look book: a touch of teal

September 7, 2012

It's still a little too warm to layer but a longer, breezy skirt and a short sleeve blouse make for a good transitional outfit. I've always been drawn to more feminine and classic looks and I love that skirts that fall below the knees can still be attractive.
top Ruche, skirt c/o Windsor {similar}, necklace Ruche {old}, sunglasses Karen Walker, watch Michael Kors, purse Heather Belle, shoes Betsey Johnson, lipstick MAC Chatterbox

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month so I'm wearing teal to help raise awareness about this deadly disease that affects thousands of women. Every year since I was in high school I've volunteered for the Ovarian Cancer Coalition's annual walk/run that raises money for ovarian cancer research and education. There currently isn't an early detection test so being aware of the symptoms and possible signs is imperative. If anyone in LA is interested, come out Sunday to show your support! You can find more information about here and read more about Ovarian Cancer here

Have a great weekend everyone!

  17. I looove longer skirts in fall, too. with tights and boots in winter, sometimes a vintage skirt is warmer than just jeans

  22. This dress is perfection. I love-love-luurve polka dots and for some reason they feel so more sophisticated rather than playful when they're bigger like this. Anyway, you look fab!

  23. First, I'm crazy-in-love with this look. It's so ladylike. And I love that your teal top helps to raise awareness for a good cause! Brilliant, Mara.
