The Day I Wore Shorts to Work

1. I have been looking for the perfect pair of brown shorts of an appropriate length for a year now.

2. Remember this outfit from last summer? It was envisioned as shorts… it took me a year to bring this outfit dream to fruition!

3. Apparently I am someone who wears shorts to work. (Trust me, I work in a very casual environment and even in shorts, I tend to be the most dressed-up person there…)

4. Apparently I also couldn't open up my eyes this morning… I'm not a morning person… You know that saying "But first, coffee?" Well, for me, it's more like, "But first, noon."

5. These are my favorite shoes as of late, but they've basically become unwearable… just like another pair of d'orsay flats I have, they are so stretched out they won't even stay on my feet! I have put 2 heel backs inside, but I'm not sure if that made it better or worse! Does anyone else have this problem with d'orsay flats?! HELP!

Ode on a Grecian Print

When I saw this blouse, I fell instantly in love with it! The print reminds me of some beautiful vintage china, a Grecian urn, and the sky blue/white color palette makes me long for a vacation on Capri or Santorini. A girl can dream, right?

P.S. Did you all read my big announcement Friday? I'm starting my own Styling Business! Spread the word!

(California) Winter Woes

I'm sure you've all heard of the polar vortex plaguing the nation. Well... Southern California was hit by our own version of the polar vortex recently... 4 straight days of pouring rain. I know, I know - terrifying. I'm kidding, of course, but seriously, this outfit only lasted so long, until on the way out of my door, I stepped ankle-high into a deceptively deep puddle, and had to return home to temporarily change into rain boots simply to get to my car. Like I said... terrifying. Nevermind my brand-new umbrella blowing backwards and upside down into the wind and having to reshape its wires back to normal on my way home. Terrifying.

All Navy, All Week

One fun perk about the #sublife? You can wear the same outfit 3 (or maybe 5...) days in a row, and no one will notice! If you're at a different school everyday, and you aren't seeing any of the same people, you can totally rock the same outfit repeatedly. I changed this one up on a couple of days and added some booties and a scarf, but you get the idea. This shirt is just so comfy I couldn't bear to take it off. And hey... I may even wash it...

Polka Dots + Purple Pants

This outfit is a little odd to me, as it is kind of a business-casual combo. The lavender jeans don't exactly scream "professional," but paired with this structured blazer and ladylike flats, they seem to work for the office! (Or in my case, the classroom!) It was kind of a double monochromatic look, split at the hips. Pastels below the waist, navy up top. All-in-all, this look is a little bipolar. Oh well... we all have to experiment with our fashion sometimes!

Little Black Dress & D'Orsay Flats

I have to admit, I've been searching for something to say about this outfit for the past couple days, and I'm coming up a little blank. How much is there to say about an LBD? I guess I'll just shoot the breeze with ya!

This dress is really easy and comfy and has a cool texture. I belted it to be a little more flattering. Plus, I love these d'orsay flats. I was kind of unsure about d'orsay flats when they first came on the scene, but the more I saw Chelsea wear hers, the more I wanted my own pair! When Clinton Kelly pinned these bad boys, and I saw that they came in so many colors, I realized I'd found the d'orsay jackpot! I mulled over my color choice for a bit and finally chose this blush-colored pair... I am definitely fiending for more, but I'll try to hold out for little while longer. ;)

I totally apologize if this bored anyone half to death haha. What do you do to cure "bloggers block?"
