It's Monday, and I'm a week behind
I was traveling most of last week for work and I’m still recovering, but I have a back log of outfits from the last two weeks.
I think I have a problem where I must match every item I’m wearing. For instance in this outfit I have to wear blue in at least two pieces, yellow in at least two and brown, two. So matchy-matchy!
I’m not sure why this is the case but it probably has something to do with dressing myself circa pre-school and my mom telling me I have to wearing my blue stretch pants with my white and blue bear t-shirt so it matches. Someone, please help!
skirt: Anthropologie
top: Express
cardigan: Old Navy
scarf: homemade

new hairs
I get bored with my hair so easily, I’m usually asking my patient, talented stylist to ‘try something new’ about every 8 weeks. This time she showed me how to curl my hair with my straightener, and I’ve been trying it, to varying levels of success all week. [This is right after leaving the salon - I love the vintage look of the cut!]

sherbet color block and sunshine
I was not ready for this time change; I have to change my strategy and location for my photos now that the sun is directly in my eyes at 5:30pm.
Loving this color block cardigan - it’s not too heavy, and had just the right amount of drape in the front.

cardigan: Apt 9 from Kohls
pants: The Limited
patent pumps: Target (similar)
Event day
This dress is by far my most versatile, comfortable and perfect for all occasions. I had a big event at work this week and this was the first thing I grabbed - the thick jersey, huge pockets and perfect hemline.
The shoes are new - one of a few things I purchased recently with my portion of peach money from our tax return. Pastel color blocking is my thing for spring.

casually crazy friday
Multiple layers and colors were necessary for a very blah-feeling, aren’t-I-done-yet, Friday.
It’s here! And I’m off for a weekend on my own while E is at a men’s retreat for church. The plans consist of shopping, girl’s night, a baby shower, dropping off 4 weeks of dry cleaning, and maybe, just maybe, vacuuming.

Have a good one!
olive and navy
I have relatively normal length legs (and a short torso), but for some reason looking at these photos, I’m think the pants (or the heels?) make my legs look stumpy. I always thought nude heels and cropped pants are supposed to make you look 10 feet tall. (they kind of did here: http://lattestyle.tumblr.com/post/7506369243/feeling-european)
have i been deceiving myself?

When I was changing out of these clothes after work I caught a glimpe in the mirror and thought that somehow my green sweater had stained the tops of the shoulders, becaused they seemed kind of dark.
Then I looked closer and realized that this shirt was so threadbare, you could see my skin through the tops of the shoulders. So I figured I finally needed to face the music and retire it. Sad day for my closet.
In college it was frequently borrowed by roommates because it is the traveling pants of shirts - it fit everyone perfectly. I wore it to several job interview and school presentations, and to work in my last four jobs.
Wow, I can’t believe i’m getting emotional about a shirt. At any rate, the top will live on - thanks to RIT dye and a necklace tutorial for jersey shirts. I’ll keep you posted, but here is my first attempt at the necklace that I made with a dry-clean only shirt I ruined.

Weekend wear: casual gingham
Can you believe that I once got up at 7am on a Saturday morning and actually put myself together? Everyone at my 8am Bible Study was shocked that I’d curled my hair on a Saturday morning, but what I didn’t share is that my hair hadn’t been washed in X number of days and curling it was the only way to disguise that fact.
I love a classy, casual weekend.
