I really wanted to play along with the sheer shirt trend this summer. But every time I stood in the closet wearing my sheer, colorblocked, high-low racerback tank, Gwyneth gave me the “Mommy, you are way too old to wear that out of the apartment” look from her perch on the end of the bed. She was right, and the tank went back.
Then we found this top from ASOS. With a blazer, it’s prim, proper and perfect for daytime…
Shopping Guide:
1. Cat Eye Sunglasses from Old Navy (old, but similar style at Urban Outfitters)

5. Balenciaga Classic First Tote from Barney’s
6. Pixie Pant from J. Crew
7. Charles David Suede Platform Heels (old, but similar style at Neiman Marcus Last Call)
Then when it’s appropriate (and if you have to ask, it’s not), take off the blazer for a little game of peek-a-boo.

i love those pumps! it is surprisingly difficult to find a great looking black suede pump, but i love the lines of these…and of course they are long gone! i love the multiple personalities of the asos top, i mean, who doesn’t like a little party in the back?
They’re sold out?!? Oh no! Try these two options!

I have a necklace from H&M that is just like the JCrew one you wore above. I love it and wear it all the time! P.S. I love the feather trim you added to your blazer in a previous post. You ingenuity never ceases to amaze me!
Love a good H&M find! And thank you for the sweet words on the blazer! Such a compliment from you!

That top is gorgeous! I can’t believe how dirt cheap it is, and almost all sizes are still there.
I’ve been wondering how you take your pictures… self-timer, or a friend, or is Gwyneth more talented than we realize? I love the rooftop shots.
Thanks, Matilda! ASOS is the BEST place to find unique pieces on a budget! And they have free shipping both ways!
As for the pictures…yes, this is a one-woman operation with a tripod and remote control! And it’s the reason why little G isn’t in most of the outfit posts. Getting the camera set up, getting Gwyneth to stop pulling on the leash / eating rocks and keeping my eyes open for the photos is not easy! Nearly impossible to get a good outfit pic! But we’ll keep trying!

Love the black and pink!! Love love love love the B bag in pink!!
Thanks, Mree! We’ve loved the Balenciaga tote forever! So when we saw it in pink, we just had to pull the trigger!

HA! Thanks, Natalie!
