I scored this dress when my little sister was in town. We went shopping for school clothes for her and I, of course, could resist trying on stuff as well. She's only 15 but she's got herself some style. She talked me into buying this adorable, little dress and I've been wearing it whenever I have the chance.

This outfit felt so effortless and simple but I love that it still looked put together. I totally credit this Isis necklace from [un]possible cuts for polishing up an otherwise casual outfit. I've been wearing it all the time. It's crazy how often I get asked about their necklaces when I wear them. Instant validation :)

I had a lazy week post-Peace Corps reunion.  I had the luxury of being on summer break so I could putter around the apartment in yoga pants for a few days, cooking, reading, and watching Game of Thrones for the first time. This outfit symbolized a return to the world at large. It took having set plans with my friend Rita to actually get me in real clothes. So I got myself all fancied up. Heels, lipstick, the whole shebang. 

I've had two other chambray button ups and this one from Kohl's is my "third time it's a charm." The first one ripped, the second was too stiff, but this one is perfect. Soft and worn in just right. It's a great layering piece, which one needs in the Bay Area.
