Monogram Fixation + Green Bean Salad

I'm not quite sure why, but it seems I'm on some kind of personal monogram fixation right now. I recently received my H&M online purchase, which included a top and backpack that have the letter "B" on it. The top has a chain link detail at the neckline, which is quite delicate and is unfortunately already coming apart since I carelessly threw it in the wash but I still like it with its subtle sheer leopard jacquard pattern. I might bring it to the tailor to take in the sides to make it more fitted on the body. The backpack is just really cute and I bought it in mind to wear it on my next hiking trip. I mentioned purchasing a "B" monogram necklace here and am happy with the size.

And from this post, I also have the Project Social T 'Varsity' Sweatshirt with "A" on it now.  I've always liked the idea of more personalized pieces but it's really a big ongoing trend right now, which is probably why it's so readily available everywhere.

While on the subject of the letter "B", here's my Green Bean Salad recipe! :)
