All Tied Up

I've been collecting 50s vintage skirts since forever and this is probably my favorite one. I feel so pretty and girly when I wear it, the only problem is that it always gets caught in the car door. Wore this to a late brunch with my dad. I think it's really important to dress up for brunch on Sundays.
Also wearing a Madewell longsleeve tee, sterling silver jewelry, Ray Ban sunglasses, and Saint Laurent sandals.

I think you've proven to the world again just how gorgeous and stylish you are. First of all, I love this skirt. Tying up this top and wearing those sandals only sweetens this already sweet look. While I like your messy curls, this more sophisticated bob is equally chic. Great style, Karla! You look amazing.

I love this! The straight hair looks great with it. And the nude lip was a smart choice - red might've been too much.

karla, i love all you stuff and you have great style - but just some honest feedback form a true fan - your hair doesn't look great like that - its a bit dated. i like it curly on you - and when you have it straight i think it suits you to have it gelled back or sleek and modern in a tight low bun or pony tail and not just a bob like that. maybe a bob would be good, but the cut would have to be more for a straight bob. just my honest opinion. keep in mind that you are beautiful no matter what, just some honest advice - take it or leave it.

As a Italian gal, Catholic church girl...I love your "dressing up on Sunday" attitude. Totally agree!
We have always dressed up for church and the day out of respect for our God. I think it gives anyone a reason to "dress up" and make Sunday a special day!

I love your creamy light skin! I love how you don't have to "tan" to look amazing. So chic, so natural, so classic! You look like an 18th Century painting!

Love the skirt and top...the shoes?
I wish I could learn to walk in heels! I'm almost 22 and sometimes borrow my Mom's designer shoes and I have to take baby steps just to stay up! Every time I see you in heels makes me want to master them! Amazing!

Heather.
