I'm a bit of a creature of habit when it comes to outfit construction. My childhood dream was to go to a private all-girls school, not for the promise of a top-notch education but because I could wear a uniform. Bliss.
I do try; but not wearing the same thing every day takes a concerted effort, and when I just can't pull it off I tend to rely on "mixing-up" my accessories to create the illusion of change (even if I've actually been wearing the same black shirt or dress, or pants for three days running...thus my love of a good necklace).
But lately I've sort of flipped my strategy a bit and instead of mixing up the accessories, I've been mixing up the clothes (!) and keeping the extras consistent. (First the red lipstick, now this...I'm livin' la vida loca here friends). This week's outfits (a twofer!) are an example of my daring new approach...or they're just evidence of my immense fondness for the turquoise necklace and slouchy hobo bag. You decide. ;-)
p.s. -- I'm giving you a glimpse of the "double denim".

Very cute, love them both, though I'm partial to the first look on you. Hot stuff! Both pairs of shoes are awesome, and those Marc Jacobs ones are making me pretty jealous right about now...

Too funny! I swam with so many girls from Ursuline and Hockaday and wanted to beg my parents to send me, too! For the uniforms, of course.
love, love the double denim look and w/ the turquoise, perfection.
The double denim is so much cuter than I would've imagined. Also, you should totally show your legs more! You were made for dresses!
you have the best necklaces. wouldn't have looked at this piece twice if i hadn't seen you wearing it. love these outfits.
ps- hi!

Love them both but especially your Texas tuxedo!! ;)
Darling, that necklace is killing me!!
Gorgeous!! Love that necklace too.
