Zebra Stripes

Nothing like starting the week off with some animal print! Actually the timing of these photos are a little bit of a farce – I took them a month ago. Atlanta hasn’t really cooled down yet, but if I had take these photos this week I would probably have a cardi jammed in my purse for the coolish mornings/evenings.

H&M dress and belt • Kate Spade purse • Jeffrey Campbell heels • Primark necklace

It’s a shame that Wheatie doesn’t have the same appreciation for black patent and zebra prints as I do – otherwise I’d give him a jazzier collar.

I bought the necklace at Primark when I was visiting Lar last month and am surprised I haven’t worn it much. Before buying it I had been on the hunt for a beaded collar necklace because I could think of a million outfits to wear with it. Of course now that I have one, I can’t quite figure out how to style it.

I love this jersey, zebra dress from H&M. It has an exposed zipper on the back, a cinched waist and a long-ish hemline that is higher in the front than the back.

Another reason why I love this dress:

Someday I’ll live in a house that’s worthy of that wallpaper (you can purchase it here). Until then I’ll just buy affordable dresses with patterns that remind me of it.

I hope you all had a great weekend and have something fun planned for the week. Lar might be MIA for a while since she and Matt just moved apartments and might not have internet for a while. I have to start studying for my microeconomics midterm, which means I’ll be taking lots of study breaks to blog.

I know Lar was so touched by all the sweet words from everyone about her endometriosis. I’m so proud of her for sharing her story and grateful to Diane for spearheading the fundraiser.

Dearest Lar,

I’m so glad you’re done with your move to your new flat. I know you still have a lot of settling in to do, but you’ll make your new place look cozy and gorgeous. Don’t forget to take before photos!

If you make it over to a cafe with wifi this week, make sure to Skype me! xoxo

Love

  4. Ahhh, don’t you just love that dress? I bought if a few months ago for that EXACT reason, I adore the Scalamandré print and want it on everything. It doesn’t hurt that the dress happens to be super comfortable!
