Meh, today was one of those days where my hair decided that no amount of flat ironing, fist shaking, or expletive shouting (which is really not that profane, seeing as how my favorite words to yell are 'FOODLE!' and 'BLIMEY!') would tame it. Ah well. Anyway, here's my inaugural outfit of the day!

top:
Marc Jacobs silk and cotton blouse
J.Crew ringspun cotton cardigan in navy

etc:
Forever 21 white flower ring
J.Crew gold faceted bangle
J.Crew patent Jolie flats in stone
Monocle necklace from a friend
