Monday Mood-Lifter

I’m never happy about Mondays. Ever. When an unfamiliar face, going to unnamed floor exclaims “Happy Monday!” on the elevator, I cringe. Monday, you rub me the wrong way. But this outfit made Monday feel less cringe-worthy and lifted my mood (by a modicum).

Old Navy’s Boyfriend Skinny Cropped cut of jeans and khakis are perfect for the summer workdays ahead. Currently, my tally of skinny cropped pants hovers around four, with intentions of growing exponentially (especially now that jeans are on sale for $19!). Throw them on with a blazer, flats, and a printed top and you’ve got an instant work ensemble. I tossed in a few bangles and hoop earrings for good measure.

Red Carpet Raves: Met Gala 2013

Last night’s punk-themed Met Gala brought out all the stars and their rendering of punk couture. I found that my faves weren’t the literal translation of punk, but an interesting, personal interpretation. Take a look at Blake Lively’s Gucci Couture dress. I love the drama of the skirt! Rooney Mara captivates in a white, scalloped hem Givenchy number. And while Emmy’s dress may not be classified as punk, her make up and hair bring the edge, for sure! Which were your favorite looks from the Gala’s red carpet?

Honorable Mentions
Let’s not forget about Taylor Swift, Sienna Miller, and Coco Rocha’s ensembles. They made not have made it in my top three, but they definitely deserve honorable mentions.
