Lookbook: Mixing Winter with Summer White

I know it's only Spring but with California weather, sometimes it feels like Summer. I finally got my Theory white skirt back from the tailor's so I was itching to wear it. This was the infamous winter white Theory skirt that was supposed to have the matching Gratian blazer but Theory dropped the ball on me. First they ordered it and then they couldn't find it. Still pretty upset about that. But I knew I could keep the skirt and wear it with tons of great outfits.

I love mixing winter items with my Spring/Summer outfits to give it just another look and feel.

Every woman must have a nice white skirt. I have a few of them but none as nice as this Theory pencil skirt. The 00 fits me well but I did have to take up the hem a few inches. This is the same version of my black Theory Lindra skirt that goes with my black Gratian blazer.

Guess how much I got my Ann Taylor pintuck silk blouse for? It was $78 but on final sale for $29.99 plus an additional 25% off and I had $15 mystery card. So I paid only $7.50!  I was so excited that there was a 00P left on the sales rack.
