Afterwards, we stopped at Whole Foods where they treated me to tea and cake (thank you, Patience and Sarah!). Shopping outfits are hard for me to choose, because it’s an opportunity to dress up a little more, but I find that if I’m wearing too many layers and accessories, trying things on becomes a real chore. Dresses are also out, because if I wanted to only try on a top, for instance, I would also have to find pants, and vice versa. The Rack was pretty picked over by the time we got there at 2:00pm, so I ended up only trying on a skirt, which was a tiny bit too small. Oh well, now I have money for my boot fund.

Although it looks like a dress, it’s actually a tunic layered over a pencil skirt. I like doing this with fitted tunics because it functions as a dress, but is as versatile as a top and a skirt. The photo on the left is my school outfit, and the one on the right is what I wore for shopping. It warmed up later in the day, so I just took off the jacket and traded my school bag for a handbag.

The tunic and pencil skirt are both from Express, the denim jacket is BCBG, the handbag is Michael Kors, the specs are Chanel, the ring is Kenneth Jay Lane and the shoes are Me Too.

They are a very distinct part of my style, and I am naturally drawn to them whenever I see them in stores. I picked up this skirt recently, and it’s shorter than the rest of my skirts, so it makes me feel a bit daring (yeah, I’m kind of a prude). Normally I would wear a dress or skirt of this length with tights or leggings, but it was humid and felt like 99 degrees here today, so I went with sandals and bare legs.

The skirt and t-shirt are from Express, denim jacket is from Gap, shoes are Ellen Tracy from DSW, and the bracelet is CC Skye.
