The local grocer was selling their St. Patrick's Day bouquets for, yes, $0.98 yesterday. Since these had recenlty lost their splendor, I picked some up.
Aren't they lovely?

black jeans.
there was a time when i considered black jeans to be so passe. but for the past few years i've really loved the look of black skinny jeans. they provide a certain slimming effect to the potential unflattering nature of the skinny jean. pre-baby, i loved jbrand 10" skinnies, but post-baby they are now a too low cut for me. post-baby, i'm a huge fan of the jcrew toothpick jeans and cords. they have a perfect amount of stretch and a nice mid-rise. on the black toothpicks, i love the contrast stiching. it highlights the fact that these are, in fact, jeans, not leggings; plus, it makes the jeans perfect for a black/brown combination.
this is what i'm wearing today.
black bead necklace-me
dove necklace-thrifted
cardigan-american eagle
top-banana republic
cami-the limited
jeans-jcrew
shoes-arturo chiang
