Sunday Funday

What I Wore: Sunday

I don’t have much to say about this outfit, really. It’s one of my “uniforms”: J. Crew Factory paperbag waist mini + top + belt. And done. You better believe that this is about as comfy as it gets.

You know what I just discovered? This cool watercolour-effect filter on my Mac. Yep, I am about 15 technological years behind. But, hey, look at my bracelet stack! Yep, I’m also about 15 fashion seasons behind, too.

What I Wore: Puddle Jumping

Taking a toddler for a walk during the height of our spring big melt is … a fun idea in principle, very wet in practice. Thankfully, I have my trusty Hunters (how’s that for blatant product placement? it’s okay, I’m not getting paid for it). No, seriously, thank Neptune or whoever is the god of deceptively-small-looking-but-in-reality-two-feet-deep puddles. I am fairly dry in this picture, though perhaps more frazzled than usual. It was, uh, a windy day? Yeah, let’s go with that.

Speaking of the little puddle-monster himself, I couldn’t even wrangle a picture out of him. “Pretend to like it, buddy,” I whispered. “No way, come hell or high puddle,” responded he, telepathically and by applying a sharp elbow to my gut.

Oh well.

Pop! Of! Colour!

What I Wore: Shopping, etc.

Y’all know I love red as an accent colour, so my first instinct is always to overload on it. But I was reading an article on French style recently, and the recommendation was to limit accents to one piece rather than a half dozen (it’s like the author read my mind!). In this case, my Old Navy t-shirt already has a bit of red in it, so I just added a belt. And red lipstick, because I feel 120% more chic wearing it. But! I refrained from adding any other red accessories, like a bag.

But, but! After peeking at this picture on my iPhone, I decided the “elephant grey” bag wasn’t cutting it … so I went with my red MbMJ Teri tote. It was just lying right there! It was too easy! Alright, alright, I admit failure.
