Hello!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  We spent a lot of time at the pool, although we did go out with a couple of my husband’s colleagues and their wives on Saturday night.  I wanted to get a picture of my “night on the town” outfit, but it’s always chaos right before the babysitter arrives and I didn’t get a chance.  We had a great time and I got to check out a bar/restaurant I’ve never been to before, so that was nice.  Jon (my husband) and usually get out once a month without the kids and that’s just not often enough to check out all of the cool new places here!

Anyway the weekend is over now and I’m back to work!  Today I’m wearing a Milly skirt, Size 4, that I found years ago in a boutique here in Richmond and I still love it!  It’s a simple navy A-line skirt, dressed up with a “belt” and green bow ribbon.  I love that you can change the color of the ribbon to go with different outfits.  I don’t know that I’ve ever changed the ribbon, but it’s nice to have the option.  I’m wearing an Ann Taylor bright Yellow Wrap Top with cuffed sleeves that I bought on sale last summer.  The brass detail on the top matches the brass rings on the belt of skirt, so that was a bonus for me.  I don’t like mixing metals on my outfits (although my watch is white gold and I do wear it with gold jewelry).  I didn’t need too much accessorizing today, since my top and skirt had a little hardware on them!  I paired my outfit with simple gold earrings, a Gold Branch Necklace from Etsy, which can be found here for $32 and my American Rag Navy Peep Toe Platforms, which are also shown in my July 11^th post here.
