Dress: Betsy Johnson, Jacket: Ann Taylor, Heels: Zara, Bag: Coach

This weekend we headed up to Napa.  By far, our favorite place to visit in California.  Decided to match the greenery with my Betsy Johnson dress.  The silver metallic shoes seemed to go perfectly with the dress. I've been waiting for the right moment to wear the shoes. Although we all know that metallic looks great with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a tee.

As you can see with my natural lipstick (aka red wine), we had a great time up in Napa.  Hopefully we'll make it up to wine country a few more times before the big move. 

diy jeans with pearls

 

This DIY was inspired by 7 For All Mankind Denim Jacket with Pearls.  I've seen a few bloggers with similar pieces, so I thought I'd fix up my favorite pair of citizens and see how they turned out! This project only took 10 minutes to complete.  It's a great way to make a plain pair of jeans a little more dainty. 

Material

- jeans

- plastic 5mm pearls (100 ct)

- Gem-Tac

Step 1- get your favorite pair of jeans, pearls, and Gem Tac

Step 2- put small drops of glue on the pants

Step 3- place drops of glue on pants, more pearls at top and fewer at bottom. Wait 24 hours to dry and they are ready to wear! The glue is really strong.

This week I pulled out all my spring/summer clothes! Several things I forgot I owned.  Living in SF, space is vaulable and my heavy coats were taking up a lot of real estate in my household.  The coats got packed away and pulled out all the bright colors! Yippie!

Today's outfit wasn't pulled from boxes, but I got the skirt and shirt from TJ Maxx.  One of my favorite stores.  You can typically find me there on my lunch break.  I loooove getting a good bargain and I love looking at the new trends for the season.  TJ Maxx does a great job keeping up on trends.  If you have a few extra bucks burning a whole in your pocket, head over to TJ Maxx and pick up a right new skirt for summer!
