The Catch







Sunday Trunk Show!
Crochet Sweater: Arden B (Similar Here)
Shorts: Old Navy Avail in 4 patterns (Get it Here)
Sandals: MIA  (Get it Here)
Ring & Bracelets: Forever 21 & Claire's
Crossbody Bag: Miu Miu  (Similar Here)
Some weeks are good, some weeks are great, and some weeks just could be better!  If you are trying to guess how my week is going...it's the latter!  My current team at the office is understaffed, and right now we're at the height of our busy season.  Relief is in sight within the next month or so!  Until then...I'll just look at these photos and let them whisk me off to an island!  The calypso green shorts and the crochet sweater reminds me of a hammock strung between two giant trees right by the sea!  What's the catch of the day?

  3. I love your crochet sweater - so fun, and definitely channels the island/hammock feel. I wish I was on vacation too right now! Hang in there - just a short while left to go before you get a break :)

  5. Nice!
    Nail polish colour and a massive ring are great additions to the outfit.
    I haven't been in Blogger for ages. It was really interesting to see the changes in your blog. Your photos are so beautiful!

  12. Ohhh, Bessie, I hope the week gets better! BTW, your outfit already put me in a better mood:)! Fun, summer outfit! Love the crochet top and, hey, I got the same pair of shorts from Old Navy a few days back! My friends are coming from NY for a week and we might even pay a short visit to Chicago, but we'll have a day or two at the most to show them the city so I do not think I'll be able to meet you this time also!:(( We'll plan some time later!!

  26. Bessie, I am loving all your summer outfits and this one is no exception. I particularly like the fact that you "chose" colorful outfits and nail colors in summer whereas most opt for the "safe" white and pastels { including myself !}. And your accessories are as always, awesome and very chic!
    PS: The place of photo shoot is very beautiful, with those lovely lavenders in the background.
    Have a nice day ,

  96. Awww, poor busy Bessie... I know how it feels to be so much under pressure. However, at the moment I have absolutely no work to do whatsoever, although I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Okay, it is great to relax and have a holiday after the busy year I've had, but when I start running out of money in my account, it won't be so nice :P .

  97. Read your comment on my blog and knew that you were having a hectic week! Wish I could help! Close your eyes. Imagine a white sandy beach, waves lapping at the shores, the sun gently caressing your skin as you sip a fruity island cocktail and wearing this gorgeous outfit!
    Did it work? Feel better? Hope so at least if for just a few seconds!
    Hope your week ahead is better! Just breathe!!!
