BUTTONED UP BLUE

What a way to kick off the week -- feeling sick. I've been less than 100% since last night when my immune system decided that it was going to take an extended leave of absence. Thanks, white blood cells. It's not like I need my health to function like a normal human being or anything.

Hopefully, my body gets it together soon. Or else... *angryfistshake*

type designer cardigan, modcloth [x]
cotton double serge pencil skirt, j.crew [x-ish]
herringbone tights, j.crew
studded belt, j.crew
kinnetic flats, steve madden
sunburst ring, target
gold bangle, kate spade



I know several of you asked about this lovely cardigan from last Friday's post, so here it is! I've included a link to it in the outfit details as well. As you can see, it has a cute dotted pattern, "pearl" buttons, 3/4 length sleeves, and a little lace collar, which you can see better here. I had been looking for a quirky little cardigan for an upcoming blog feature I've been planning, and this Modcloth number jumped out at me right away. I hesitated on paying full price for it, but I went ahead and took the plunge after realizing that my thriftiness last month resulted in me having some extra funds for shopping. Responsible spending? I am all for it.

    I love the shades of blue in your ensemble (nail polish included). The cardigan is so well detailed, very designer.

    Responsible spending? I'm all for it too! But after seeing this killa cardi on you, I'm so tempted to act out on some UN-responsible spending, lol. Amy, you're bad for my wallet :P

    Amy you look so classy in your pencil skirt and this adorable cardi!! I'm sorry you feel bad. We had a problem this weekend that resulted in an ER visit - haven't had one of those in about 8 years! ugh!

    You look soooo good in this skirt Amy! Super flattering, and the color is pretty swoonworthy. And I am so in love with that cardigan! I have another sweater by that brand (Darling) and they are both so dainty and sweet.
    Hope you feel better soon! =)

    Feel better soon, Amy! I love all the shade of blue, and the pop from that gold bangle. You look fantastic even if you don't feel it. I also adore the coats of polish on your nails.

    I love this whole look, Amy. I agree with Anjali that the color of the skirt is "swoonworthy." I'll be eying that cardigan for further pricing developments...

    Aww, Amy, feeling sick is not a nice feeling at all. I hope you get better soon.
    I LOVE that cardi, the lace collar is so pretty. How do you manage to wear the cardi so seamless, whenever I wear one, there are creases and folds everywhere :-)

    Oooooh, you look so classy and chic! I love this outfit. This cardigan is adorable, I was especially admiring the buttons when you wore it last Friday. And the pencil skirt makes you look so tall! I hope you're feeling better today :)

    GAH I die for this cardi- I'm pretty sure I needed a XS but since those were sold out, I had to buy a S instead...wonder if it'll fit...Did you take your regular size in this?
