Hello Everybody! I hope your weekend was swell.

I saw this lovely silk Zoe & Sam blouse on Gilt and instantly fell in love (impulse buy much?). The color and white piping caught my eye and my mind immediately filled with multiple pairings revolving around this blouse. However, when I came back to my home in Dallas and saw the blouse in real life, it was MAMMOTH! I truly love this blouse, but it’s not even worth altering in my opinion. Two more of me would’ve been able to fit inside this blouse. I realize the sleeve design is meant to be voluminous, but it’s just too billowy for me. This is very obvious in the photo below.
I decided to pair it with flare jeans to see how it looked and the result, in my opinion, is decent. But, I intended this shirt to be a staple piece in my work wardrobe, not casual wardrobe, so back to Gilt it will go. I most likely won’t be purchasing anymore Zoe & Sam blouses seeing as how large they are.

My Mom snapped this bag up from ALDO a couple years back. She’s currently using another handbag, so I took the opportunity to borrow this lovely ivory bag. It’s rather large in size, so it’s perfect for toting around my laptop, charger, iPad, water bottle and various items. If I can talk my Mom into it, I just might bring this beautiful bag to the Big Apple for my internship.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
