* Jewel Tones for Summer ~ Day to Night Look *


Big bun +  jewel tones    + vintage gold accessories + black and white


What I'm Wearing
* Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent berry silk & mess dress ...worn as a blouse ...seen here
* Vintage Anne Klein skirt, thrifted - but seriously could've come directly out of my Grandma's closet. It actually came with a matching blouse that will be used to create an entirely different outfit most likely in the Fall.
* Victoria's Secret open cardigan in pesto {they're on sale now for $29.50 ...and obvs, very versatile}
* Vintage Napier gold chain and pearl necklace was my grandma's, vintage nude belt with gold buckle clasp, thrifted the same time I scored this vintage seahorse necklace at Salvation army, vintage gold earrings were my grandma's too, gold D&G watch & various gold stacking rings from GILT
* Cynthia Rowley burgundy "Constance" bag ...again, can't get enough of this bag lately, it's just working with most everything right now.
* Tom Ford Anouk cat eye sunglasses
* Boutique 9 nude anklestrap heels

* Hair: Ginormous bun ...created from a ridiculously high pony tail, then swooped and pinned down wherever necessary

Today is officially my first day of vacation from the art gallery I work at 3 days a week and though I'm going to miss drollgirl terribly, I am giddy with joy and excitement . . .no, not for a fabulous trip the husband and I have planned, but for a little relaxation and to just be able to focus on and finish all the things at home I never have time for because of these 3 extra days a week that are spent elsewhere. Yes, soon, I will say goodbye to the part time graphic/web designer position I've held for the last eleven years as blogging has become my full-time job now. And while I could quit now ...and could've actually quit quite some time ago, I am finding it particularly difficult to do so. Maybe because I like the stability of it, maybe because I like money, yes, LA is an expensive place to live and I enjoy nice things but mostly, because I've worked for this art dealer since I was 24 years old . . . and next Wednesday, I'm turning 35. And that's a long time. And quite honestly, I'm finding it very difficult to say goodbye.

But enough of that . . . for now, I'm free . . . and if you're reading this before 10 am, you should know that I am probably in our bed sleeping ...the husband is up so it's just me and LeRoy cuddling now ...because I'm on vacation! {I wore this outfit yesterday}

I love how you used a dress as a top! Multipurposing items from your closet is one of the best styling tips in the world!!

I love the dress to blouse idea! And that bun is great, I wish I could rock that but I have like three hairs :(
Congratulations on the full time blogging. I didn't understand either. Did you quit or are you going to quit soon? Are we going to see more of your daily outfits? I guess we'll figure that out in the next weeks.
Have a great relaxation time ;)

modanista junkie said...

OMG this has got to be my favorite outfit!!! It's fantastic!!! I absolutely love everything about it!!

Yu got that right about LA being an expensive place to live. I agree, it's hard to say goodbye to a job that has practically been a part of your life for a long time. It's seems like you have an awesome work schedule so I say you stay there! :)

Enjoy your time off, and looking forward to birthday photos next week!! :)

p.s. you should definitely submit your outfit to The Wear to go Girls for a chance to be featured Best Look of the Week! http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Wear-to-go-Girls/138631736207424

Hi Maegan,

I love your site. I literally have been following your blog for several years. I first found it when I did a search for Christian Louboutin on google and it brought me to your DIY. You're amazing. Congrats on your success!

Do you know how to DIY for these shoes (if anyone knows how to, it's you) :
