I got a bunny on my chest!

Hello all!

It is another sunny day in NYC and I will spend 90% of it inside but I aimed to look nice and wear my best - my best being a bunny t-shirt!

Remember that if you are short, Kids Gap is your friend!
Looking ready for anything!

Love these pants and my bunny top!

Work Days

Although I usually favor skirts and dresses at the office, sometimes I do love a good pair of work pants.  This slouchy work pants are some of my favorites.  I love their length and shape, although I do have trouble finding tops that are the right volume for them.  Because the pants are rather voluminous, I always try to balance out the tops.  On Tuesday to avoid being too boring with my black, white, and blue outfit, I broke out one of my favorite scarves.  I love this zebra scarf.  It was a gift several years ago and it has been worn many a time since.

 I had a different dress in mind today for this sweater and tights, but when I put it on, it was too dark.  Then I looked over and saw my black and white dress and knew it would look great with the combo.  I love the way the wine colored tights look with the oatmeal colored cardigan (remember last week how I said I wear it a lot, I really do!), and the black and white dress.  I like how the tights and dress really accented the silk dress, hopefully without any of it being too over the top.

So today after checking out the HB side of this blog I thought, "Hey, I have blue suede shoes too!" Not of course as fabulous but lovely Gap flats none the less!

Today is work and then some errands and then dinner with a friend, so this outfit will change but it is a great "get around town look..."

Have a great Tuesday!

Blue Suede Shoes

 I wanted these booties from Boden since I saw them last fall even though in general I am anti-booties.  Something about the colors and the shape of these made me want want want them (Boden also styled them with striped socks which I loved).  I finally caved and bought them about two weeks ago and last Friday they arrived.  They were still a splurge at $113, but when they still had them in my size I decided to go for it.
 I tried to wear them with a pretty toned down outfit because they are out there in terms of work footwear, but I still wanted to be me.  So I paired them with green tights, a black pencil skirt, and my dark purple sweater.  So there was a lot of color going on, but it was all pretty muted.

Sunday Recovery Outfit



Watch: Casio (Gift $0), Necklace: Vintage (Gift $0)

Sweater: H&M ($20)
Pants: H&M ($20), Shoes: Good Will ($10)

Despite some great outfits and a good try on my part I did not win anything at the Threesis Finals! I did get there and wore my lovely striped skirt. At any rate I got fashonably tipsy, went home, watched Being Elmo and drifted off to a relaxing sleep.

Today is a quiet day of brunch and making food and preparing for another week!

Happy April Fools Day and Happy Sunday!
