Bows & Pearls

[Dress as top: Zara (love this version) | Skirt: H&M | Shoes: DIY (tutorial here; similar here) | Bag: Salvatore Ferragamo | Jewelry: Vintage | Watch: Citizen | Sunglasses: Ray Ban | Lips: YSL Le Fuchsia]

What can I say? I'm a big believer in bows and pearls. My uniform as of late: balancing (more like contrasting) lighter fabrics with heavier ones. The free flowing with the structured.

Had to have this little red number -- really couldn't help myself! Although I initially thought its small size would take some getting used to, all my essentials fit just fine. Contrast topstitching and a mini luggage tag are a few details that I absolutely go crazy for when it comes to bags. Truly a good dose of happy!

Under My Umbrella || 15/30 Challenge Day 30

[Dress: ASOS Petite | Jacket: BCBG Max Azria (similar) | Sandals: Zara (old, similar here) | Bag: Dooney & Bourke | Jewelry: J.Crew, Vintage | Watch: Citizen | Umbrella: Target]

Ahh, we've reached the end -- the final installment of the 15/30: The Capsule Wardrobe Project. You can find my recap here along with a few snippets from other bloggers! This extra jumbo striped umbrella was a pretty fun prop. I know, who wears open-toed sandals when it rains? I assumed it would be nice/warm/sunshine-y in Southern California (as one does, obviously).

PS. Happy birthday to my love, Sahil!
