halter happy

Today's inspiration board is a lesson in Mom Knows Best. In junior high and high school, mine recommended I wear halter tops and dresses for various occasions. I hated them and refused. But since picking up a powder blue silk halter top during a j.crew sale last summer, I've been hooked (notice my mom's also wearing one!). The shoulder-baring style is slimming, interesting in the subtlest way, and delicate—great for both casual beach days and elegant nights out. Some picks: striped, crossed, polka dot, mohair, accented, keyhole, pleated, electric. Yesterday I started shedding small furniture and decor pieces in preparation for my move to a smaller apartment. While my closet continues to expand (NEED that Opening Ceremony Cross Front Top), it feels good to simplify and downsize in other areas. Hope your week's off to a similarly productive start!
