Together, we skipped around the city for the most awesome b&i appointments and then we were greeted with the sweetest of hotels. It was a special birthday for my mom, so W booked us a special place to stay in Asheville, NC. (He even bumped us up to a room with a view.) When we walked into our temporary palace, we completely geeked out. 
Any genuine geek-out = a perfect opportunity for an OOTD. This time, I dragged my favorite lady into it. She noticed an area of the room with perfect lighting. I sat down on the stump (yes, a tree stump) and the room turned into an old hollywood set. We hopped around the room, pretending like we were little princesses in our own fairytale. We had a blast. And here is what I wore: 
Cardigan: new Layers Squared (my FAVORITE new piece of clothing AND...coming soon to our brick & mortar!!!). Dress: (yes, a full dress underneath the skirt). Old H&M. Skirt: Vintage from a second-hand shop in VA. Belt: Gift from an amazing employee. Boots: My wedding boots purchased at The Portland Outdoor Store. Jewelry: See below. 
New betsy & iya! Earrings: I basically haven't taken these hoops out since I made them-->>> The Badlands. yummmmm. Necklace: This one I designed and created around the holidays, but haven't had a chance to list it online yet. It IS currently available in our brick & mortar and will soon be available online-->>> The Sandstorm necklace. LOVE. Bracelet: Mom's from the 70s. Ring: Elysse Bunkers available at one of my favorite Portland haunts, Radish Underground. 
Dress up time!! I know it's already passed but HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mama! I had so much fun with you. Thanks for being my captain on the latest b&i business road trip. I love you. xo~betsy ***Song of the Moment: I Must Be In a Good Place Now, by Vetiver***
