Saint Laurent scarf 

Gianvito Rossi suede fringe pumps 

Isabel Marant bracelet 

Theirry Lasry sunglasses 

rag and bone mini crossbody

Daytime Dressy and the Midi

When I am working I am usually dressed up. Mostly because I feel better when I look polished and put together. This is something I would wear to a luncheon or any sort of daytime event. I love the high low mix on this one and how a midi can really step things up.
