What I Wore: Weekend Adventures

May 2014

I wasn’t going to post this outfit because, hello, blog-worthy it is not. Even by the admittedly low standards of this blog. Cute and comfy, yes. Stylish, not particularly. But the photo itself struck me as familiar somehow and, after a bit of digging, I realized why.

Holy crap, time flies.

That is all.

The Dress Thief

What I Wore: Family Gathering

OK, I didn’t actually steal this dress. I just … stole the idea of this dress. From Adrien, because she has the best dresses, ever. I waited for what seemed like an eternity for this one to pop up on eBay so I could make it my own, and when it finally did, I did. And, clearly, I have no shame because I’m splashing my bad deeds all over this here blog. Awesome dress is awesome. Happy dress-thief dance.

BRAD-PITT-DORKY-DANCE

There is a lesson to be learned from this immoral anecdote, I’m sure, and it’s not that style thievery pays. (Although, listen: it totally does. In compliments and undeserved style cred. I would know.) No, I think it’s something about patience, or perhaps about being really good at eBay. Wait, maybe it’s about the importance of finding amazing style inspiration. Yes, I think that might be it. And, hey, if you’re in the market for some of that, you can always check out some of the truly stylish ladies who inspire me (linkies in my blogroll).

Stripes and … Wait for It … Florals

What I Wore: Weekend Adventures

Pants, Pilcro/Anthropologie; top, vest & shoes, Old Navy

So, I am determined to make grandma’s couch happen, one way or another. Now, as you might imagine, these pants are not the easiest thing to style, especially in any unique or particularly creative way. Sometimes, the tried-and-true is the only way to go. Hence, stripes. I threw on my khaki Old Navy vest because (a) hello, winter-that-is-never-ending-oh-my-god-when-will-it-end, and (b) the colour actually works great as a neutral in this case.

Also, holy squinting, Batman!

Ah, better! Sometimes, twee blogger poses actually serve a purpose. Who woulda thunk it?
