Don't be fooled by the bright sunshine. It was 50 degrees out when I took these this morning. Hence the sweater, scarf, and me hamming it up like I'm freezing (see below). 🙂 It looks like Austin has finally clued in to the fact that it is fall/winter. Which...
This originally appeared as a guest post over on Sandy a la Mode. Aubergine. Plum. Eggplant. Violet. Purple. Whatever you want to call it, this color has been a heavy hitter in fashion ever since ye old days when only royalty could afford it. Luckily you don't have to...
This is what I wore yesterday. Yes, it's still sunny and 80 degrees here - I know, I'm amazed, too. November! This is my perfect weather, though. Not too cold, not too hot, not dreary. If I could just freeze the weather line-up at this I would (with the occasional...
My birthday yesterday was a pretty awesome day. It started out like this: with the puppy keeping me company while Ian cooked me some breakfast in bed. Then we headed out to a local vineyard for a wine tasting. Neither Ian or I had been to a vineyard or done a...
Well, the day has come. I never thought it would, but it has. I actually like a shade of yellow. Not just tolerate-like, but actively, enthusiastically-like. Mustard yellow is now a prominent color in my wardrobe. You can see me sporting it here, and I know I've worn...
So named because of the forest green of this dress and the chambray top over it, of course. Not because it's particularly appropriate for frolicking in a forest (though I don't think it'd fare too badly). This is what I wore on Monday. It was a day for errands,...
Hello lovelies! I hope your respective weeks are going well. Mine definitely is. That cold front that came through over the weekend had me worried, but then today it was back in the 80's. Whew! I'm not quite ready for bundling up yet. We've moved back to A/C...
Just because it's still 85 degrees here during the day doesn't mean I can't sartorially pretend it's fall. Hence my sweater (though short-sleeved) and scarf (though non-warm-making). This is my first venture into fashion scarf wearing. Prior to this, the only...
This week's closet challenge from Ma Nouvelle Mode was 'oversized shirt,' and I just so happened to have one that I'd been waiting to wear. I tried on about a dozen different belts before settling on this one. And... I dunno. This look turned out ok. I'm...
I went to my closet today with a mission. What hadn't I worn in while? What hadn't I figured out how to wear yet? Answer: a) my black jeans and this tank both, and b) this turquoise crochet top. And somehow they all work together. Color me surprised, but I kind...
