{ an american girl }

May 27, 2011




{ karen walker sunnies, neiman marcus cashmere sweater, vintage natori tunic, rue de…. jeans, dolce vita shoes }

wishing my fellow americans a fun & safe memorial day weekend, with this unintentionally (but fortuitously) patriotic costumery. i’ll be spending the next few days helping my baby sister move to new york city. i couldn’t be more excited about anything else in the whole world!!

    The batwing style of the tunic is beautiful! And your heels are remarkable. That's so exciting about your sister's move, have fun!

    I don't know what that is.. and I can honestly say I never would have thought to pick that up.. but I LOVE THAT SWEATER. The striped tunic is a great touch, as well!

    love the draping of the cream sweater with the vertical striped blouse; it all ties together nicely within a patriotic, intentional or not, color palette. the jeans are beautiful and crucial, they help to balance the whole look so you do not appear to be a circus tent.

    my older sister is one of the most beautiful women in the world; enjoy having your baby sister around! we love the support and strong role models.

    I love how the cream sweater made the navy stripes pop out and the pumps add that pop to the outfit. It's a great comfortable look that still has the sexiness to it. Happy Memorial weekend everyone!
