I wore this outfit to work a couple of weeks ago, then met up with for dinner later that night with Alex. I love the color of this pencil skirt that I picked up in a little vintage shop here in the East Village. For my first time wearing it, I decided to pair it with my first StyleMint purchase, the striped Broadway tee in blue. And if I wasn’t wearing enough blue already, I had to add this pretty necklace from Shabby Apple that I won in a giveaway on Laura‘s blog. Blue is my favorite color and I guess I just couldn’t get enough of cobalt blue in this outfit :) Also, how cool is the detail on the back of Alex’s coat?
Did you guys have a good weekend? I just spent most of my time relaxing and taking care of a few things around the house. I also just finished up the Hunger Games trilogy and I cannot wait for the movie to come out! It’s going to be so entertaining! Since I don’t have a TV, I didn’t watch the Oscars, but I did follow along with the fug girls as they live-blogged the event- I always find their commentary so funny!
Tell me: Did you watch the Oscars? Who was your best-dressed pick of the night? Also, what do we think of the mini-layout change I made?

I’m mixing up the genres this month because I feel like I burned out on holiday romances last year 😅 Have you read any of these?

Your blog looks great! I am loving this blue skirt on you and that coat is fabulous :)
This is such a great outfit! And the detail on the back of the coat is awesome. I feel like we had pretty much the same best dressed picks based on our twitter conversation last night. Jessica Chastain and Gwyneth Paltrow were amazing.

Nnenna, I really love how you styled that cameo necklace! I’m glad you won it! It looks really great in this outfit :) I, too, can’t wait for the Hunger Games movie– but mostly because I heart Jennifer Lawrence!

Love your stripes! I keep waiting to not like stripes anymore…but until then, I stocked up on a ton of striped t’s from H&M this weekend. Cheap and chic!
absolutely loving the color of your skirt. It looks wonderful on you. I havent read the Hunger Games yet but as soon as I finish book 5 of game of thrones, I plan to start it.
Haha, we’re opposites! I read Books 1-4 of Game of Thrones, took a break to read the Hunger Games trilogy, and now I’m back to GOT :)
You look great in cobalt blue! :) Great nighttime photos as well–there’s cobalt blue in the background as well. :)
Beautiful photos and BEAUTIFUL you!! :) Love everything about them!! And I’m so happy you finished the Hunger Games series…it’s the best. I am SUPER excited for the movie, too! YAY! Hope you have a lovely week! xo
Aww, you are so sweet Ashley, thank you! :)
Even the sky is blue! I love the blue hour. I’m glad I have you as a guinea pig for posing direction. I promise not to do any more of those “take your leg… and umm… oh sorry, yeah do something with it”.
Haha, you can direct me however you want to- I need more practice! I’m just grateful I have you to take my pics :D
Love these pictures of you. Your smile is so sweet! I’m really into blue these days so I think your skirt looks fabulous on you. Very cute banner on your blog too. Congrats!
great bag!!

Fantastic skirt – and I love how the color of the sky matches.
oooh, I love that bag! It’s so structured and cool.
that is a really cute outfit!
You really can’t have enough blue, or stripes.
And these photos came out so well for night time shots.
Love Alex’s coat too!
So sad we didn’t get to meet up! We just couldn’t manage the time properly. Love the cobalt skirt!
Awww, me too! Sometime soon for sure! Thank you Smita :)
