Warm Friday

fr
 Friday was a really warm day by San Francisco standards and although I wore my cardigan to stay all covered up at work, when I was outside  I let my arms be free.  I found this shell in a dry cleaners bay from ages ago and knew it would be perfect for spring.  I love its color shape and neckline.  I also love how it can be worn with either skirts or, in this case jeans.

Weekend of Cardigans

 This was my casual Friday outfit.  I was pretty loopy all week since I just got from my trip and had been crazy busy.  So I went for my fallback option on casual friday, a cardigan.  I have an extensive collection of cardigans and I love love love them.  My parents gave me this classic black one a few years ago and I recently rediscovered it!  It was perfect for a low key day in the office.

 Sunday was a nice laid back day.  After a hectic weekend I finally had some lounging time so I went for extra comfort with my comfy boyfriend jeans and another cardigan.  I paired it with a new tank top that I just got at the gap.  I love polka dots and couldn't resist this one.    Perfect for a low key day.

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!









Dress: Anthropologie, $30
Sweater: Knit by me
Belt: J. Crew, my mothers
Shoes: Pull and Bear in Spain, 13 Euros



I hope the day is sunny and wonderful wherever you may be!
