Untucked

 When I realized that I could wear my new Charlotte Ronson shoes with my funky Elie Taheri skirt this morning I was so excited for my outfit!  Unfortunately, it was my basic black long sleeve that gave me trouble throughout the day!  It kept on coming untucked!  Methinks its too short for the slippery waistband of this skirt, but whatever it was, it was annoying.  I still love the way the colors of the skirt and shoes go together!

 Fiona got in on the stylishness too!  Although in all fairness she always looks good.

Days of This and That

 On Monday I had no inspiration for what to wear to work, so I threw on a few of my favorites and called it a day.  The funny thing is people noticed that I was a pretty toned down version of myself.  One person at work called my outfit elegant!  And I simply thought it was basic.  But I'll take elegant.

 Monday and Tuesday were pretty cold, so on Tuesday I wised up and covered up my legs.  I threw on my mothers vintage necklace to spruce up my dark outfit.  It was another day of funny work outfit comments: one of my friends asked me why I didn't look like I had stepped out of an Anthropologie store!  I was both flattered and amused.

 Finally on Wednesday I feel like I finally had the energy to think about what I was wearing.  I haven't worn my ikat top in a while so I broke it out and paired it with two of my favorite pieces: my oatmeal cardigan and my BR pencil skirt.  I was sore from working out on Tuesday so I opted for my gold flats to complete the outfit.

Nothing says style like an allergc reaction

Hello everyone!

My weekend was full of sun, friends, celebrations and a not so mild allergic reaction to something. For the last couple of days I have had hives, some swelling, and wishing that it is over. As the allergen hopefully leaves my body (and the weather changes back to sunny) I should be in less covered up and bright clothing! Here is to hoping!

Sweater: The Gap ($20)

Shoes: Forever 21 ($2), Pants: The Gap ($20)

Necklaces: Gifts, Made by me, and H&M

Geometric

 Today I paired my geometric silk print top with my structured linen jacket.  I figured the two of them went together since both of them have strong geometric patterns.  I also really liked how the jacket contained the volume of the shirt.  Because it's still chilly willy I wore my skinny cords again and my mark's paisley scarf.  Hand me down Franco Sarto flats completed my outfit.
