Melissa Sonico necklace

69 basketball shirt | Melissa Sonico necklace | Elizabeth Suzann knot bag | COS wood heel sandals

If I had the closet of my dreams I’d be wearing these beautiful things on a dinner date with David to celebrate my birthday this Friday. I’m excited about turning 28 (one year closer to 30, which for some reason I’m really looking forward to) even if the weather is likely to be gloomy and wet. Time spent with David is my biggest wish of all. There’s something very special about having someone else plan a celebration for you, big or small, and I quite like the idea of being surprised for once. I feel so loved.

Good Bones // Pretty Basic

For the past five or six years I’ve been drawn to dressing simply. Gone are the cringe worthy days of pink shirts and bright yellow eyeshadow–hello, high school–or the bizarre vintage patterns and combinations I experimented with in college. Neutral colors and subtle patterns speak to me in a way that loud or colorful garments don’t anymore. I do love a good statement piece, but that’s not what I usually want to spend my money on. I’ve often toyed with the idea of developing a uniform, but I never take the plunge. Oddly it’s hard to let go even though having too many options is overwhelming to me. This uniform would likely consist of nothing but boxy, asymmetrical silhouettes–my favorite. Basics can make a statement by themselves and I love that. Here’s what’s on my wish list right now.
