fall, where you be?!
the sleeveless mock neck sweater. for when itās really fall but itās 90F+ outā¦ i digress, mock necks are super effortless and they go with all skirts (which i have a ton of). i actually have this top in two colors because thatās what i do when i love something ā itās a normal thing, RIGHT?! iāve also paired it with the marina wide leg pants as well. the material isnāt super thick so itās a good transitional piece. here i paired it with a full seamed skirt in the prettiest light blue, a super cool toned one. light blue doesnāt look that great on my skintone but this one is perfect! i really like these full seamed skirts because of the fit and i also sized down in this for a high-waisted fit, aka: over 30-fit.
side happenings: WHOA. what a FUN weekend! it felt so good to be āon the sceneā again seeing familiar faces iāve missed. the @hotelzazaaustin grand opening party was over the top crazy. (in a good way). haha, itās been a long time since iāve gone to an event like that!! itās a beautiful space, in a totally swanky zaza-style. my GF Nicole // @loveofallthethings hosted her first event at @paddywaxcandlebar and you already know iām a huge fan! iāve taken one of my BFFs for her bday and itās a great gift idea/quality/experience-type gift. this time i went with a spicy xmas scent w/a wood wick for a little crackle crackle itās going to be so FRIGGIN festive at casa JD (sarcasm). i donāt have a fireplace so this will be it :D. BTW, if you havenāt had the butter toffee pretzels at Trader Joeās, you better run and get someā¦ before i buy em all out. :D
