In Between

Today I'm wearing an in between outfit due to our in between weather:

It's not cold, per se, but it's raining.  And it's not warm, but they've turned on the air conditioning in the office, I guess because it was warm yesterday?  I don't even know.


All I know is that somehow a maxi with sleeves and ankle boots, with bare legs but with a scarf, makes perfect sense.


Even my booties fit the in between theme:

The color and the perforations make them seasonally appropriate, but they still help keep my feet kind of warm.

Dress: v. old Nordstrom Rack (similar sleeved, similar sleeveless)
Scarf: Victory Garden Yarn Skipjack Cowl  Booties: Vince Camuto "Campina"

Because on these in between days, I don't need to be kept warm-warm, just kind of warm.


Happy Friday, All!

Hidden Magenta

I don't have a hidden agenda with this post:

But, I do have some hidden magenta:

Yep, I wore pretty magenta sandals with this, but you can't hardly see them unless I do stuff like this:

And when I do stuff like that, I sometimes fall over (as occurred in the right-hand photo above).


Also, no, my shoes don't "match" my jacket:

But they "go" fabulously:

They add a bit of interest, but aren't completely discordant.


Also, they're really tall, which I need with this dress because even in four-inch wedges, this dress is almost too long for me:

That's a nice, rare problem to have.

Dress: LOFT  Jacket: vintage, thrifted
Sandals: Cole Haan  Earrings: gifted (similar)

Happy Thursday, All!

Late Spring Layers

On Monday, it was 91 degrees here in PA.  In two days, it dropped 30 degrees and we're now in the high 50s, low 60s.  I don't mind though.  One, the heat is NOT a dry heat; in fact, it is a sweaty, gross heat that makes me sad.  And two, it gives me the opportunity to pull out some late spring layers:

The layer I'm most excited about is this cream moto:

I got a great deal on it because I bought it super late in the season, but that also meant that it was basically too late in the season to wear it much.  So, when the temperatures dropped, I knew I had to take the opportunity to break it out.

Happily, it worked out quite nicely with my not-quite-a-maxi dress and my suede boots:

Unhappily, I think it'll be the last time it makes it onto the blog for awhile; I believe we're supposed to be back up to 80 by this weekend.  Hot, sweaty 80.  Yuck.


Happy Thursday, All!

Pajama Day

My favorite thing about maxi dresses, especially knit ones, is how much they feel like pajamas:

They're not particularly flattering, at least not this one, but I'll be darned if they aren't comfortable.  Especially when paired with a cozy knit moto:

I didn't have "Pajama Day" in elementary school when I was younger, but my nieces and nephews have it and it seems like great fun.  Or, if not fun, then at least really, really comfortable.

Dress: Gap (similar)  Jacket: LOFT (similar)
Scarf: Old Navy (similar here, here or here)  Flats: Old Navy (similar)

Maybe they should have Pajama Day at work too.  I'd support that.  And afternoon naps.  I'd totally support naps.


Happy Friday, All!
