Office Staples

coach bag circa 1990}

I continue on my neutral tones with texture binge with this outfit and it's been rather a lifesaving mixture. When in doubt, just throw together a few staple neutrals in your closet (try to go beyond black) and add in different textures. I've worn the romper before for Thanksgiving here, but I changed up the palette a bit and I quite like it. A simple staple office look; appropriate yet, young and quirky.

I also realize now that I wore a lot of Italian things in my look today and things that belonged to my mom. She worked in Italy in her 20's and the necklace she received as a gift. The scarf says made in Italy on the tag, and it's also a recent purchase of my mom's that she gave me, and the blazer, too! How stylish is my mom? I miss her. Shout out to our moms! Random but always necessary to remember.

And finally, the lovely Chelsea of Tea Talk featured me in an interview on her blog today, so special thanks to Chelsea and stop by her blog to check it out!
