The last outfit that I took photos of while I was in Japan last month. (Sorry…backtracking a little here…)
We went out for lunch with some of Hub’s family friends, and met their new baby.
I layered a couple vintage rhinestone necklaces (bought off Ebay and Etsy) over each other, snapped in my super-long curly extensions, and after putting on my Miss Selfridge bird-printed dress decided it was way too short to be even slightly appropriate as is, so layered my DIY sheer maxiskirt over it.
Trying to look nonchalant in photos always has me looking slightly confused.;-)
I fell in love with this day planner that I spied at the bookstore; it’s soft, bright neon silicone cover reminded me of Lego’s, and the extra-cool thing is that you can reposition the small colored rectangles wherever you like. I haven’t used a day planner for ages – this is the perfect excuse to get back into it.
I can’t believe August is almost halfway over! I’ve felt like this summer has just flown by…perhaps aided by the fact that the only hot, sticky, summery weather I experienced was in Tokyo…? Who is ready for Fall to start?!

Cute outfit, and that day planner is awesome. I don’t use a dayplanner, but would have definitely bought one just because I love the lego look and the colors in it. What a find!

I love the addition of that sheer maxi skirt! It looks so elegant and unique. What a great touch 🙂
Hi Carly, I’m back 😉
I’ve decided I need your day planner!!! LOL Even posted about it. Thanks for the heads up. Now, maybe I’ll get organized if I purchase a pretty day planner like that?! Just can’t decide which color to buy.

I love this skirt! Is it just a length of sheer material hemmed over elastic? Excuse me while I look through the DIY archives…
love that sheer skirt idea over a dress!!
Love that sheer skirt over a dress! I had thought of putting a sheer skirt over another skirt, but over a dress it seems to work better-the whole pattern of the dress ties it together.
