I'm back at work today! As fun as it was to get a break from work, it's nice to have a routine again. As much as I want to think of myself as a spontaneous type, I'm really addicted to the normalcy of a routine. I adore getting my cup of coffee in the morning, eating lunch with my co-workers and going home to the hubs at night. There's a lot to be said in expecting certain things from life.
What isn't normal is this outfit! Would you ever think of pairing a girly peplum top with tattered shorts and black booties? One part of the look is feminine while the other half is so masculine. The stark contrasts in this look appeals to me since I love the unexpected. Go figure. I may not be so spontaneous day to day, but I live spontaneously through my outfits.
How is your Monday treating you so far?
Oh...and P.S. yes, it was insanely chilly in SF over the weekend. And yes, I was cold. And no, I didn't wear this out in SF because it was so cold. I stayed indoors as much as I could. =)
I adore this top!! Glad you have a positive outlook on going back to work!
ReplyDeleteI love the girly peplum with the shorts, you look amazing!

A mix of things indeed! I really like to mix it up too, but perhaps in a different way. I try to do a theme a day.
ReplyDeleteit's unexpectedly pleasant! I also love the playfulness of the booties!

Wow, this top is amazingly pretty! Love the combo with the baggy shorts!
ReplyDeleteLove the combo of the top and shorts! I wouldn't think to pair everything together, but it all looks great. And I wish it was getting chilly here!
ReplyDeletegreat look. love the feminine top and loosy denim shorts together!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely with you! I'm such a creature of habit and hate when things don't go as planned (I'm trying to get better!). It's just nice having a schedule that works for you, you know? I'm still trying to adjust in L.A. but am hoping I'll start feeling like I have a normal routine here! I love this fun top and those shorts! I swear I tried on a pair JUST like that yesterday!

I love the mix of masculine and feminine. It makes such a great combination. And I have come to realize I'll never be a spontaneous person either. I have to have a routine. But actually, I'm pretty spontaneous when it comes to my son. So I think he loosens me up a bit. :) And bring some of that cool over into the valley! I'm dying! <3

Love this outfit! I'm actually wearing a winterised version of this today - boyfriend jeans and a long-sleeved top under my peplum! Love the combination of polished and scruffy :)

Hello Nancy! I adore getting my cup of coffee at the morning too. I like contrasts, and this one look suprisingly amazing! I would never say that those two part of clothes could look so good together...

Actually it is not a bad pairing at all. Longer baggy jeans would look good with the top too I think =)
ReplyDeleteBtw, I like the idea of getting coffee every morning =D
