In the last few post I briefly mentioned what my school looks are like but I haven’t shown you any examples so here is my first school-look-post. A light dress, cozy cardigan, and a statement piece is my go to combination when I’m rushing out the door for the 9 o’clock torts or contracts class. Nothing like cashmere to make you feel like you are still in bed

weardrobe explore interview
On top of the amazing Spotlight Blogger of the Month campaign, the wonderfully supportive people at Weardrobe featured me and FashionistaTalk.com on their Explore page. I love the beautiful graphic they made (picture from Future is Vintage) and I thought to include it in this post, along with my interview. You can read it here or on the Explore page.
my Cuban gingerbread men
I realize that I’m making this post a little late but I’m sticking by that old ‘better late then never’ cliche. If I had to single out my favourite part of today’s look it would be my ‘gingerbread men’ necklace that I bought on my last vacation in Cuba. Admittedly, from a craftsmanship perspective, there isn’t much to it but I think it embodies that Cuban warmth and charm that is so inherent in their culture. I love this necklace for the very reason others might have passed it by – its primitiveness or even immaturity. It may be simple in appearance but it’s loaded with vibrancy. I think its colour emanates with such intensity and festivity.
Sheer Dot
We celebrated a friend’s birthday last night so, as you can imagine, I’m a little low on energy today. I felt like wearing something light and delicate so I layered my sheer Etro blouse over a sheer polka-dot dress. The belt softens the transition from the one garment to another while visually separating them at the same time. The top part of the dress conveniently assumes the role of a camisole that a sheer blouse often requires and the bottom is turned into a skit. I’ve never layered sheer on sheer before but I think it works.
layered petals
We spent most of the day in Palo Alto, CA and these pictures were taken on the campus of Stanford University. The weather was just how I like it – hot with a slightly cool breeze, which made the soft ruffles of this layered petal dress gently dance in the wind (very picture friendly conditions:)). The interesting thing about this dress is that it’s by Chelsea Flower but it looks suspiciously similar to a dress from one of Stella McCartney’s collections. The few pictures that I’ve included at the end are of Stella’s dresses. Is it just me or does it seem like Chelsea Flower was inspired to the point of ‘replication’?
