Wind and Rain and Pleats

Today's look was supposed to be all about this pleated skirt:

But, it was hijacked by the wind and rain:

I mean, I tried my best to maintain my composure, but trying to keep this skirt in check just made me laugh:

It's too bad really, because this print really is great when it not being blurred by wind and rain:

See?  Such a great print when in focus.



And perfect with this navy sweater:

Skirt: thrifted vintage  Sweater: Gap
Necklace: LOFT (similar)  Boots: Enzo Angiolini

Happy Wednesday, All!

It's All Love

Or, I guess I should say, it's all hearts:

Sweater: thrifted vintage  Blouse: LOFT (similar)
Pants: Gap  Boots: Franco Sarto "Eminent"

Really, it is.  The design on both my sweater and my blouse are hearts:

The sweater is vintage (I removed the arms) and the blouse is LOFT:

And they were surely meant to be; otherwise I wouldn't look so damn happy about it.  (Just kidding, I totally would).



Happy Monday, All!

Color Blocked

As much as I like this thrifted, color blocked sweater, I never wear it.  Because it is really, really hard for me to style with anything but jeans.  But, I think I may have finally figured it out with today's outfit:

Now, my jean wearing has been severely curtailed at my new job (boo!) but this sweater is wool and very, very warm so I feel like winter in Pittsburgh is it's time to shine.  So, eventually, I decided to try it with a suede skirt.


And I really do think it works:

Sweater: thrifted vintage (similar)  Skirt: thrifted vintage (similar)
Tights: WalMart  Boots: Michael Michael Kors (similar)

But, just in case it didn't, you can see that I added some fun, patterned tights to distract people from my sweater.



And I think that's the real takeaway here, Folks; when in doubt about your top, distract people with your legs.


Happy Friday, All!

It's Not Terrible

I really like this outfit because it combines two of my favorite things; graphic prints and bright colors:

Or, rather a graphic print and a bright color, but you get the point.



Also, is there any color that looks better than red with black and white?

I think not.  I mean, all brights work with black and white.  And cobalt is pretty great with graphic prints, but even I, a life-long lover of cobalt, think that red is just the perfect compliment to graphic black and white.

Skirt: LOFT (similar)  Tunic: Banana Republic (similar)
Tights: SPANX  Boots: Franco Sarto "Eminent"

I guess what I'm saying is that red, well, it's not terrible.

Happy Wednesday, All!

Same Print, Different Scale

So, the other day I ordered a floral blouse from Nordstrom Rack.  Soon after, I was in Sephora, which out here is housed in a JC Penney, and I spotted what looked like the same floral print.

And it was the same print, just on a different scale and in skirt form.  So, of course, I immediately purchased said skirt and promptly wore both pieces together:

See?  Same print, different scale:

Also, studded boots.



Because I figure that if you happen to find two items in the same print but a different scale, you're practically obligated to wear them together:

Blouse: Wayf via Nordstrom Rack  Skirt: JC Penney
Turtleneck: Gap Tights: SPANX  Boots: Ash (similar save, splurge)

Right?  Right.

Now, unfortunately, I can't find either the top or the skirt online, but I've picked some coordinating pieces below that I think would be pretty great together.


Happy Monday, All!
