What I Wore: Library Trip

This is so easy, it almost doesn’t feel like a proper outfit. I’m almost embarrassed to throw it up on this supposed style blog. Almost. I have no shame. (As evidenced by the fact that the archives from 2012-2013 are still available for your perusal.)

So yeah, this outfit. So easy. I can basically throw pretty much any top under this dress and it works. I consider it one of my “uniforms”, and I plan on working it till this J. Crew dress falls apart. I don’t consider that clothes are really an investment, but a piece like this is as close as it gets. My only regret is that it isn’t 2-3 inches longer, so I could wear it to work without qualms. Boo.

What I Wore: Friday Morning Errands

No surprises here: I couldn’t wait to wear my new striped top from the Gap Factory store. Now, a peplum is probably not my hips’ best friend, but it makes a plain striped tee a little more interesting. Since this was a clearance rack find (of course), it’s the (slightly) wrong size, but I kind of dig the loose, flowy vibe, and it makes for a great eating-out top; like Joey Tribbiani, I always think about my comfort when contemplating culinary experiences. You know there is a pair of Thanksgiving-dinner-eating pants somewhere in my closet. And a Christmas-holiday-eating dress. Or two. That’s how I roll.

OK, back to this outfit. It’s basic – which is the disclaimer I feel like I have to attach to the majority of the outfits I post these days – but it fits my current lifestyle so well. Which brings me to this question: am I boring you, guys? Like, for real. Do y’all like to see what I actually wear, or is it too, too suburban-mom-mundane? Things will change in the fall when I head back to work, but in the meantime … are we cool?
