LEATHER SWEATER January 20, 2014 Happy MLK Day, everyone! I had a fairly busy weekend, which was a bit unexpected. My mom and sister came into town to host a baby shower for a friend, so it ended up being a super productive weekend. Yesterday the three of us went to church, followed by lunch at Cafe 43 and a tour of the George W. Bush Library & Museum. The museum was well worth it, but you’re in for an emotional overhaul. The 9/11 exhibit had me in tears – they even have a piece of the frame from one of the towers on display. It’s truly gut-wrenching. On to more cheerful things like my outfit… Don’t you just love the color combo of camel and black? It’s so classic and easy. I picked up this skirt at Neiman’s a few weeks ago on super sale, and it goes amazingly well with my new Robert Rodriguez leather-paneled sweater. The weather in Dallas has been fairly mild, so it’s been nice not having to wear tights with my leg-baring outfits, but if I do wear them, this pair by Wolford is my favorite!

So sad it’s sold out :( Good to know about the Bush library…I almost went when I was home in December, but the lines were crazy crazy. Sounds like you need to devote a whole afternoon and be pretty mentally prepared.
