A wet few days had me feeling tired of cooler temps, drizzling rains and in need of a serious shot of color to brigthen my day. If not, I was going to end up curled under a blanket watching 'Gone with the Wind' on repeat as if I have that kind of life. Instead, I opted for a burst of blue and yellow to brighten my day. … [Read more...]
This week is nuts. Like ham sandwich on pumpernickle and rye, balls to the wall insanity. Between trying to find a new sitter, get work done before Mom 2.0 next week and regular old life and good ol' Aunt Flo messing with my mood I am all over the place. I swear I almost stroked out the other day while trying to cook dinner, sign the kids up for camp and potty train The Fifth Element. So let's just call this the 'my crotch feels like it is falling out and if I have to wear yoga pants I will bash someone's face in' outfit, shall we? I told you I'm feeling jolly. … [Read more...]
It was a busy week and I was feeling a bit more like dressing up due to the warm weather. Whether I was going to Open House at preschool, going to numerous doctor appointments or just working from home I wanted to put in a bit of effort. I also included the sweet bracelet I won from Style Elixir by KnottyGal. Come see! … [Read more...]
Let's call this edition 'Museum Day' wiww. I was running around town doing the necessary errands, lunching alone and then finding some quiet time to hit up an exhibit on domestic life in the Gilded Age. I wanted comfort with a bit of style because it was cold, there was a lot of walking and yet, I had no kids with me. … [Read more...]
This edition should be titled, "The Meeting that Never Was". Or I just couldn't find a spot. I had a meeting in the city. A lunch/speaker thing to go to and leaving myself about 20 minutes for parking was clearly not enough. I drove and circled and circled and drove and guess what? No parking. Then I got stuck behind a delivery truck who was having similar issues. Forty minutes later I gave it up and decided to move on, get lunch and get some work done. At least I got to rock some cigarette pants though. Take a look! … [Read more...]
I felt inspired by a few posts from other wiww participants a few weeks back (So wish I could remember the ladies and credit them! Sorry!) and decided to break out a sweater I never wear. Long story short, red is one of my favorite colors. I used to wear it all the time. Now, I never do. This time I broke out the red sweater from long ago, threw on a red-striped shirt and added some old school pearls. … [Read more...]
To quote Macklemore's 'Thrift Shop', "let's do some simple addition" that it doesn't take a genius to figure out this edition of what I wore Wednesday is all about simplifying. It was pouring out. It's March. Every March I suddenly just get so sick of EVERYTHING that is in my closet. My clothes feel itchy on me. They are too hot, not warm enough, just plain boring and awful and I end up wearing something like this- … [Read more...]
I went to a baby shower this weekend for an old college friend and decided to pair an A-line cobalt blue dress from ASOS with a cashmere Land's End sweater and Target booties. Similar to what is tucked under the sweater below- … [Read more...]
