black forever 21 leggings

This look is a tad inspired by Alexander Wang.

Rain, rain, rain. It's supposed to be warm and sunny! Oh, well. I always welcome an excuse to sport my favorite khaki trench.

I wore this to play in the woods.

I bought this tunic two years ago for $10, and I've gotten so much use out it. It looks best with black leggings and heels, but I've also paired it with opaque grey tights and ballet flats. I'd like to mix it up with an oversize boyfriend blazer and the perfect red flats (two basics I'm forever searching for).

My own little sanctuary.

Black, white and ocean-blue all over.

Why in the name of summertime am I wearing so many layers? In August? Because it's New England, baby, and the weather can masquerade as all four seasons in a single day (you may laugh, but I've seen it happen!). I was surprised when this day went from warm with a cool breeze to freezing cold and rain to hot and sunny, but then it's Boston-- nothing should surprise me anymore.

The Back Bay is easily my favorite Boston neighborhood. I just love the sunflower garden growing amidst all the brick. :)
