tank <ann taylor loft>, blouse <fei>, shorts <adriano goldschmied>, shoes <antik batik>, wristlet clutch <ann taylor>, bracelets <variety, click here for details>

these are absolutely my favorite pair of sandals.  they are worn best with deconstructed jean shorts.  composed of flashy mosaic mirrors, the sandals complement the super casual shorts.  here, i love how my sandals mirror the colorful and artistic surroundings.  sometimes just wearing a sleeveless top feels a little too “undone.”  i prefer to dress-up the look with a floral, silk button up, tied at the waist.  to make it ultimately casual, i stacked all my favorite “friendship” bracelets.  they add color, quirk and a little extra depth to my park perfect look!

i love the new trend of stacking friendship bracelets.  wearing multiple bracelets is a great conversation starter; each bracelet oftentimes tells a story greater than what meets the eye.  one bracelet can signify a time, a reason and a place of where it was received.  i remember being a little girl and finding a bracelet under the christmas tree.  with the name “barbara” on it, i knew i could never part with this bracelet, though there were few times i felt I had grown out of it for a fleeting moment.  as a gift from my parents (my sister received a matching one with her name), it was too meaningful to me. recently, my 5 year old nephew made me a friendship bracelet (made of green yarn above).  i think of him every time i wear it.  of course, i’ve added new bracelets and if you’re in the market to expand your collection, here are a few suggestions:

1. target <$5+> more options in-store than online
2. athropologie <$15+>
3. jcrew <$18+> more options in-store than online
4. gorjana <$35+>
5. frieda and nellie <$130+>

next time you “stack” a bracelet, think about the time and place in which you received it.  it’s sure to bring back fond memories!

top <fei>, sweater <willow and clay>, shorts <jcrew>, booties <chloe>, bag <antik batik>, jewelry <antique and gifted>

shorts coupled with booties is probably one of my favorite combinations. luckily a “cold” front came through okc:), so i was able to wear these wonderful booties without much of a sweat.  these chloe booties are soft as can be and fit like a glove.  the chunky heel gives just enough support making these heels incredibly comfortable! as with any closet, the ability to remix pieces is a reflection of one’s style and it’s pretty much necessary to remix your daily looks (unless you have the means to shop continuously).  this sweater can be thrown over almost anything (maxi dresses, tanks, long sleeved tops). see how i wore it last here.  with it’s versatility and shiny, metallic fabric (a major fall 2012 trend), this sweater will make an easy transition to fall.
