Rediscovering my closet: grey tunic


Tunic: New York & Co.
Skirt: Gap
Belt: Came with a blazer
Pumps: Steve Madden
Earrings: Kohl's

I wore this outfit to church on Sunday because there was a possibility that I'd have to stand up front and translate the sermon. Lucky for me, I got a break from translating duties and I just got to look a little extra fancy for church.


I love this tunic, but I haven't worn it since I've been here in Costa Rica. I know, a limited wardrobe and there are items I haven't worn - I'm ashamed of myself, too. Anyway, as a challenge to myself, I'm going to be trying to pull out more of these items this week.


I mean, seriously: check out that pretty beading and the contrast of grey and bronze-ish (totally a color). How could I not have worn this in the past five months? Part of my issue is that I don't really know how to wear it. This is the first time I've tucked it into a skirt and I rather like how it turned out.


Any other suggestions?

    That tunic is beautiful, and of course you always look beautiful. Together you look stunning. I love it paired with the gray shoes.

    LOVE that tunic! You look gorgeous, tucking it in was a great idea. How about layering it over a black dress and adding a bright belt?

    I think the tunic is so pretty! You could definitely try it with some shorts, a pair of wedges and a pile of bronze-ish bangles. and a red clutch :)

    I think this tunic is GORGEOUS on you and love how you styled. You look amazing. Could also imagine it with a pair of jeans and sandals.

    I'd never thought of layering it OVER a dress. I'm going to have to try that.

    I've been considering getting shorts and this suggestion makes me think I might actually be able to wear shorts in my normal life.
