We are headed to a tavern tonight with friends. It's rainy (and possibly sleeting). I was inspired by Laurie's skirted legging with asymmetrical sweater. And my preppy black Hunters just arrived. I purchased these Hunters and the raincoat as rainy day staples that had been missing from my wardrobe for too long.

The Alexis Bittar set that I am wearing is a small tribute to my mother. It's hard to remember but I think both the earrings and the bangle were both hers. This is a very, very rare occurrence where I felt like I might have been early to have worn Bittar (probably 15 years ago). And then I shared this designer with my mom. The earrings were most definitely my mothers. I lost my mother in 2007 but wearing her jewelry keeps her close.
