the short of it.

i realized, when taking photos for this outfit here, that these shorts were really see thru. and for some reason, i always wear this top with black tights and boots. so these two worked out their issues and came together unexpectedly.
love when that happens.

ok, i'm catching up on some awards, but i'm always torn on choosing seven people to pass them on to. at one point i stopped choosing and gave the award to "all my fabulous readers."
i had an unsettled feeling...like i was doing everyone a disservice by not passing on the award. it feels good to receive, but even better to give. it's also a great opportunity to find out each other's quirks! so consider it a "tag" from me to share some of your quirks. and remember, there are those who have been tagged, and those who will be tagged.
love you all!


(blouse, bcbg; shorts, walmart)


huge thanks to hazal and cana of sisters and sisters for the stylish blogger award. being able to share clothes, it's endless wardrobe possibilities and double the pleasure here. they always look like they're having a great time with each other...reminds me of my sisters.

1)  i always sleep on the right side of the bed.
2) i would love to work with preschool children.
3) enjoy cooking, but hate the cleaning up part.
4) i love cheese...all kinds, any kind.
5) i'm allergic to cats
6) i prefer red wine over white
7) i don't watch scary movies...cuz they're scary.

I love the wind blown look in the last pic! Looking gorgeous as usual.
Thanks for the comment, Becks. And to answer your last comment, I'm not sure where Cotton On is from. It's a new store that sprung up at my local mall. Love it when that happens. :)

You are so sweet. Thank you for passing on the award. I too will need to catch-up on these as well.
Loving this top on you with the accessories. The proportions are great too.

Re: the purse purchase from the Thread show. I contemplated between teal and the light grey then decided I had a bright electric blue one already kind of close to teal so went with light grey!
