Scout Leader of Love

I feel like a scout leader in this outfit:

 Blouse: Old Navy  Cardigan: LOFT (similar)
 Skirt: vintage, thrifted (similar)  Sandals: Isola (similar)

But, not just any scout leader.  The hearts on my vintage Hallmark scarf make me feel like the scout leader of love:

Vintage Hallmark scarf, thrifted  

So, yeah, scout leader of love.  That's a thing right?

I think so.


Happy Wednesday, All!

Knits and Stripes

Man but I love a knit pencil skirt:

In fact, I love them so much that I only have one pencil skirt that is not knit and I only keep it because it's the most beautiful blue ever.  And, in spite of it's gorgeous color, I don't even wear it that much because I prefer the knit skirts.


They are just so darned comfortable.  And so darned easy.

The same is true for this knit bomber.  It's comfortable and easy like a cardigan, but with a less expected silhouette.


Seriously, knitwear is the best.  Especially when paired with a t-shirt.  And doubly especially when paired with a striped t-shirt.

Bomber: LOFT (similar)  Tee: LOFT
Skirt: thrifted (similar)  Sandals: Steve Madden (similar)

For some reason, I am very into stripes lately.


Happy Friday, All!

Blue Plaid

As you all know, I love blue; blue hair, blue shoes, the blues.  I just love blue.  And I love plaid.  Especially for fall.  So, imagine the joy I felt at seeing these blue plaid (blue plaid!) skinnies at Gap:

Not only are they blue plaid, but they're subtle blue plaid.  My thighs and I had a long talk at our last peace summit and they agreed I could wear plaid as long as it wasn't screaming-70s-leisure-suit plaid (their words, not mine).  Happily, these pants fit that bill nicely.

Pants: Gap   Top & Cardigan: LOFT  Shoes: Nine West

So nicely that I heard nary a peep from my thighs while I was wearing these.  And that's kind of a big deal because my thighs consider almost everything I wear as a casus belli.

Happy Monday, All!

Pencil Midi & A Bomber

Today's post was inspired by Angie's post on midi pencil skirts & bombers on You Look Fab the other day.  I think I was most inspired by this idea because I actually own a pencil midi and a bomber jacket and I figured I may as well wear them together.  So I did:

As you can see, my bomber "jacket" is actually a cardigan:

But that put this look more into my comfort zone.  I can't image I'd get as much use from, say, a satin or leather bomber jacket.  And, I honestly think the silhouette is what matters with this look, not the fabrication.

And I think I got the silhouette right:

The shoes might be a bit heavy, but I'm obsessed with these darned Splendid boots and plan on wearing them whenever possible until it gets up to about 80.  You've been warned.

Happy Thursday, All!
