Simple is good

Hey hey it's Friday!  And the weekend ahead isn't as crazy as last week's was for me so I am very happy about that!  Today's outfit is pretty simple.  And in fact, it may even be a combination I've worn on the blog before, I'm too lazy to go look.  Sometimes the simplest outfits are the ones I love best though!


I wear this necklace a lot.  Practically all the time you've probably noticed.  The thing I love about it is how versatile it is.  It's from the La Coco collection from Stella and Dot, which is meant to be mixed and matched and played with.  It's one of the best purchases I've ever made I think, because I can make this work with just about anything.


These sandals are one of my favorite things ever too, I haven't worn them much this summer because they are on their last legs.  Today they were just begging to be worn though, so I happily obliged.


We met a couple of friends for a beer at our favorite bar last night to celebrate National IPA Day.  It was last minute, but it was nice and the sun was already going down when we got to the patio, so it wasn't even terribly hot out.  I'd say it was summer at it's best!  Hope you all have wonderful weekends!

Outfit rundown:
Shirt - Maurices
Skirt - LOFT, thrifted
Sandals - Kohls (old)
Necklace - La Coco from Stella and Dot
Bracelets - S&D, Premier, Charming Charlie
Earrings - Charming Charlie

  3. Very pretty outfit. I like when we use contrast: here, the top is sleek and smooth and the skirt is ruched and wrinkly. On a subliminal level, that adds visual interest.

    Being the workhorse I am, I couldn't agree more with you about celebrating Friday and the end of the week. Whew!
