independence is addictive.


United Colors of Benetton bell sleeved top | F21 distressed hot shorts | Jeffrey Campbell 99 Tie leather wedges | F21 zebra print scarf

As I type, I have almost completed my packing, as we leave for L.A. tomorrow. So I will be keeping this post short and sweet. There was a day of relief from the humid sun this week, so I decided to take out my bell sleeved top one last time before returning it to the dark caverns of my closet. Pink shorts have been all the rage lately. I am quite an ardent fan of the black and pink combination. Anything paired with black, really.  And I have become quite fond of the striped horse, as I picked up this scarf at the store the other day. I have my sights set on a zebra cropped top, which I am waiting until I empty my entire wallet in L.A. to come to a decision whether or not to get it. Of course, the weather was too sweltering to wear a scarf without garnering a few curious glances from the public eye, so I ended up making it useful as a belt. 

Alas, my suitcase is calling me. I must get back to my vacation duties. I will keep you posted on my L.A. adventures! And to my stateside readers, have a lovely and fun Independence Day weekend!

  5. Absolutely love the bell sleeve top! The jeans and lace-up wedges are lovely too. The zebra print scarf (used as a belt) is a lovely touch to go along with the rest of the outfit.

  104. The bell sleeve top is totally fabulous. When wearing the zebra-print scarf as a belt with these short shorts, the look is cute and casual. I probably would have went with some peep-toe platform pumps, but these lace-up wedges are very nice to accompany this look. Fabulous, Jamie! Much love to you for this look!
