Hello, loves!
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Mark and I definitely kept ourselves busy, and got so much accomplished. I love weekends like that, when you can sit down and focus on all of those little tasks you put off during the week. We started on Saturday by heading to Santa Monica for BMW’s 100 year anniversary presentation, which you may have caught a glimpse of on my Instagram stories. It was my first time using stories, so hopefully I was doing it right! We took a peek at several concept cars, sat in a drop head coupe Rolls Royce, and randomly fell in lust with the Mini Cooper Clubman. I had never seen it in person, but once I got inside, I loved how roomy it was and the surprisingly advanced technology. We ate at a little Mediterranean restaurant then headed back home to watch football and do laundry. Yesterday we stayed in, cleaning the house, more laundry (does it ever end??) and I posted about 40 items to my Poshmark account. I’m not even close to finishing cleaning my closet, but that felt like a good start. The easiest place to start is what did I not wear this past summer and what makes me think I would wear it if I held on to it to wear next year.. If there’s a dress that I haven’t touched since last year, I’m obviously over it and could stand to make a little money instead of letting it collect dust in my closet 😉
This bipolar weather has me reaching for the lightest of layers, like this gauzy, belted vest. I love how the slits on the side allow for air to pass through when you’re walking. Even though the material would typically be reserved for warmer temps, it adds a little edge to this knit mini dress, paired with the ring clutch. I remember when Alexander McQueen came out with the original of this style, and it was something like 2k. I can’t say that even if I was loaded I would pay that much for a bag, but certainly not a clutch. I was browsing on eBay one day and came across this similar style for about $20. I’ve definitely got more use out of it than expected, and my favorite time to wear it, believe it or not, is the middle of the day. Worn when it’s daylight, the bag is more quirky than badass.
What did you get up to this weekend? I’d love to hear!
Side note, this is the shortest dress I own and I was so nervous to wear it… Tights are definitely on the menu next time haha.
