Two crosses, cause lately, it feels like one isn’t quite enough. Remember what I wrote about double entendres. That’s my anecdote for the day. I promise regular programming will resume shortly.
Oh, and Prêt à Porter P, this outfit is dedicated to you. Because there is method to our madness.
*WVW = What V Wore
NY & Co. cardigan, Ann Taylor cami, Gucci belt, Zac Posen for Target skirt.
Vintage gold crosses, Tory Burch leather bracelet, BCBG pumps.

Killer skirt! Loving the rouched zip detail.
Nothing beats all black for ultra chic.
Love how you’ve accessorized this too, especially the cross pendants…I’m on the hunt for one at the moment.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend xo

Thank you for your comments, ladies!
Eeek! I always go crazy for an all black look and you sure know how to wear it. I love the zipper detail on the skirt. I’ve been looking for something like this for ages but I only ever seem to find zipper skirts that are tight and hoochie mama short. I want all of your accessories from this look and I’m digging the autumn hue on your nails. Happy Monday!! xx

Sarah, thank you!
My hair secret: Biotin supplements, single-process color (and I try to never re-color hair that has been colored. In other words, root touch-ups only). I use Pantene shampoo and conditioner and have for years. It’s better than any high-end products I’ve tried. I wash about three times a week, and just rinse and put conditioner only on the ends in between. If I’m going to the pool, I do not go under water or get my hair wet. Periodically, I slather the ends with Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Styling Oil, braid it, and sleep on it. I also do that before heading to the pool when possible.
I occasionally use a waving iron, but outside of a wee bit of blow-drying, I rarely use irons, curlers, or other heat-based styling tools.

At any rate, glad you’re going outside your comfort zone. It’s good for you.

Zing me with a double endtrendre, eh? Well you look so sleek and fetching, all crosses, double and redoubled are forgiven. It’s quality over quantity, so whenever you post, it will be well worth the wait.
