Well, we're back, and though I'm not totally off vacation mode, today was a busy, busy day for me. I reached for some tried and true pieces: brown pencil skirt, leopard print belt, and bright blue wedges. I jazzed it up a bit with a shirt I hardly ever wear, though, so I feel successful.


I even got to take pictures with Kiku again. I'd missed that.


These shoes and this belt just make my day. I can't even tell y'all how much I love these two pieces. And since the shoes have a bit of a peep toe, I'm trying to get as much wear out of them as possible before it's too cold to wear open toed shoes.


And finally, I'd like to show off a bit of my Turkish tan. I promise I wore sunscreen - SPF 30 to be exact - but that Aegean sun was just too much for me. It was gorgeous, y'all. There will be a vacation highlights post in the future, but I'll refrain from photo dumping. I will say that we've managed to edit our photos and have gone from 900 to about 540; I feel like this is progress.

For now:

In front of the fountain on the Hippodrome in Sultanahmet.

Behind me is Hagia Sofia, which was first a Byzantine church and then an Ottoman mosque and is just stunning.
