Floral skirt + striped top = ~~laziest~~ easiest outfit recipe ever! It’s how I roll. Don’t fix what ain’t broken, etc., etc.

But the hot pink flats! They’re hot pink! I couldn’t resist, though god knows how many occasions a thirty-something has to wear hot pink shoes. Here’s an idea: let’s brainstorm … because I need to wear these puppies as much as possible.

This skirt is growing on me too. (It helps that it’s a perfect match for these flats.) It might just vie for the “favourite” title this summer. Oooh. Smackdown of the floral Anthro skirts? It’s on, baby.

Paisley + Plum

categories: Bargains, style, Uniforms

What I Wore: Grocery Shopping

J. Crew pink paisley shirt; NYDJ pants; Tumbled Reva — Shirt, J. Crew Factory; vest, Old Navy; pants, NYDJ (via consignment); shoes, Tory Burch (via Kijiji)

Kids, this is what happens when you sleep on wet hair. Just don’t.

Moving on to the outfit, this is formula dressing at its ~~best~~ better than average. Pick a shirt – any shirt – from my closet, throw the vest on top, don’t forget pants, and done. It’s practical, it’s comfy, I could wear some version of this every day. Oh, my glamorous life. The missing exclamation mark is intentional, in case you’re wondering.

I don’t really have much more to add, so I’ll pull the ole blogger manoeuvre and wrap up the post with a question: what’s your easy outfit formula?

(And, hey, if you want to reciprocate, feel free to leave me your question(s) in the comments.)

Pink Paisley + Polka Dots

categories: Favourite things, style, Uniforms

What I Wore: Brunch

J. crew polka dot dress — Dress, J. Crew (via eBay); shirt and belt, J. Crew Factory; bag, MbMJ (via consignment)

I like this outfit a lot, and I promised you would see it again, and here we are.

I also like this shirt a lot, despite the fact that it’s paisley and pink, which sounds terrible but isn’t. And I like this pairing of pale pink and burgundy, which reinforces my belief that burgundy is the new black. Here’s an indoor shot to get a better look at the colours.

Also, polka dots. Lots and lots of polka dots.

Oh, and sticky toddler fingers on my dress. Of course.
