If you happen to be keeping up with the things I've acquired this year over on Operation Simplicity, you know that this Ace and Jig v-neck tee is a recent purchase. I'm historically bad about buying something and then letting it hang in my closet a looong time before I actually wear it. It's not a good thing, as I think it indicates that I tend to buy things I'm on the fence about...that I have to marinate on a bit if you will.
My (unscientific) theory is if you buy something you truly love, you want to wear it stat... And in the case of this top, that's what I did. I bought it when Christine and I were setting up for the pop-up shop a couple of weeks ago, and then I wore it that very night to some FNO events. Oh and I've worn it twice since then, so I'm feeling pretty sartorially virtuous on this one.
I love it when that happens.
The Details:
- Top -- Ace and Jig
- Jeans -- Banana Republic
- Necklace -- Vintage
- Handbag -- Derek Lam
- Shoes -- Old Navy

Yay, thanks for doing this one. Btw, what size did you go with?
cute! I feel the same way about wearing the new outfit ASAP. I am a bit like a five year old & will wear new shoes out the store (nine times out of ten).

Heather -- you're welcome ;-) I went with a medium...it's a little large on me, but I wanted the longer length.
I'm still bummed that I missed out on those tops when my size was in stock. Boo. It looks great on you, and I love that necklace!
love that necklace with your top. (and dying a bit over your bag...)
let me know if you need me to take it off your hands in the name of operation simplicity. =)
I love this look...but I may be biased because it's totally my style. ;) That necklace is killer!
ummm....can we talk about that bag? MAYjor!! (sorry - have been watching too much Rachel Zoe)
i love your outfit!! those jeans are way cute as well as that awesome necklace!!!

that necklace is fantastic!
Love the flow of that top, and LOVE that necklace! Gorgeous
The top is gorgeous! And yeah, I agree with you, you should want to wear new purchases immediately, which is one of the reasons I try never to buy out of season, if it sits around too long I may never develop a close relationship with it, weird as that sounds. I also came to another shopping realization I wrote about here:
