Brown Paper Packages...

"tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things" Love that movie and song! My outfit definitely incorporates some of my favorite things: maxi dresses/skirts, stripes, and braids! Simple, yet chic. All of these pieces are great on their own; but, paired together definitely add up to a favorite moment! =)

I'm heading out of town the country again today on a crazy last minute trip to Bogota! I was supposed to be going to a friend's wedding in NYC--but, am now heading in the complete opposite direction! But as the great Marilyn once said: "sometimes good things fall apart, so better things can fall together".

I am pretty excited for this week; although, I KNOW it's going to be crazy trying to finalize all of my open cases at work, packing, and getting final outfit shots in. But, it'll definitely be worth it in the end!
