Plum Dotty

Even though it's back to being hot and humid here in the afternoons, you can definitely feel the difference in the air.  Especially in the mornings when it's actually cool enough to warrant pants.

I know.  Pants, people!  Pants!


Plum pants, in fact.  Paired with a dotty, collared top from LTS:

Oh, and because I like to rhyme my clothes, I added some (leopard) spots to go with my dots:

Top: c/o LTS  Earring: Modcloth (similar)
Pants: LOFT  Shoes: Nine West (similar)

Happy Wednesday, All!

Long Tall Houndstooth

This past week or so has been surprisingly, delightfully cool here in Pittsburgh.  So, I took the opportunity to break out a couple of fall items early.  Like these houndstooth skinny jeans:

Blouse: LOFT (similar)  Jeans: c/o Long Tall Sally
Sandals: Steve Madden (similar under $30!)

These jeans are part of the Fall Collection over at Long Tall Sally.  And those fine folks were kind enough to send me a pair to try.


And I'm so happy they did.  I love the plummy color:

And I love the 90s-vibe they have.  I'm kind of excited that the 90s are back in play this fall.  The fashion wasn't as fun as the 80s, but there was a lot of houndstooth.

You can't go wrong with a lot of houndstooth.


Happy Friday, All!

Coral Moto

This coral moto is such a great piece:

It makes every outfit better.  And brighter.  And is beyond perfect for spring.


The texture is great too:

Textured pieces add another layer of interest to an outfit without actually having to add another layer.


But, the best part is the color:

Jacket: c/o Long Tall Sally Jeans: Old Navy
Ankle Boots: Ivanka Trump (similar) 

It's gorgeous and it goes well with colorful shoes.


Happy Monday, All!

The March Farce

Yesterday several bloggers posted about how happy they were that March was here because that means Spring is here.  This is what I posted yesterday:

And this is what I wore yesterday:

Because yesterday Spring in Western Pennsylvania arrived with a day of non-stop snow.  That's right.  Non-stop snow.


And that means I'm still in non-stop layers:

Coat: c/o Long Tall Sally  Sweater: thrifted (similar)  Turtleneck: Lands' End
Jeans: Old Navy (similar)  Boots: Sorel (similar)  Cap: Nordstrom

All the layers, folks.  So, let these photos be a warning to you not to believe the hype.  Don't buy into the March farce.  It's not Spring, it's just winter in a different month.


Happy Monday, All!

Spring-Like

We had a few days of quite spring-like weather here in PA the past couple of days so I took the opportunity to wear a couple of new pieces I received from Long Tall Sally:

Both the jacket and the shoes are some of Long Tall Sally's latest spring offerings and they were perfect for the warmer weather.

Although I am a size 14, LTS runs a little large, so I ordered the jacket in size 12 and it fits perfectly.  I definitely recommend going down a size.  I ordered my usual size, 10 and I'd say they fit true-to-size.  They are also pretty comfortable and I recommend them unless you're going to be doing a lot of walking; they don't have any arch support.  I wore them for running errands but caution against wearing them for actual running.


The jacket is the Textured Biker Jacket in Flame and the texture really is wonderful:

And the shoes are the Iris Cut Out Printed Ballerina and I love that they're a strong, graphic print.  I've been looking for a pair of black and white printed shoes for quite some time now, so I was thrilled to get these.


I paired the jacket and the shoes with a striped shirt, skinny jeans and green stud earrings:

Shirt: Banana Republic (similar)  Jeans: Gap
Earrings: Kate Spade New York

Why green earrings?  Well, because sometimes the best colors are complimentary colors.  I didn't make that up either; that's Science, Folks.


Happy Wednesday, All!
