Moonrise Kingdom, Revisited

Do you know who Suzy Bishop is?  She's one of the main characters in We Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom.

Now you know who I am talking about, right?!  Well, I thought it would be kind of fun to imagine what she would wear as an adult.

I want to be like Suzy when I grow up.  Oh wait, I am grown up, and she isn't.  So, I guess I want to dress like Suzy when she grows up.  And I'd settle for her wardrobe now, too.

I think both of these looks are very in keeping with Suzy's style, don't you?

Tory Burch Talia Dress, $350

Tory Burch, Perla Dress, $650

I could see her in both of these Tory Burch dresses, lounging around reading or listening to records. And for when she wants to go hang out down by the water, Tory Burch has also come up with the perfect suits that I think adult-Suzy would love.

Well, that will do it for me.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  I plan on going book shopping and getting some drinking done.  Yes, you read that right; I need to catch up on my drinking.  It has been a long week and I deserve a couple of drinks!

Outfit of the Day: Skirt and Tank

Here is a really easy outfit that I put together since it is still so very hot outside, despite the fact that it is mid-September.  When you live in the desert, you know that the desert doesn't give a damn what month it is; it is going to be extremely hot, and then extremely windy, and then extremely cold because it is so extremely windy.

But I digress.  (I do like a tangent!)

I found this skirt at Forever 21 over the summer and fell in love with the color and the print.  I also like that it has a gathered waistband- built in belt!  I bought a different shirt to wear with this skirt, as I was, at the time, thinking ahead for school, but that shirt is long sleeved and it is much too hot for long sleeves right now.

So I decided I needed to pair the skirt with something a little more summery.  This black tank, which has a fun ruffle detail on the front, fit the bill just fine.  Add to that some gold bracelets and some black flats, and you have an instant outfit on your hands.

It has worked well for the weekends and even for a casual Friday work outfit.

Rebecca noted the cut outs on the flats mirror the pattern on the skirt.
(Damn, I'm so good, I don't even realize when I do things like that!)

Apparently, something over there caught my attention.

The shade is what caught my attention.

Apparently I am very happy that we moved to a shady
patch, and I am celebrating by standing like an off-kilter,
perhaps drunken, ballerina.
