{outfit} Fields of Gold

The crazy heat of Summer has finally arrived! Wednesday was my little brother's 16th birthday (YOWZA, I'm getting old!) I went home for some cake and to give him a gag gift: a Dragon Tales DVD because he used to be obsessed with it.

I wanted to wear as little clothing as possible so I opted for my Michael Kors skirt and a same color tank top to create a pseudo dress.  To add some interest to the look I added gold touches with the belt, shoes, bracelet, ring and chain of my lovely Chanel, named Sirius (after Sirius Black in Harry Potter.)

P.S. Am I the only one stuck in the old days of music? I just can't seem to get into the new artists, give me Sting, The Beatles, James Taylor, Michael Jackson, Eagles, etc. any day! You can also throw in some Michael Buble for good measure, ha ha. (weird, I only listed boy groups...rest assured I like girl Rock and Roll too: Heart, Pat Benatar...) The title of this post is a Sting song, I posted it below so you can listen.

Skirt: Michael Kors (Marshalls) $10, Tank: Forever 21 $5, Flats: Seychelles (DSW) $35, Belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction (Marshalls) $7, Sunglasses: Michael Kors (Marshalls) $20, Cuff c/o The Missing Piece, Watch: Michael Kors, Ring: Forever 21 $5, Bag: Chanel
And a bit of nature for you all to "awww" at. This deer showed up at my Grandma's house on Sunday...isn't she cute!

    Is it weird that I have thought about riding a deer? They're just so fast and graceful. It would be cool to ride one.

    I like that green olive color on you. Summer goes good with your mood :)
    I only have a question, What animal is this? I can't recognize it, Is it only an specie from North America?

    Anyway,
    Happy sunday.
    See you!

    Oh yeah!! a deer! Now I can notice it. Actually I saw Bamby and I cried with that sad story :(
    In spanish the translation is: "ciervo" and they live here too, but it seems that they are different types of deer, so I only know a little specie very similar and sweet as yours :)

    So, this was the cultural moment of the day.
    see you!

    Now the song's going to be stuck in my head!! I really love this monochromatic look...so simple and pretty!! I'm amazed how the top matches perfectly with the skirt (is that the one you bought when we all went to Marshalls?).
