Yoga

 On Wednesdays if I can get of work on time I go to yoga!  Usually this means I take my blog pictures before work, but this morning was a hectic morning and I didn't have time.  So this isn't so much of a fashion post as a post about what I look like most Wednesday nights.  Today was a nuts day at the office so the yoga was a total must!

I don't actually do yoga in my scarf but I do wear it around to stay warm after wards.

Laid Back Labor Day

Today the sun came out and I got to enjoy a nice Labor day out of the office. I do have some work to do remotely, but its much more appealing since I can do it from home. I also had some errands to run and some cleaning up to do around the house. To take advantage of the weather and the fact that I didn't need to dress for the office I paired one of my favorite skirts with my tried and true navy top. To stay warm in the chilly grocery store I borrowed a scarf from my marm. I actually bought her this alpaca printed scarf from BR last year for her birthday. It was a nice neutral color and pattern that I thought complimented the outfit. I really liked how the different fabrics and patterns complimented each other.

Playful Thursday!

This skirt had actually been at the dry cleaners since June! I was joking about how long it had been there when I went to pick it up, and the dry cleaner actually responded: since June. I actually have had this outfit in my mind for a while now even though the skirt is my mother's (thanks marm!!). I have a lot of skirts, but they are mostly of the pencil variety. I was looking forward to the return of this skirt because I thought its volume would look great with this stripy top. For some reason I had in my mind that this outfit had a vintage feel. Again, I think its the skirt. The picture at the top is actually me trying to show you how voluminous this skirt is! The picture above this is to show you the shoes I changed into after work. I was meeting my family at the San Francisco MoMa to see the exhibition on the Stein family collection (for the second time), and nothing is worse then heels in a musem! Way too much standing. So I brought my moccasins to stay comfy in the amazing exhibit. In the end this outfit transitioned really comfortably from office to museum, as well as with or without cardigan at work!

The End of an Era

After emptying out and cleaning our apartment yesterday, today my roomie Mrs. V and I handed over our keys and moved out of the apartment we had lived in for the last two and half years. As a treat to myself, I wore one of my more whimsical dresses. Due to the move I have been totally disgusting the last two weekends and have looked completely horrible.


I bought this dress at the Anthropologie in the Forum shops in Las Vegas. It was really cheap for an Anthro dress, but I wasn't sure if it was too playful and would just make me look silly. My two besties A and M (together we call ourselves HAM) convinced me that it was fun and whimsical but not ridiculous. They are good friends indeed.




The neckline on the dress is crocheted and has bead detailing. I really like how the crocheted circles overlap each other.









I must admit, I would not have put the neckline striped skirt combo together, but I think that in this dress they look really good. The blue of the neckline carries over from one to the other nicely, and the dark blue of the dress in between is a good neutral. To give the dress a little shape I tossed on a belt of a similar hue.







Because the dress had so much going on with it, I picked my neutral moccasins.

I also threw on my go to brown cardigan. After I took my pictures my mother actually handed me a pink cardigan, and she was right, sometimes more color is better!

Spring Skirt Saturday!

Of course after the beautiful weather over the last three days, today, on the weekend, it cooled down. It is no longer perfect weather, but it was still warm enough to break out one of my favorite skirts. I had to go into work today, and this outfit felt fun without and spring-like without the worry of whether it was appropriate to be worn in the office.

I love this skirt for the fun colors and polka dot pattern. Because of the variety of colors it can be worn will all sorts of tops.

Today I wore it with a green sweater and a pink tank (although I was never warm enough to take off the sweater). I bought this sweater because I like how it looks with my eyes. I have grayish eyes that are sometimes blue and sometimes green, depending on what I wear. When I wear this sweater they look the same color.

Skirt: J. Jill, bought for me by my Marmee
Sweater: Banana Republic, $25
Tank: Old Navy, $2
Shoes: Pull and Bear, 13 Euros in Spain


Springtime love! I hope the good weather is headed your way!
