These photos are from our last day in Marrakech. We visited the Jardins Majorelle, a small but lovely botanical garden - and the site of Yves Saint Laurent's ashes. I'd been trying to dream up some different ways to wear this vintage button-down, as it's oddly one of the more challenging pieces I own to remix, and I realized I'd worn it under other things but never over. I decided to borrow a page from S. of Narrowly Tailored's playbook and use a belt to reign in some of the blouse's volume and give more definition to my natural waist.

I'm afraid I'll keep this short and sweet, as I'm absolutely knackered from traveling all day, but I'll be back in blogger-action tomorrow to talk about this week's FBFF topic (one of my favorites!) and to share some surprisingly nice outfit photos taken in the midst of our journey today. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the pub for a nice glass of bitter - I'll give you three guesses where we are now. :)
