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!

Love the pairing of black and camel, so chic. And loving those curls too:)
Love that Rachel Zoe skirt! And your hair looks amazing!!
You look perfect! Love the look!!!
Such a pretty skirt! 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.
Ahh I felt the same way at the 9/11 Memorial in NYC – SO moving and I could not hold the tears back.
LOVE that skirt – it is so cute on you! : )

My boyfriend and I went to the grand opening ceremonies of the Bush library. I was like you, in tears at the 9/11 exhibit but in absolute awe of all the artifacts and memories kept inside. Your neutrals are absolutely lovely, that hat it perfect!
Love the details of each piece, especially the skirt! Such a great sale find!

Such a beautiful combination and I love how classy it all looks! The leather may add an edge but doesn’t rid the outfit from it’s elegance!
