I'm completely obsessed with this skirt. When I saw this fabric, I picked up the whole roll and handed it to my mom.

"Shorts or skirt?" I asked.

Skirt it became. I selected the vintage buttons from her humongous collection, and painted them to brighten them up.

I'll try to stop posting so many homemade pieces! Mom's exclusive with her creations.

The past two summers, I was working/interning at Nordstrom, so as every good Nordstromess knows, last weekend (Memorial Weekend) was Womens' Half-Yearly Sale. My boyfriend's mom & I ran over to check out the scene, but were on a limited timeframe. Naturally, everything I loved (aka, Tory Burch's entire spring line) and purchased was not on sale. I fell in LOVE with this skirt, from the BP department (for those of you that don't understand what the heck Nordstrom's departments mean, BP = juniors). It wasn't on sale, but it was still a steal at $34! I have to say, finding a top to pair with it has been challenging, so feel free to send me some thoughts!

i'm so obsessed with the necklace i'm wearing here, but these pictures didn't do it justice. if you're following me on instagram, you've already seen these close-ups:

lace & bows

Does it get more feminine than lace & bows? I don't think you can overload on either.
