look book: bright eyes

April 4, 2012

This striped dress is one of my favorites! The colors perfectly contrast and matching it with anything in my closet is ridiculously easy. Sometimes I wish I had a blazer in every color because it's really the easiest addition to make an outfit instantly work-appropriate or more professional. Also you can't beat them with jeans and a plain t-shirt.

Tomorrow night I'm going to see The Hunger Games after work and I can't wait! I finally got around to reading the book when I went to Chicago last week and I fell in love. Have any of you seen it/read it? What did you think?

  24. I love the dress! I have the similar one from Ruche but mine's long. I never thought to put a blazer over it but that's an amazing idea!

  25. I totally love the look but I am drawn to your makeup today for some reason. You did such a great job on balancing the tones and letting the clothes shine while having neutral make up. Where is that lipstick from?!

    Your hair is getting super long too!

  31. im the same way about blazers.. i want one in every color!

    i basically live in jeans and a tee, so blazers and hats and jewelry are things i need to start investing in (:

  36. I am a big Hunger Games fan. I love those books so much!

    I saw the midnight showing of the movie, and it doesn't disappoint. Just don't expect everything to be the same as the book-because they did change some things up a bit.
