Chilly day today. What’s going on with the weather lately? It’s JUNE for crying outloud!

white cut-out long sleeve t-shirt: Diesel

brown shimmer scarf: Urban Outfitters

animal print blazer: Max Mara

pink layered chiffon and silk skirt: BCBGMAXAZRIA

pink/red bow slingbacks: Lela Rose for Payless

paddington purse (not pictured): Chloe

Here’s a close-up of the Lela Rose for Payless slingbacks:

I absolutely LOVE the over-sized bow on these slingbacks! Lela Rose has some really cute styles for their Payless collection. They’re probably my favorite designer for the Payless designer line (I also like Abaete for Payless too). I usually shy away from cheap shoes, especially those made by Payless, Target, Walmart because they are so uncomfortable. Don’t get me wrong; I love clothing and accessories from Walmart, etc. (esp. white tanks!) but shoes are almost always a NO because of the material they use…. it’s always coarse, hard, and there’s no way to “break them in.” This seems to be the trouble with the Abaete for Payless shoes. I bought a pair a few years ago… and they’re still tough to wear (and they’re flats)!

I’m very impressed with these Lela Rose slingbacks though; they’re wide enough to fit my big feet, and there is no cramping or skin irritation. I think Payless has upped their quality! Good to know, in this economy.

The weather’s been a hit or miss lately… it’s either pouring rain or cloudless sunshine all day! The one thing I hate about Bay Area weather is that unlike other cities, you can’t look out the window in the morning and know the weather for the entire day. Here it could be 38 degrees in the morning when you wake up, but then turn into 80 degrees by afternoon! How annoying is that when you’re trying to decide what to wear to work in the morning! I usually just try to layer clothing so I can peel them off as the day goes on.

I just realized that my necklaces I bought in Japan match the color of my button-down shirt!

Shirt: Banana Republic

Sweater: Zara

Necklace: unbranded (bought in Japan)

Pants: Forever 21

Shoes: Aldo

Purse: Chloe

These Forever 21 pants are actually one of my favorites. They are the only pair of F21 pants I have… maybe I should check them out more. I love how they are low-rise and tight in all the right areas For some reason I never think of F21 when I think of “work clothes” though, maybe that’s why almost all my non-jeans pants are from BR!

On another note, I need to learn how to use the dBF’s camera… my iPhone camera sucks at taking pictures! You can’t even see that my pants are actually pin-striped…
