Layered Neutrals

Dress - thanks to Lafayette148 New York (Love it so much! Get it here and here!)
Turtleneck - Zara
Clutch - Celine (similar shape here in fun summer brights)
Booties - Bottega Veneta (similar here now at 70% off!)
Sunglasses - D&G, thanks to Sunglass Hut

I threw practicality out the window the second I laid eyes on this sleek bordeaux clutch by Celine while making a (routine) stop into Saks SF... It fits just the bare necessities (only enough real estate for a wallet and phone).  The chic little strap?  It's not even long enough to swing from my wrist or arm.  And the leather? So incredibly soft and delicate it'll be no match for my nails...

But hey, sometimes impractical can be the best thing ever.  In this case, I certainly think so. ;)

  23. It's funny how a girl can make something so impractical, practical (with her own logic). My boyfriend always tries to talk "sense" into me before buying things. Sometimes it works... sometimes (with my own thinking) it doesn't ;)How did you figure to pair the turtleneck with the dress underneath? I really like that!
