Roses and Reunions

Last weekend my parents and I drove up to Brentwood (a little town in NorCal) for a family reunion. It was so nice to meet all of the people who starred in the old over-the-dinner-table stories, and I saw so many people who I hadn't seen since I was a shy little girl in her calf-high socks (the shy part hasn't really dissolved yet, though...).

I knew I had a job to do when I dressed up--my mission was to look sophisticated yet unique. I thought the Topshop dress was perfect; the wispy netted skirt and the simple black top looks amazing together (but of course, what else do you expect from Topshop?) and is the overall appearance is timeless. After seeing Florencia's Tiny Florals post, I realized how fantastic Katz look with tights, so of course I had to try it out. And finally, I added a splash of color to the outfit with a light burgundy coat.
Hope you like it!!

Allow me to introduce myself...

I've been meaning to post an introduction thing FOREVER but when my last draft deleted my motivation took a nosedive. Anyway, since I'll be off on spring break this week (FINALLY a break from the workload), I figured I should take this opportunity to get this blog rolling.

Okay so hiiiii I'm Irene! This is my newest blog. If you're reading this, I just want to say thank you so much for checking this out. It means so much to me. Here's a few facts about myself...

I am (as of next year) a sophomore in high school. I have adored fashion ever since I was younger. Coming from one of the most fashionable countries in the world (Italy pride!) my mom has been my main inspiration in terms of fashion and style. I love how style is a way to express yourself and your personality without having to speak. I've noticed as my style evolved through the years, I've discovered more about who I am. I also love writing, painting, and the creative arts.

I will try to update as often as I can, but until the summer arrives most of my days will, sadly, be laden with schoolwork. I'm so excited about this, and I hope you'll follow me on this brand new adventure! 

Much love xx
