Neck Ties and Blue Skies

"Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." --Coco Chanel

There is never a wrong time to wear a blouse.  Especially if it has capped sleeves and a neck-tie.  This is one of the easiest ways that you can be both comfortable and dressy.  I mean, who doesn't love chiffon?!  On this beautiful Tuesday morning, I had the distinct pleasure (thank you 8 am class) of rising with the sun... so these colors completely reflected my mood.  Keeping it casual, I wore my Tuxedo Leggings (which also look far dressier than they are) and my favorite Oxford heels.  To step it up a little, I wore my pearl bracelet and Cat Ear pearl earrings.  I also swapped my usual red lipstick for a bright pink, which I prefer when wearing navy blue.  I've never been very good at dressing casually, I suppose...

Welcome to the 50's!

"She's always wearing, like, a 1950's bathing suit."  

That should honestly be engraved on my future tombstone.  In a true Southern Californian response to the East Coast's Blizzard Warnings, we headed to the beach!  Don't worry, we wore sunscreen.  In my opinion, there is nothing more flattering, comfortable, and classic than a high-waisted bikini.  Regardless of my obvious obsession with all vintage clothing, I found this adorable swimsuit at American Apparel and actually mismatched it.  I loved the contrast of an all-white top (especially if you're tan) and the paisley bottoms.  My cover-up also happens to have the exact same blue in its flower, which, if you're matchy like me, is all the better.  If you are also going for the 1950's aesthetic, a matching twisty headband is the cherry on top.
