Look of the Day: One Time Wear

Ever have a piece of clothes you purchase and you never wear it? You may love it, but it never makes it out of you closet. Well that what this shirt is to me. I purchased it about a year ago from Anthropologie and could never work it into any outfit. I never had the perfect skirt to rock a Kim like outfit, and it just seemed boring to just pair it with jeans. But I did it anyway, and surprisingly I received a ton of compliments on it. It's still not piece I can wear all the time, but sometimes it's fun to pieces that can only be worn a handful times and then can be sold (more on a cool new app you can use to sell pieces like this later...)
These pictures were taken in front of a brick wall in San Francisco, I think it complimented my top perfectly.

Hope your Monday is going well! I am gearing up (no pun intended) to go on a bike ride, should be fun!
You know my new toy is coming along!
