Green on the Bottom

This weekend I was all about being green.  On Friday I wore my green pants to work and then out for a night on the town with friends (I switched shirts and shoes in between), and then Saturday night I broke out a skirt that I couldn't resist at Anthro but had not yet had an opportunity to wear.  I didn't plan on being green all weekend, but for both occasions I couldn't resist.  I love my vibrant green pants and decided that for casual Friday I would pair them with a striped long sleeve and heels.  Later when I went out for drinks with friends I switched over to a black v-neck and gold flats - I hate when my feet hurt when bar hopping.  Saturday night I finally had a chance to wear my green lace skirt to a birthday party.  This skirt was $11 at Anthro.  I found it on crazy sale and couldn't resist.  Since its a pretty busy skirt I paired it with a favorite black long sleeve and nude flats (obviously not pictured) and headed out.   I hope to wear both of these bottoms again in the near future.  Sorry Kermit, this weekend it was easy being green!

Fall Adventures - Part 1

 When I arrived in Boston much to my wardrobe's dismay it was HOT.  Lucky for me I was staying with my friend the Coolest A and she loaned me warm weather clothes.  How lucky am I?  I really loved this pink and red skirt.  It has such a fun pattern and shape to it.  It was perfect for a walk from Davis Square to Harvard Square for Peete's Coffee!

Check out the fun volume on this baby.

 This was another loaner from the Coolest A.  I threw it on to head up to NH since it was so warm in Boston.  I loved the shape, pattern and colors of this dress.  It was perfect for navigating the T on the way out of Boston at rush hour.  The red shoes were just what I had . . . so I went with them on the theory that more color can't hurt.

 This is the one and only outfit that I took pictures of while I was in NH.  Most of the time I was hanging out, hiking and baking.  It was GLORIOUS!  It was crisp and cool and the leaves were changing before my eyes.  This outfit is what I looked like when I got back from Portsmouth where I had gone to visit a friend.

Something Old, Something New

I initially grabbed this sweater for the cute bow detailing.  The color I will admit is an odd one.

I loved the way the patterns and colors came together with the shirt, sweater, socks, shoes and scarf combo.

Today I broke out another one of my finds from Maribel yesterday: this green short sleeved sweater.  I actually grabbed this sweater at Maribel and loved it when I put it on, and then my mother also loved it when she put it on . . . . so its something to be shared in the future.  But I got to take it out for its premiere today.  This morning it was cold and overcast so I wore my new sweater over my navy striped shirt that I got from Target in college.  I really liked how the pieces go together.  The weather was really weird today, overcast in the morning, then humid, and finally the sun broke through.  Luckily this combo was the right weight for most of it.  I paired my tops with my basic gap blue jeans and my ribbon shoes.  To keep my toes warm I borrowed my marm's striped wool socks.  I discovered last winter that these socks looked good in these shoes (not awful as I was expecting) and enjoy wearing these socks and shoes together when the occasions present themselves.  At various points in the day I had different jackets on and even my scarf.  The weather was odd, but the outfit was just right.

Two Navy Days

THURSDAY




The thing about San Francisco is it has no real summer that you can count on. And Thursday it was overcast all day. But luckily I am a lover of cardigans. Thursday I paired my new favorite gray ribbon cardigan with my navy blue pencil skirt. It wasn't until after I took these pictures that I realized that my entire outfit buttoned down the front. Still I liked how the cardigan and the skirt complimented each other. Both are pretty conservative on their own, but have fun embellishments that keep them from being boring.

One of the reasons I didn't post last night was because I had a date with some orangies from the Jersey Shore. Or at least watch the Jersey Shore as a low key send off for Miss AP who is headed to grad school in DC. This meant that after dinner and some awesome girl time I got to bed late and woke up this morning to another gray morning and work. I ended up dressing more casually then I usually would have. I threw on a shirt that I actually bought my last year of college. It is a Proenza Schuler for target. I not only like its simplicity, but also the contrasting stripe around the neck. It is a little see through, so I put on a teal tank underneath. To add a little more color, I threw on my purple cardigan. I knew, if I wore heels today, I would regret it. Its a natural law that the day you are most tired is the day you are the busiest. I attempted to dress my outfit up a little more with my metallic flats.
