Impulsive


Sometimes impulse buys turn out to be the very best kind. I found this top a few weeks back when I was browsing for a birthday dress. As much as I loved the tailored lines, bold print, and matching skirt, I was on the fence. I knew it wasn't one of those elusive "wardrobe staples" that can go anywhere and do anything. But a friend encouraged me to go for it. "It's your birthday, wear something you're excited about."

And you know what's funny? Since that day, this top has become one of my go-to pieces. I've had fun finding different ways to wear it. I love it with this simple quilted skirt and sandals. I love it with high-waisted shorts. It's been a great reminder that bold can be versatile, too. So go on. Be a little bold today!
