recent acquisitions

i went to uvillage this weekend for more than just running errands. i browsed and it felt so good! anthropologie was a highlight, as always, and it was hard not to indulge.

the whole boyfriend trend is just now starting to gel with me. i still don’t completely approve but what can i say when i not only picked out a boyfriend blazer (which i liked mostly because it looks like one of The Boyfriend’s actual blazers- his is heather grey fleece though) but a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans too? oy!

i probably won’t pair both boyfriend pieces together but i definitely will break up the oversized lines of the blazer with ruffles (of course). witness the ultimately girly top- pink and tulle and layers upon layers of ruffles! on that tip, i also spied a button down with a new twist on ruffles- instead of flouncy collars, cuffs, or embellished bibs- this top has a coat tail hem that’s lined with, you guessed it, ruffles. love!

there were also some cute lounge wear options, which is kind of a misnomer because the chemises, while thin, are totally wearable out and about. and the saturday/sunday french terry cardigan? totally clever with its faux tie fastenings (well, they’re real but there are actually buttons that keep it together).
