Today’s look of the day! Nostalgia…

Leave a comment

With my birthday coming up, and graduating from high school 18 years ago (geeeesh! time flies!!), I was feeling a little nostalgic and created this “look of the day” as a blast from the past.

The So Whimsy sweatshirt makes a statement from the 80’s with Feather earrings made by Skylark 360. I paired it with this So Whimsy tote bag as it’s the perfect tote to fit your favorite book, a bottle of wine, sunblock, and sunglasses.

Fun facts about Skylark 360! Designer Molly Yoder is a Colorado native, attended Metro State (with me!), and was inspired to start her jewelry business after a visit to Murano Italy.
