It is Friday and I rarely post on Fridays. Mostly because I need two free days to dress like a bum and not have photographic evidence of it, especially all over the internet. But I thought this was somewhat blog-worthy. You've all seen these pieces before and it's not really a shocker but I thought I did pretty well picking this out while I was half-awake this morning.
And now my bum dressing will ensue as I finish packing. We are leaving the Lake of Salt in exactly one week! I'm 90% happy and 10% sad - I just found out Modest Mouse is going to perform free at the Twilight Concert Series this summer. The one time something good happens in Salt Lake City and I'm not going to be here!!!
Big thanks to Meet Virginia for the blog award!
Wearing Collection B faux leather jacket ($55), F21 necklace ($8), faux pearl necklace ($5), faux pink pearl necklace($10), secondhand Zara shirt (from Meg), thrifted belt ($1), J Brand jeans ($158), and Geox flats ($37).

I love the flower necklace with this, and your bangs look so cute styled that way!
You look great and hip as always. Hope the packing is going well - I am so excited for you and the hubs!
This is you dressing like a bum? Wow, we have very different definitions of that :) I love all of the necklaces together!
I agree. Not a slight chance of being a bum dresser here. You look amazing! I always admire your styling of black pants/jeans and flats. :-)
I love this whole outfit! The necklaces add the perfect touch.
Ok if this is you dressing bum then me normally is completely hideous homeless hippy ugly! You look gorgeous...still sad that you are leaving us! Even though we never met ;)

that's your bum outfit?? Mine would be my pjs(not leaving the house), or just jeans and a hoodie.
like the layered looks of the necklaces!
thank God you cant see what I look like every day...that would be awful...
love your leather jacket :) you're sooooo lucky to be moving to my FAVORITE state! i'm excited for you!
loving how you layered the necklaces! this is totally not bumm-ish at all!
Modest Mouse is awesome! They always seem to come up whenever I search for anything modest on Google, too lol.
Nice leather jacket! I lost mine!!! Two of them. I don't know where they'd gone moving from state to state :-( Make sure you don't lose things from moving around a lot! Nice layering of the necklaces, too.
your necklace is so cute! :) and i love that jacket.
That's a great Friday look! I love the pink oxford and your layered necklaces!
Good luck with your move!
i like the contrast with your pink top and necklaces with the leather jacket!
Elaine ... hope you have a great time away from the big salty lake! And so glad you did post - CUTE outfit!

Oh no, sorry to hear you are missing Modest Mouse! But I'm sure there will be so many more great things going on after you move.
I love your sweet pink and floral mixed with your black jacket.

Haha, I totally know what you mean about "bum" outfits. My weekend is pretty much in the middle of the week due to my work schedule, and that's what I don't end up posting.
I must be honest with you, you got a twisted definiton of bum dressing!
By the way, is the bag Gucci?
Have a nice day!
i love the pink shirt with the leather jacket! almost preppy but not haha :)
I am glad to hear you take some days off. Love that necklace of yours.
Rachael

Hey, thanks for your comment! I love the fact that you call your blog a modest one, but don't be shy it's pretty great really ^^ You have a lot of really simple yet classic looks! I love it!
Love it! You look so tough!
Love your necklace and bag! <3
Great outfit. Do you think your style is going to change much in LA? And I'm so glad you mentioned Modest Mouse! DH and I love them and I had no idea they were coming.
Love Modest Mouse. I hope you get to see them in concert sometime, because they are wonderful. But I'm sure you will.

IF THIS IS YOU DRESSING LIKE A BUM, then I'd wonder how you'd look during labour--fabulous still, I bet!
This outfit has definitely given me a lot of ideas on how to spice up skinny jeans. :)
I don't think you look like a bum at all. You actually look very chic.
i like your faux leather jacket!
You look great!... Love the jacket ;)
your outfits look so comfortable, even the most classic and chic like this one. That's why I love this blog :)
good luck on your impending move! i'm moving back home for 2 weeks before i move down to houston in june so i know how you feel about packing your ENTIRE LIFE away. you both will do fabulously in california... good luck!
oh yes... and your outfit is just too cute! the pale pink and ladylike jewelry are a great juxtaposition to your rocker-chic jacket :)
