I caught a nasty bug this week and have been feeling extra sluggish. It’s hard to want to do anything when you feel so crummy but just like everyone else I have responsibilities – including getting myself dressed. Regardless of my state I always try and make an effort to get ready in the morning. This passed week I’ve noticed how my outfits have had a real menswear vibe to them. I think I’m naturally drawn to the oversized yet tailored pieces and the crisp sophistication that comes with them – especially when I’m not feeling so hot!






omg!So beautiful outfit.Love the lace with this cardigan !! xxx
It’s like the sickness is spreading around the blogosphere! Let’s get it out of our systems before spring hits.
I loveee those shorts and it’s such a great mix of boyish and girly. Have a great weekend! <3
