Red pencil skirt: Halogen Cobalt top: thrifted Green scarf:  Halogen White linen blazer: Olivia Moon White loafers: Munro Yellow bag: Tignanello I kind of feel like this looks better in person than in the photo, but nevertheless I'm pretty happy! And especially so because I saw the doctor yesterday and look! No more orthopedic equipment!!
