Good morning!  The sun is shining, my husband is back in town and my daughter got dressed without a fight this morning, so all is right with my world again!  And I got to go for a run this morning, so I’m happy!   

I didn’t realize how much my top was untucked and billowing out until I got to work and saw the picture.  I’ve since tucked it back in, so it’s not quite so voluminous!  This is a BCBG Tie Front Top, Size Small that I bought at the outlet in 2012.  It’s shown in another outfit here I love that this top is so versatile; I wear it under dresses, with blazers and by itself.  It is very sheer, so I have to wear a cami under it when I wear it as my main top.  The top is really long in the back and shorter in the front and would also look cute with skinny jeans, but I’ve never worn it that way before.  Too hot for jeans right now!  My Pleated Silk Skirt is from Banana Republic, Size 4 and it’s at least two years old.  It’s a departure from my usual M.O. of pencil skirts.  But I loved the colors and geometric print and the skirt is soft and feminine without being too girly.  I do worry about wearing silk, especially when my sticky finger children are chasing me around in the morning!  I accessorized with an Army Green Leather Skinny Belt from Ann Taylor, chunky dark green Jade earrings and Circa Joan & David Basketweave Brown Leather Shoes.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!
