I found this silk shirt at the local Goodwill and I had to get it! It's a really pretty ivory color with a perfect one pocket design. I love how it fits so tightly at the wrists but I can also roll it up if I want. When I found the shirt it had these HUGE shoulder pads but luckily they were easy to take out! Silk is such a ladylike material and I thought I'd rough it up a bit with some cut off shorts and heavy necklaces.
shirt Goodwill, shorts old 7FAM jeans I cut up, shoes Fergalicious (ha), necklaces Forever 21
On Thursday night I was babysitting the most adorable 2 year old boy named Jesse! If you follow me on twitter you know how I compared him to a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Jesse is seriously the cutest and has such a fun, playful attitude. Matthew texted me while I was gone and said he was making me a surprise! Of course I start thinking of my favorite desserts. My first guess was s'mores since I LOVE them oh so much..and I was somewhat right! He made me s'more brownies! They were perfectly warm and had a yummy graham cracker crust with perfectly toasted marshmallows on top. Sigh such a sweet boyfriend for surprising me with delicious things!
I hope you all had a relaxing weekend!

ReplyDeletei was at the beach with mike having a bonfire yesterday and SOMEHOW FORGOT STUFF TO MAKE SMORES. am i going crazy? senile? it was shocking. and majorly disappointing.
Oh, you just look so gorgeous! I absolutely love that silk top! I love finding gems at the thrift shops!
ReplyDeleteOk, you have great luck at Goodwill. I drove by one this weekend and thought of you. I think I shall try it out too.

What a great find. And you saw the potential in it which is even better.
ReplyDeleteWhat yummy dessert!! That's a really sweet surprise.
And I'm sure you had fun babysitting a young 'Joseph Gordan Levitt'
what a pretty outfit :). love the juxtaposition of hard & soft and the wood backdrop for the photos. perfect.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a big fan of the blouse with cutoff denim shorts and you look fantastic! I can't believe you got that amazing blouse at Goodwill! I just bought a really similar one at Bloomingdales and now realize I probably paid too much for it. And your necklaces look perfect with it.
