Back to Basics

by Jen on Thursday, September 16, 2010



Black. White. Sheer. Silky. Emerald Green and Golden touches. Nothing more, nothing less.











P.S. The glasses in the first photo are just a joke... they belonged to my boyfriend's father back in the day and we thought it would be fun to throw them on!

P.P.S. Readers: I've been pondering about this for a while now. What do you like to read about on fashion blogs? Is it the outfit posts? Compilations of "must-haves"? Random musings? Posts with guest appearances? I would really love some feedback and so that I can be able to tailor my blog more to your liking-- so PLEASE let me know!

Wearing: Zara sheer blouse, Jacob shorts, Zara peeptoes, Harriet Grey necklace, my grandmother's gold stud earrings

Love this outfit, you have such a chic, classic closet! When I saw you about to step in that puddle, I was like "don't do it!!" haha

Hmm I like your blog as it is! You should just write about whatever you want. People come here b/c they like you!

Such a great outfit! I love the Zara blouse and pumps. The statement necklace adds the perfect pop of colour!

& I like blogs to have a mixture of everything :)

it's funny that those glasses belong to your friend's dad. i was going to ask where you got them from! they look cute on you and i love that first photo of you wearing them! beautiful setting for your photos, you look chic and serene by the water. that zara blouse is gorgeous, i love the black placket at the front against the sheer sleeves and bodice. and of course, love your necklace!

Oh boy.. that picture of you looking like you're about to step in the water and ruin those gorgeous shoes made me nervous!

Lovely outfit, I love simple black and white together. I think you look so cute in those glasses.

I would just blog about what you love, I think that's what attracted people here in the first place.

Awww, I liked those glasses in the first picture! It is so funny how fashion cycles around itself. I really like your outfit posts but I would like to see some "must have haul" posts. I'm always interested in what other people want/buy/shop ect...

You're brave to put those shoes so close to water eek!

I really love that necklace :)

For me, personally I love outfit posts the most, but I enjoy seeing a mixture of subjects from bloggers.

You really look fabulous!

I love your outfit, it's so simple but the pop of green makes it chic and sophisticated! I enjoy reading your blog not matter what you post, but if I had to choose, I like the "must haves" and the outfit posts just to see different ways people mix and match things.

another great outfit!
about what you asked, mostly I like to read about outfit posts, but prefer them with content. also what you suggested too, ramblings, wishlists, great purchases, etc.
hope I helped :)

Hey Jen!
Ah! I've been away for a couple of days and missed a few of your posts! Must say I absolutely adore the emerald necklace here! And those shorts?? Are they new/leather?? I am at my wits end trying to find leather shorts lol but on second glance im not sure if yours are!

I love reading your outfit posts but would love to see more of your must-haves because i love your style so much and would love to see what you keep an eye out for! :)

Love the top and necklace! I haven't had much luck with Zara but I am going to have to go back:)

This looks SO MUCH BETTER than throwing on a bunch of basics! This is very sophisticated yet comfortable! That blouse just brought me to tears. SO GORGEOUS :D

This is definitely one of the most brilliant combination I've ever seen - you look fantastic! I can't decide whether I love the blouse more, the pumps or the necklace?

Wow!

besos,
