RADically Different

Sometimes I think our own personal style is somewhat of a stretch from what we actually believe it is, or want it to be.  I have this navy silk midi-skirt from J.Crew that I struggled to wear this winter, but I have have been loving it all spring and summer.  See my two totally different outfits for yourself and tell me which you love more!

I wore this just over a week ago to work, a quite "romantic" look with the cream colored crochet top paired up with the navy skirt.  I liked the outfit, and received a lot of compliments, but something about it felt too pretty...

Last weekend I wore this outfit to the Met, where I finally got to check out the Impossible Conversations exhibit {post with illegally taken photos to come...}.  A total departure from the romantic hippie look I had going on with the previous outfit, but I LOVED this.  I felt so comfortable {aside from the scorching heat} and felt like I had totally accomplished making the simple skirt fun and cool.

Obviously one outfit was work appropriate, the other not so much, but what are your thoughts? Which is your favorite?

A Very Rad Week

Last week during a VERY serious re-group at work, a few ladies and I became aware of an upcoming Rodarte sample sale.  The Rodarte sample sale is invite only, so immediately after returning to our desks, we emailed Andy that we wanted in.  Fast forward a week, and we got our invites!  A couple of us headed up to the sample sale after work, and while the selection was definitely picked over, there were still some stunners, but it was the Rodarte for Opening Ceremony "Radarte" tee that I was really gunning for.

With various sizes left, I had my pick and since these pieces rarely go on sale, I went for it and bought the sweatshirt too.

 Another very notable thing happened this week.   On Monday one of my co-workers was feeling MIGHTY generous, and giving away a Prada bag, but not for nothing...the challenge was to guess what month she bought her cat Sophie.  I pondered for a bit, and was debating between November & January, before I finally chose January.

I WAS RIGHT, hence I am the proud new owner of a classic black leather PRADA bag!!  Wow.  What a week!
