Tres Bien Ensemble: Bright on a Budget

Bright on a Budget

The goods:
• denim shirt from Banana Republic
• fuchsia sweater and black pants from Forever21
• tan pumps from Aldo
• necklaces from Vintage Underground and Forever21
• silver bangle from Barneys
• vintage men's watch

In an attempt to stay true to one of my 2012 resolutions, I'm sporting color today. Another frugal, Forever21 find, this bright fuchsia sweater was only $13, and the cropped cut of soft warm fabric makes it a great layering piece. I was this close to throwing on a neutral sweater, but I figured a mid-winter "heatwave" in Chicago calls for a more festive frock.

Très Bien Ensemble (tray bee-en on-som) is French for "put together very well". I see this as a multi-faceted term, relating to decorating my surroundings, pulling together a pretty party, and of course, my daily duds. I will occasionally feature items in round ups or my own outfits that may produce a small commission if purchased through my blog. I only feature brands or items that I honestly use, love, or want. The same goes for accepting products, I will always stay true to my style and turn away items that I wouldn't normally purchase. I can't very well go against my design aesthetic, that would not be très bien.
