Swinging Sixties

Anyone who knows me knows that I love the 50s and 60s.  Not only for the fashion but for the music and sentiment of that time.  For this reason, I am beyond ecstatic that the 60s are big in fashion for this fall.  I thought I would get a head start with this cute little number for summer.  I just love pairing flats with shift dresses.  The look is so charming to me.

I absolutely love the vibrant color of this orange top.  It's just so happy, summer-y, and fresh!  I also like neon, but just subtle touches of it, so the fact that only the embroidered design is neon is perfect!  Wearing a lot of color isn't something that comes naturally to me (I tend to gravitate towards black and denim!) so this is me stepping out of my comfort zone (:  I'm also really diggin' separates lately overall.  Hope you all have a peaceful and happy weekend!  < 3 J

Today I went and had a mani & pedi with mi madre and then had a late (very late) brunch with one of my childhood besties.  It's always lovely catching up with her - she is SUCH a sweetheart.  We are in the midst of planning a meetup with all of our childhood besties and I am SO looking forward to it.  It's been one of those things where you say that you are going to do it and keep SAYING that but no one gets around to actually planning and committing.  In 2014 I'm determined to keep plans, be a better friend, family member, and person overall.  It takes a lot of work and conscious effort to change habits, but I like challenges and having things to work towards.  I wish you all a happy, healthy, and productive week ahead.  Lots of Love, J
