Timeless Black + White

July 6, 2013

Hi friends! I hope you all had a wonderful and safe 4th of July! I'm not required to work on holidays, but I have to make up my sessions if I choose not to, and in the past, I chose to work because I didn't want to deal with make up hours, but recently, I realized it just wasn't worth it. Everyone's out having fun while I'm at work? No thanks. So this year, I got to "sleep in" and enjoy a much needed and relaxing day off at the beach with my SO and his family. And it was worth it.

I've been working 6 day work weeks (Monday to Saturday) for months now, so I'm more than burnt out, which is why I'm on vacation as of 4:00pm yesterday. I have never deserved a break more than I ever have right now. As soon as I was officially off work, I was literally shaking and crying.


Before I left though, I wanted to do a quick outfit post. Fellow WC contributor Michelle has this same crossover top that everyone fell in love with on a previous Instagram post and I miraculously have it as well. That's such an apt word to use because she got hers at a Forever 21 years ago! And by some magical miracle, I found the same top miles and years away in a whole other boutique. It is definitely one of my favorite tops that I'm going to be in love with for years. Linh also recently made a post here about crossover tops and where you can purchase affordable ones!


Top: Local boutique // Pants: American Eagle // Wedges: Target
Necklaces: Forever 21 and local boutique // Watch: Fossil

I'm currently streamlining my closet into more pieces I love, even if it ends up being a very small collection, and this top is definitely one of my most prized. It's such a classic and timeless piece that I'll wear for years to come, barring no accidents!

Do you have any pieces in your closet that you consider to be classic? Or pieces you've been obsessed with lately? Show us in the comments or submit an email!
