What I'm Wearing
* Leyendecker dress ...yes I've been wearing a ton Leyendecker pieces lately ...I got a box full for my birthday ;)
* Rose necklace DIY worn as a belt ...the colors were just a perfect match to not wear it as a belt! Click Here for the DIY
* Vintage brass & rhinestone paisley earrings
* Jessica Simpson patent peep toe bow pumps
* Burberry Wallet
* Tom Ford cat eye sunglasses
* Hair: Rope braids hair tutorial

~My husband must have told me I looked pretty 100 times while wearing this ;) It's definitely a man-friendly look.

~I maybe love my DIY necklace even better as a belt.

~ My vacation is officially over. I go back to work tomorrow ...I'm torn.. I want to sleep in but excited to have a schedule and see drollgirl again. Fearing crankiness tomorrow morning though ...especially if there's traffic ..but since it's Summer and I think school is out, I may be in luck!

Sadie's Momma said...

maegan, you're just glowing. this color is fabulous with your skin and I ADORE your hair. it would be a really great go-to look while I'm trying not to use heat tools on my hair this summer. as always, you're stunning and so inspirational. I long to live on the west coast and be your neighbor so we can DIY, garden, cook, decorate, and jabber. :)
