A Club Monaco Kind of Day

sweater and skirt from Club Monaco, necklace from Anthropologie, Swatch watch, vintage white plastic bracelet, Circa Joan & David kitten heels

If there is one store I love the most, that I could buy the entire store and wear everything in it for the rest of my life, it would be Club Monaco. It is just my style and is perfect for office attire. When leaving Nordstroms and TJ Maxx empty-handed, I usually head for CM's website. Their items are so much more unique and edgy than J. Crew, and I feel like it's my little secret store that no one else knows about.

Here is a silk skirt with a gathered front tie and paperbag waist. It needed a short top, so my new CM sweater really fit the bill. Awesomeness.

I just bought some fab shoes off eBay so look for some shoe posts in the next week or so!

O RLY? Owl Pants!

Pucci Sunglasses, J. Crew Perfect Fit cardigan, top from Target, palazzo pants by Joie, Deka Ray necklace

Fabulous swingy silk palazzo pants with an owl print. Need I say more?

A Red Day Dress

dress by Madewell, Nixon watch, unknown wristlet, Stuart Weitzman sandals

I just bought this red silk dress, I have been wanting a loose, easy-fit dress and this one works. Something I can wear very casually, though here I am wearing it with heels. The print is small cream flowers. Enjoy your weekend, my friends!

New Handbag, with Tortoiseshell

Milly handbag, Trouve blouse, Nixon watch, pants from LOFT, Loeffler Randall shoes

Back to the blog! Sorry my friends, I dropped my camera and it took me months to get it fixed. But it's summer, and there are all kinds of outfits I'd like to share, so thanks for hanging in there with me.

I'm getting a little matchy-matchy here: the color of the shoes shows up in the print of my shirt, my tortoiseshell watch matches the tortoiseshell in my handbag strap, even the color of my handbag matches my pedicure color (OPI On Collins Ave). But it all feels very fresh to me.

The blouse I just got at Nordstrom with a giftcard (thanks Mom!) and the handbag also came from there, in case you were wondering.

Goodbye Winter

Club Monaco Sage top (on sale for $29!), J. Crew Factory perfect fit corduroy pants (from eBay), necklace from Etsy, Franco Sarto wedges

Here in the middle of the country, things are warming up. I'm about to bring down all my spring/summer clothes from the attic and pack away fall/winter. I've switched out my nail polish colors already. Pale colors and corals, here I come!

Vibrant Magenta

blouse by Missoni for Target, sweater from Anthropologie, pants from Banana Republic, Cole Haan pumps

Surprise! I'm back! I know it's been a while, but can you blame me: until we changed the clocks, it's been dark in the mornings, and too cold outside for outfit posts. And many days, I think: Blogging? Ain't nobody got time for that! 

Today's outfit is all clothes you've seen before, no new pieces to show. 

Spiritually, I have been thinking about humility, accountability, discipline, and priorities. Does it matter what priorities you say you have, when you don't have the discipline to put those important things into action? Spending time with God, serving the needy, and taking care of my body and spirit are all priorities that require more than lip service. Who is holding me accountable to my priorities? And when I don't spend my time like I should, do I have the humility to tell my friends I need help? 

Wearing Red with Green

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, my friends! Among many other items, I received this red turtleneck from my husband, and a bunch of Sephora OPI nail polishes, to be featured later on the blog.

I finally got an oversized military jacket, and it may be at the end of the trend, but I look forward to wearing it as a casual coat. All of my other coats are dressier.
