What I Wore: 7.13.11

Ahhh, finally.... weather where I can wear stuff I want! I don't really pack my suitcase with purpose, so it is always interesting to see what I end up with wearing on vacations. Plus, when I'm back home I feel more creative and free to wear things I might not wear in PA, not sure why. I guess I just feel more inspired and comfortable? Yesterday, I wanted to experiment with how a floral print shirt would look with a tie-dyed scarf... and surprisingly, I don't think it looked awful!

enjoy this next one.. just for you...

 I'm too sexy for my high waisted pants....

Top: Forever 21

Pants: Madewell

Scarf: Lux+Trip

Shoes: Nine West

Lip: Stila Lip Glaze "Cherry Pie"
