SOFT PALLET

dress :: j.crew factory (pssst, it's on sale!) ; cardigan :: old navy ; flats :: j.crew factory (sold out, see similar here) ; watch :: marc jacobs; polish :: opi let them eat rice cake

I am well aware that neons are making a comeback. but as I went to pull on a brightly colored blue cardi, I paused. it just didn't feel right for this charming little neighborhood. when I was young, I always pictured myself moving back home and setting up fort in one of these adorable little town homes. of course, life doesn't always work out the way we plan. but that didn't stop me from wandering the neighborhood pretending that I lived in the house just around the corner. as for the outfit...the j.crew factory store is sort of my arsenal for dressing impeccably on a medical student's budget. the blush pink cardigan, though not made by j.crew, speaks femininity. the lace frock, a bit of whimsy. and the gold heel on the shoe, a bit of flare. all while the soft pallet conveys elegance in a way that neons just can't express. 

hope you have an amazing tuesday!

love, arielle

  2. Oh, my goodness. I love these pictures. I did the same thing when I lived alone the last year in Florida. I only dared take pictures of my feet then. I treasure those pictures now, because with my disease, my toes don't look like that anymore. HA~~~~ Beautiful Arielle!
