Romeo & Juliet Couture Chiffon Ruffle-Sleeved Blouse in cream, $17.95

The SAK Iris Leather Shopper Tote in red, $78.29 (you would just be *shocked* at how difficult it is to find a maroon suede satchel for under $250.00. lordamercy. this one, imperfect though it may be, especially in color, will simply have to do, dears.)

Topshop GAME High-Pointed Courts in natural, $96.00

so, in addition to the actual pants, i found the actual shoes. and i just couldn't bring myself to include them in the outfit at this price. i know the pants are high cost, but it would appear that $200 is my falsely frugal limit. anyhoo, if you want the actual shoe, have at it.
