I drove past this little Indian craft shop the other day and the ornate woodwork in its entryway instantly reminded me of some of the intricate doorway designs that we saw in Stone Town, Zanzibar on our honeymoon {pictures coming soon, I promise!}. I’m not one for antiques, but when you see such amazing handiwork, you can’t help but admire in awe.
As for my outfit today, I’m sporting a couple of my latest outlet finds from this past weekend! One of my pitstops was Gap and they always have the best basics to stock up on. I found this incredible pinkish-purple top on clearance for only $3 and knew it was going to be a new fave. And this belt? It was $5. Can you see the lovely snakeskin texture {close-up below}. It’s my new looooove. 🙂

I love the rich color of the belt. I totally missed out on the great shopping this weekend but I'm sure I'm all the better for it… I hope.

yes, money saved for sure! 🙂

I went to Gap outlet this weekend too and didn't see any of the items you picked up! I did see a unisex tshirt with Pebbles and the boy toddler from the Flintstones. They were holding wooden clubs and the caption said "We be clubbin'". Ahh! So cute, but I passed. Now I'm regretting it.
LOVE the first picture. You framed the photo perfectly!
Kileen says
Haha, that shirt sounds crazy. Crazy awesome. I was surprised to find so many things I liked from Gap too. But that place is really hit or miss with me.

You've always found the best places for blog photos. The first photo is my fav. Were you using AF or manual mode? Your pictures look so beautiful. I love finding bargains 🙂 I can see why you are loving your belt. Such pretty color!
Kileen says
I use AV (aperture priority) mode for all my self photos. When Adrian takes my pics, he always Manual mode. Hope that helps!

Stylesandsmarts says
Very cute! Did you add the extra holes in the belt yourself or did you have someone else do it?

Kileen says
I punched the holes myself using this belt hole puncher:

Dearie, you really know how to wear color. You're always clothed in such pretty, vibrant hues. I need to start wearing more of them! You look stunning. I love how you dressed up a simple tee with a pencil skirt.
