Look Book: Sigh No More

Friday morning I had one, hour-long class. It was over in a blink, and I was free. I met up with a friend from high school (was that only three years ago?) for a coffee and a catch up. We had a lovely chat, and ended up going to Forever XXI afterwards.

I am happy to announce that I was able to purchase the Faceted Geo Nugget Necklace that I mentioned in this post. I was also able to pick one up for my sister, who called to tell me how much she loved the necklace. I will try to wear it soon to showcase it! It’s lovely.

The basic top that I am wearing is one that I bought almost a year ago (and I am sad to say that Smart Set doesn’t appear to be making any new ones for Fall 2012). It is extremely handy as it is reversible. I wear the lower side on the back – I am extremely uncomfortable about cleavage. It has been my go-to shirt over the last year, and I am sad to say I think it is reaching the end of its life. I recently purchased this basic top from H&M to replace it, but I will definitely miss the subtle allure of the lower back. Smart Set also sold the reversible top in other colours most notable a black and white striped one that I had to throw away last month because the colours started bleeding around the under-arms. That was a sad day. Who knew a striped top could be so easily worn!

Not picturing how it would like? Take a look at this and this.

Outfit details:

Basic top – Smart Set
Skirt – American Eagle
Jacket – Forever XXI
Earrings – Shop in Athens, Greece
Short Necklace – H&M
Long Necklace – Eclectic Eccentricity

Shoes – BCBG
Bag – Walmart

I am a little embarrassed that my school bag is from Walmart, I can honestly say I did not expect it to last this long. I bought it two years ago when I first had an office job to carry my files. The bag is surprisingly sturdy, simple, and cute – it’s also very versatile.

Title: Sigh No More by Mumford & Sons.

P.S. We chose this title because while editing and arranging the photos for this outfit, we realized how much I sigh. It’s a little ridiculous.

BCBG Max Azria

One of my all time favorite stores is BCBG Max Azria. It is one of those stores that has really lovely clothing that would be a great addition to any wardrobe. When I pass a BCBG, I always have to go in and see what they have.

It was at BCBG that I bought my prom dress. I never regretted the dress I chose, despite how different it was from all the others. It’s was a dark blue top with applique flowers, with a white silk tulip skirt.

Now, something I really love about their website is, like BHLDN (which I mentioned here), they have a quiz. For BCBG it’s the Gift Giver’s Personality Test to help you find your style. Questions such as, “On a weekend afternoon you can be found…” and “It’s your last night on holiday, you decide to…” The personalities are Voice of Reason, Large & In Charge, Charm Schooled, Wild Card, and Soul Sister. What was I? Voice of Reason.
