break.
Dusty Bluish-Grey
I was asked a question recently in relation to sequin dresses and I thought that it might be helpful for me to answer it on the blog. This was the message from one of my YouTube subscribers : “I want to wear a silver clingy, one shoulder sequin dress, but I hate my legs. Would be okay if I wore tall leather boots instead of pumps?”
