Longing for simplicity

I'm scrambling this week to catch up from my trip to Seoul.  I've been swamped with work, we've got two days of parent-teacher conferences and I'm totally exhausted (and starting to come down with something, I think).  This is a sure fire recipe for a grumpy mama at home, which is totally unfair for my little ones.  Part of my frustration is complicated by the fact that deep down I also feel guilty for being away and I wish that I could slide right back into the groove of things, but I can't.

I do have some awesome things to share about Seoul and a few pictures to post, but for now, I thought I'd go with this look that I found on The Locals street style blog. The simple and unfettered cut of the dress coupled with some classic black oxfords makes it a head turner, don't you think?

The Locals, Paris.

Alright, back to the grind.  I'll be back in a few days.
