The Sophisticate

Edit









Hi beauties!  I have to tell you that I adore this top. It's sublime. It's heavy (meaning, it feels substantial) and it hangs far enough below your bum that those brave souls in the crowd could pair it with some strappy sandals and really stop traffic! For me (read: kind of prudey),  I really like this look here for evening type events.  I have it with leather leggings (and heels) but you could expand this look and add some long necklaces, maybe more bracelets, and high heeled sandals.  I like feeling sophisticated when I am in casual evening attire (rather than too exposed or uncomfortable, you know?) and this is great.  I have never really been an H&M shopper but recently, I went to the South Coast store and they have a higher-end line and the pieces are on trend and soo reasonable.   I think this was $50. Seriously a great deal.  I am all about investing (piles of 😉) money in handbags and shoes, maybe a great watch, a trench, etc but trends?  I just can't justify it (I have a child I would like to send to law school (if she wants to go!) someday-- I need to draw the line somewhere!!)   I am thinking of trying this shirt out with a white button up underneath and a pencil skirt and maybe again with a white t shirt and jean cut offs. We will see how those all work out.   What is your most versatile piece?  What timeless pieces do you love?  Happy day everyone! Hope your week is just wonderful- xo Michelle

Denim + Denim













For the most part, we want #GDSL to showcase anything and everything that appeals to our lives and the many hats we wear- attorneys, mommies, yogis, runners, friends, daughters, wives and everything in between.  A big chunk of my daily life is in the office so professional-attire will be a focus for me but every now and then, we may throw a cute casual outfit here on the blog. And guess what? Today is one of those days!  

What do you do with left over Saturday night hair and an early Sunday morning park play date (besides heavily caffeinate)?   You throw on a cute flower headband (I am bananas for big flowers--and feathers, as long as we are on the topic!), jean shorts and a loose, lightweight button down.  I also got to use my new Stella and Dot clutch, which gives this outfit (and any outfit I bet) a nice little pop of color.   Perfect!  Happy day sweet reader! Hope your day is wonderful and thank you so much for stopping by! Xo Michelle
