{Blouse: Purchased in Berlin, Jeans: Banana Republic, Heels: Elizabeth & James, Purse: Burberry, Necklace: Tiffany & Co.}

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always tended to live in dresses {as seen plentifully on this site}. But sometimes swapping out my dresses for denim can be exactly what I need to get out of a date night {or really, any} uniform rut {i.e.: my classic look of a dress, heels, clutch, and jewels}. Since this past week has truly felt like spring here in California {alternating between being sunny and cool or drizzly and grey}, I traded in my date night dress for a grey lace blouse I purchased in Germany several {aka, over a decade} summers ago and paired it with slouchy blue denim jeans, grey pumps, and a blue handbag for a pale grey and blue color combination. Worn with a swingy ponytail and a simple, silver necklace, it felt like the epitome of the girl next door look with a slightly elevated feminine feel due to the romantic lace and sky high heels.
