OOTD: Safari

So I found out that the problem is in the new post creation template and I cannot creat a new post without bugs on my computer but that if I create a post on another device (phone or iPad) I can come back and edit it normally. This is a huge improvement for my blogging activity because it means that I can use the pics that I have on the computer and blog almost as usual.
Well, I didn't know this this morning when I took my OOTD, so these are the phone pics. The dress is Loft (last year) and the accessories JCrew. I really recommend the Brompton mini hobo in safari cat for the current price ($99 less 30% off), I carried all morning on my shoulder without a problem and I appreciate that there is a zipped compartement to safely carry my wallet. I don't cave very often for bags and epecially JCrew bags (the last one is the Thompson tote from three years ago) but this one is worth it IMO and will also transition well into Fall and even Winter:







The belt is the elastic clip belt (there is a factory version of this) and the necklace is the double strand giraffe necklace that is currently on sale as well. I like it a lot because I can pair it with many things that are in my closet as I have many neutrals and it gives a safari vibe to any outfit (even without the bag).

I am off to a special event at the Soho store. Read all about it tomorrow!

  1. You look so cute in that outfit. I really like it. The necklace is nice on the white shirt.

    I think my TTurk shorts are going back. I love the pattern & fit, but don't feel it's me right now. It's too bad I have return them considering they're just about sold out everywhere.

  2. Bummer about the shorts but you once told me that I shouldn't hang on things just because they were hard to get and it was very good advice! I think that to wear shorts you have to feel good about yourself otherwise they will go unworn, so it is probably for the best if you are not feeling like it.

    1. I want to give you a quick response, so the rope necklace tunic...I am usually S and took the S in it. Going to a M would have made it too big from the waist down. This is coming from someone with a thicker waist. You have a svelte one, so do not size up. The top has some magical property that creates a pushup effect. Enjoy it. lol I didn't find it too tight in the arms. Maybe pull on them a little bit to stretch them out and they will be fine.
