How Would you Describe my Skirt?

 I don't know about you, but I have been staying up late watching the Olympics for the last few nights.  I love the swimming and am totally entranced as soon as I turn on the t.v. no matter what I am watching.  But this means each morning I struggle to get out of bed and go to work!  This morning I turned to my funky Elie Taheri. This skirt always gets compliments, but then whenever I talk about it I never know how to describe it.  Over the weekend a woman was wearing shorts made out of this same fabric, and when I tried to describe the fabric I was at a total loss.  The blend of color and pattern is awesome in person, but beyond me to put into words.  Any ideas on how to describe it for the future?

Teacher for a Day!

So today is a fun one because I am presenting my thesis to a class of Masters students so I am teaching to people my own age! I wanted to look good, classy, and fun so I combined some comfy items, cashmere sweater, with my funky patterned pants.

The scarf is a great one I got at H&M last summer, it is so light but is great for layering!

Colors, patterns, and black!!

Toning Down

Today I decided to try to tone down my whimsical Marc by Marc Jacobs top to make it workplace appropriate.  I did this by pairing it with skinny black pants, my trusty oatmeal cardigan, and my light gold shoes.  I like how these shoes become almost nude.  

I love the multiple patterns on this top and how they all fit together.

Sunday Colors!

It is a beautiful day and we are celebrating with COLOR!!! and a little bit of floral....

Black Pants Twofer

 The Gap is having an amazing 30% off your entire purchase sale and I couldn't resist these pants ( I can't find them on the website - they are the cropped legging jeans).  I really wanted them in green but the black seemed more practical.  I was actually working off site on Friday so I got more dressed up then I usually would on a Friday.  I paired my black skinny pants with a black t-shirt from the Gap and a borrowed blue Eileen Fisher jacket from my mother.  Finishing it off was my floral ballet flats from J. Crew.  I really liked how simple but fun this outfit was.  Not too funky as I needed to make a good impression, but not boring either.

 On Saturday night it was a good friends birthday drinks, so I put back on my skinny black pants, but this time paired them with a cool polka dot top from Weston wear and some Seychelles heels.  I loved this top from the moment I saw it and was super excited to get to wear it out.  because it is really voluminous, the skinny pants were a must!  The shoes even got complimented as looking like the moon.  What more could a girl ask for?

Saturday Relaxing in Cashmere and Suede

AHHH comfortable and good looking clothes always makes a day even better!

Long Pants, Long Day

 I am not sure there is a direct correlation between the length of my pants and the length of my work day, but today it sure felt like it.  Despite this potential correlation I really like these black cords.  I actually really liked this whole outfit today.  I thought the different patterns and textures complimented each other nicely - which is a bonus considering I couldn't find the sweater I wanted to wear this morning and switched up my outfit at the last minute.

Pants: J. Crew, $40 Shoes: Seychelles via DSW, $30 Shirt: Anthropologie, $30  Sweater: Eileen Fisher, $40  (wow, I had a price theme going today apparently).

Traveling Tuesday

Today is just a work day and then a long trek back to Boston! There will be gifts, shopping, and lots of fun in Boston so I look forward to sharing it with you all this week!

Today I am wearing a cashmere sweater belted with my Gap black leggings. I have tons of bracelets, all gifts, and my high brown boots.

Happy Holidays everyone!!
