J.Crew Shimmerveil Tee and Belt / Zara Culottes / H&M Clutch / F21 Heels
Wearing my new leopard necklace courtesy of Jack Vartanian. I’m completely in love with it and have been wearing it non stop since I picked it up earlier this week. ***During the month of April, 10% of sales from the Menagerie collection will be donated to PANTHERA. http://www.panthera.org***
Yesterday morning got off to a rocky start. I woke up ten minutes before I had to be at a breakfast meeting (thanks, alarm) and rolled out of bed throwing on whatever was nearby. After heading back home, I knew that my day and mood could go two ways. I could sink further into exhaustion (had lack of sleep lately), stay in my all gray and black outfit and slam coffee all day while glued to my computer. Or, I could take a shower, clean myself up and put on my favorite bright culottes, a glitzy top, and accent only with animal print accessories to try and snap me out of my haze and into a productive and brighter mood. I went with the latter option (clearly) and ended up having a restful yet productive work day. I even snuck in a little nap. Sometimes a little suss is all you need to get you back on the right foot.

You are just killing it lately! I LOVE the combination of the cobalt blue with leopard! Amazing combo, going to have to add this to my must-try list! You look gorgeous, and totally agree, it’s amazing what getting cleaned up & dressed in something pretty can do for your mood! Glad it worked!

You look so gorgeous, like a movie star. I adore your pants. They are such a beautiful, vibrant color. I hate when the alarm doesn’t go off on time!! You always feel off beat when that happens.
Eva
You look stunning! The metalic T goes perfectly with the whole outfit:)

Wow, you really transformed those culottes. I agree sometimes it just takes a nice outfit to brighten up your day.
I’ve just started a blog (not a fashion or style one) and would love to get your input.

kristen k.
you know, hearing about your deliberate efforts toward brightening the day — and how just the right combination of color, texture, and how certain clothes can make us FEEL — is a good thing to read today. i think choosing the bright and the good is half the battle…and how could you not come out on the bright side with an outfit like this? :) thanks for sharing.
