Bringing Beyoncé Back

Bringing Beyoncé back from the depths of my closet, circa 2006 or 2007, that is.  And it was the more junior Dereón line from the House of Dereón I'm referring to.  Yes. This dress I claimed from a Dillard's clearance rack is all kinds of crazy patterns and colors that are not in my regular shopping mental state.  But it's very colorful and I like the colors individually, and I bought it on a whim. Since I'm clearing out items from my wardrobe that haven't see the light of day in a bit, I've found this one to be a keeper (unlike this one that is gone, gone, gone, baby).  I have new white sandals and an old cardigan and even my gold horn necklace.  It all says summer, though a bit fancier than usual for me.

Smokey Black LOFT Blouse

Smokey Black LOFT Blouse on today- or is it navy-ish?  I know it's not the blackest black, but it goes well with black/white/black in my ensemble.  Sometimes I look at the sleeves and think navy. Hrm.  The sun is shining today and luckily this blouse is breezy so even though it's dark in the summer I shouldn't get too sweaty.  My black gladiators with gold studs and my other usual gold accessorizing favorites are on today.  Plus, I wore a headband because: bad hair day.  And bad hair days when it's this short are a conundrum for me.  Also, bad hair day= Starbucks pastry. Always.
