Haven't posted much along the lines of fashion recently. A lot of it has to do with my favorite neighbor/photographer moving away and the odd summer light. Turns out, there's a 15 minute window (from 8:00-8:15pm) where the lighting is half-decent outside. SO annoying. I've also been avoiding any and all kind of shopping lately. After binging nearly $800 on the most recent upgrade of Adobe CS5, I've been a tad weary of spending money. Saving money is nice, right? It took nearly 3 weeks of no thrift shopping before I broke. While at one of my many thrift haunts last week; I scored an elastic-waist skirt & Forever21 teal flats. Here's the outfit I made: Here's the breakdown:

• earrings: annilygreen $4
• top: MisC $14
• belt: thrifted $1
• skirt: thrifted $4 (talked down from $6)
• shoes: thrifted Forever21 $3

The shirt is the most expensive item in my ensemble, but by far my favorite. It's a very light-weight satin fabric with the most dainty print on it. It's P-E-R-F-E-C-T for keeping cool on a hot summer day. I also love the subtle pops of teal: the shoes, the belt & bits in the print on the shirt. It's likely I'll be packing this in my bag to blogher. UPDATE: Here's what the shirt fabric looks like up close. This is just one of many sweetly painted landscapes that adorns this shirt: Have you found any sweet deals recently? Please feel free to include links in the comments!!
