southwestern.

skirt: closet case vintage, top: express, belt: banana republic, bracelet: gifted, earrings: unknown, shoes: jessica simpson, sunglasses: a.j. morgan

i wore this outfit to tavern nashville for sunday brunch with two of my favorite bloggers - vivek (my big bro!) and tabitha. we enjoyed lots of fun foods and my personal favorite was the pain perdu (challah french toast with a frosted flake crust). i also took a quick shot of the red velvet waffles:

one thing i've noticed is that most fashion bloggers love two things: platform shoes & good food :)

Labels: brunch, fashion, nashville, outfit, skirt, vintage

Longuette said...: I am with you about the platform AND good food!!
tough, being Italian it means I SHOULD love food anyway ;-)

I love the whole combination of colours and style. It may be crazy to say, but some of the pics you take has a mexican vibe! It may be because of the vibrant colours and happiness in them!
