Layered Prints

I'm wearing layered prints today:

Now, you're probably looking at this and thinking, "Really, Gracey?  A turtleneck and a sweater?  In April?"


To which I'd reply, "Yes, because snow":

That's right, snow.  And quite a bit too.  We had a dusting on Sunday, some people got some Tuesday night, and now this.  And I think it's supposed to snow tomorrow as well.


So, yeah.  Snow.  And layered prints:

Stripes: Old Navy (similar)  Sweater: Vila via ASOS
Belt: J. Crew  Pants: Gap  Boots: Franco Sarto "Eminent"

Because, well, snow.


Happy Friday, All!

Blue Green

I was trying to figure out if these pants are blue or green:

And then I realized that the answer is "yes."


So, I paired them with some blue and some green and some blue green:

Shirt: Gap  Blazer: LOFT (this year's version)
Pants: LOFT  Scarf: gifted (similar)  Boots: Ivanka Trump (similar)

Because what else would you wear with yes-colored pants?


Happy Wednesday, All!

Wind in the Florals

I'm back to another vintage floral dress dress today:

And the weather is back to wind.

Thankfully, I'm also back to tights, or this would have been an unpleasant photo session indeed.  As it was, I barely managed to keep from flashing the school children walking by.  I might look calm and collected in the photos above, but this is what it really looked like today:

At least until the wind died down a bit and I was able to get something a bit better:

Dress: thrifted vintage  Cardigan: thrifted vintage
Belt: thrifted (similar)  Boots: gifted (similar)

And then it started raining and I had to give up entirely.


Happy Monday, All!

Five for Friday: Iced Coffee

For today's Five for Friday, I decided to tackle one of the Pantone colors that I am not all that excited about, Iced Coffee.  This was one of this season's colors that, when announced, I was like, "yeah... but no thanks."  But, I'm working on being an equal opportunity color wearer so I poked around the interwebs for some Iced Coffee items that were wearable to my bright-loving self.

And, I have great news.  There are wearable Iced Coffee items available; items like these:

1. Panacea Smoky Crystal Earrings - So, it turns out that I rather like Iced Coffee, as long as it has a little shimmer and shine like these earrings.

2. eShakti Vine Print Dress - And, Iced Coffee as part of a print is definitely do-able, especially on a midi dress like this one.  The sleeves aren't my favorite, but, it's eShakti, so you can change them if you want!

3. LOFT Linen Cotton Sweater - If I were to ever do a solid piece in Iced Coffee it would be something like this simple, lightweight sweater.

4. Urban Originals Feather Print Scarf - Again, I like this color best in a print and think this pairing with fuchsia and orange is gorgeous.

5. Vince Camuto "Lavette" Booties - This is probably my favorite iteration of Iced Coffee.  If you're looking for a neutral summer shoe, I think these are just perfect.  And on-trend in all the ways.


What about you, Reader Friends?  What are your feelings on Iced Coffee?  Wearable, or just for drinking?


Happy Friday, All!

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!
