Bow and Blazer

Top: H&M (love this bowed top too!)Blazer: H&M (similar silhouette) Dress (turned skirt): Kaitlyn's (similar dip dye dress) Shoes: Zara

Happy... uhh, I mean Hello Monday.

This weekend was full of birthdays, BBQs, and sunburns. Oh how my Irish skins betrays me so.

I must say for quite an eventful weekend my Monday is not as torturous as most. To celebrate my rare hangover free Monday I dressed is a bit.

This skirt is actually a DIY project from THIS dress. It was a dip dye attempt. It didn't turn out as smoothly as I anticipated but I still appreciate the outcome.

After turning it into a skirt I paired it with my tailored bow top and pleplum blazer.

With all neutrals I had to add my color block pumps from Zara to keep it form being a snore fest.

I'd say this Monday is already a success and it's not even noon. *pats herself on the back*

I hope your weekends were full of fashion, friends and food. (Don't you love when a good use of alliteration sneaks up on you!).

A love story

And so it goes...

When I saw these white trousers it was love at first sight.

This love affair was dangerous, especially considering my first love, Red Wine.

But I knew there would be a day when they would meet, and things would get real tricky.

When my first love, Wine, and my new love, White Trousers, first met it was awkward.

I was timid with my affection towards wine, and tried to keep my hands off White Trousers as even one ounce of jealousy and wine would show no mercy.

With careful movement, both wine and white trousers controlled their potentially disastrous behavior.

Since then, wine and white trousers have grown a mutual understanding of my relationship with both of them, although it is safe to say that I still avoid their meeting as much as possible.

The end.

Trousers: Mango (Similar style),
