also loving: that handbag.

it had me at hello.

Street Style // Stripes & Sunshine

here is what we know:
i'm a sucker for stripes,
yellow is my favorite color,
and my favorite outfit often consists
of skinnies and a vintage blazer

despite all of that, the most amazing
part of this look... is that the blazer?
it's from the little boys section of a thrift store.

and it's by christian dior.

Street Style // Shiny Slacks

this pretty lady was out pushing a baby stroller
containing one of the most precious little imps i've ever seen.
she was kind enough to let me stop and snap photos
of her mint colored handbag
and her super-sweet velvet pants.

Concrete Catwalk // Geometric

it's been a bit of a crazy week for me.
i resigned from my job and accepted new one,
tried to nurse a really sucky eye injury (puppy's paw = ouch),
watched as some of our very best friends became parents,
and said goodbye to one of the most special girls i know.

it's been the kind of week that calls for drapey, comfy fabrics,
and boots that make you feel fabulous.

blouse - vintage, thrifted
sweater-y vest (but not a sweater vest) - dillard's outlet (r.i.p.)
mini skirt - tj maxx
tights - j. crew
boots - michael antonio via piperlime

Street Style // Winter Citrus

doesn't this ensemble brighten up a dreary looking day?
loving the bright color of leather

Thank You

i am touched that so many left a note on the previous "haiti" post, and i've happily donated $120 (UPDATED: $145) dollars in your honor, to heart to heart international.

thank you for commenting and showing your support, and please continue to keep haiti in your prayers.

Haiti

image via the examiner

after seeing the devastation in haiti plastered all over the news, i haven't exactly felt like posting the outfits photos i had planned for the rest of this week.
just feels pretty trivial at this moment, you know?

instead, i'm going to try to do what little i can to provide some sort of aid to those in such desperate need.

will you help me?

for every individual who leaves a message in the comments section of this post, i will donate $5 to the haitian earthquake relief efforts of heart to heart international, an amazing distaster-relief organization based here in kansas city.

if you'd like to make a donation of your own, i would truly encourage you to do so, and if you are local - there are also ways to donate your time to the organization by volunteering at their facilities in olathe.

now, get typing!
