What I Wore: Pediatrician Appointment

I think J. Crew called this cardigan colour “jade”, though I’m not sure it’s not actually “teal”. It leans a bit more green than blue, though, so let’s go with jade. It’s a pretty colour, no? It works really well with my Pilotto for Target dress, which is great for days when I want to look a bit more dressed up yet feel like I’m wearing a big t-shirt.

I’ll let you in on a little secret … I’m hiding something in this photo. Relax, it’s not a bump (though it kinda looks like I had a big lunch that day, eh?). What I’m hiding is a, ahem, blemish. And not just any blemish, but one with its own zip zit code (as my husband lovingly informed me). That face I’m making? I’m trying to hide the monster. I could maintain my composure only so long, though, especially once my husband started making shout-outs to “Steve”.

I will have my revenge!

What I Wore: Thrifting

I know what you’re thinking. But! This is my usual uniform … with a twist. See, I added a necklace. Ahhh! It’s like a whole new outfit. No? Oh well …

I also put on a pair of heels, which I assure you I did not wear out of the house (I think this was back in early March). They’re too cute for slush, and a surprise bargain. See, I bought them on the J. Crew Factory website, but they are in fact the regular retail version of this shoe – made in Italy. I paid something entirely reasonable, too (around $70, if I recall correctly). The reviews for these wedges (called Martina on the retail side, and Sylvia on the Factory side) are generally very positive, and so far I concur; they’ll get tested more extensively once I go back to work.

P.S. If you have a minute, check out my guest post today over at the Unique Gifter (psst, it’s all about bags in this season’s hot pastel trend).

What I Wore: On a Warm Day

Yes, I wore green and blue together, and it was not altogether a disaster.

More importantly: I was not only photo-bombed, but out-Blue-Steeled by my kid. Who is two and a half. Please note that he has it down pat, complete with Tyra-approved smizing and crossed-over leg (a blogger staple). Le sigh.

I should probably quit while I’m ahead not so far behind.

Also, yes, I am not wearing shoes. Do not fear for my sanity; my boots are just too slushy these days to come into contact with our carpets. *Note to self: clean boots.*
