Inspired by Olivia Palermo

This top is not something I would have ever picked out on my own. But when I saw it here on Olivia Palermo, it was instant love. Then I saw that it was from Zara (free shipping!!!) and not hundreds of dollars, so I ordered it right away. That girl can make a two-dollar t-shirt look incredible, so I hope I did it some justice. I even tried to replicate her use of a simple-yet-interesting slipper option.

If you like this top, lucky for you this embroidered style is huge right now. See it here in this adorable  dress, this spring/summer sleeveless version of mine from Topshop (love the back on this one), and this matching shell and shorts from All Saints I stumbled upon on a trip to Michigan Ave. on Friday night. 

What do you think of the embroidery trend cropping up this spring?

And for your enjoyment, here is an outake of what was captured by my photographer Amy when a very loud fire truck with its sirens blazing came through our super-echoy underpass!
