White Button Down: The Limited

Pearl Headband: Forever 21

More classic black and white...Sometimes it just works. I do carry a red patent-material purse so the outfit does get a dash of color. I also wore a cobalt blue scarf with my coat for the day for some more color.

My favorite wrap tee again in this picture....I really didn't think it would be able to be layered. Most of the time, thin tees like that look bulky with a thicker layer underneath, but this one had the perfect stretch and layered perfectly I thought! I can't wait until the teal tee arrives at the end of the month!!! (Yea for sample sales!)

Side note--you can probably tell I love my pearl headband. It's a simple cheapy from Forever 21. Well I wore it a couple days ago to work as well and it was a nasty, gross rainy day which makes my ultra straight, fine hair go ultra stringy and limp. I was in the bathroom attempting hair recovery and took the headband out to toss my head upside down to fluff. Well the headband fell off the sink and little pearl beads went rolling everywhere! It takes a great item for me to get down on my hands and knees in the bathroom and pick up the pieces! Luckily a coworker had some crazy glue so while my hair was unrepairable that day, my headband was (after I wiped hand sanitizer all over me of course)!

Side note 2-- I don't own a tripod so I'm limited on surfaces where I can lay my camera to take pictures. This means your new backdrop every day is my Christmas tree!
