Downtown




Blouse & Pants (Limited); Heels (Naturalizer); Sunglasses (Charming Charlie);

The undergrad marketing class I teach on Saturday is located in downtown Minneapolis - which is pretty much the only time I'm in the the city.  While I'm a suburban girl at heart, I do love seeing the morning sun highlight skyscrapers as I drive in... and now that we are getting over the 7 month winter we just had - there is an energy unique to downtown that is inspiring and exciting.  And this look captures that energy perfectly :)

IT's 80 degrees here, so it's crazy to see snow and ice in the background of your pictures! I love this outfit- very elegant style, but super fun patterns and textures!

That last picture of you is one of my all time favorites. So sweet and sophisticated. Love the blouse, and wow, that is crazy seeing those large heeps of snow in the background! Here's wishing you lots of sunshine coming your way!
