black and blue

Looks like I've worn this exact same look before (here - this past winter). But with different shoes.

Guess I liked it so much I had to repeat it...

or I can't figure out what else to wear this top with. The fit is boxy, so just any bottoms won't do.

*sigh*

Any ideas?

shirt: Ann Taylor

pants: Aéropostale

wedges: Target

30 for 30: Day 20 & Day 21

Day 20

Day 20 was a big day for us...

We closed on our house! Our first house!

We are officially homeowners. Now we talk about things like the HOA, trash pick up, and window treatments. And I'm going to be honest with you, I LOVE it!

I LOVE our house.

I LOVE that this is OUR home.

And most of all, I love the person I share my new home with (and those two little wrinkly dogs).

He's incredibly handsome, smart, funny, and really good at moving furniture and packing boxes (those last two things I am NOT good at, so it's good we have a balance).

So, we bought a house, moved out of our apartment, and are settling in to our new home. That's why I've been absent from this here blog - reasonable, right?

We made a trip to The Home Depot (the first of many), and I got my very own
Homer Bucket for all of our upcoming projects!

Since this was such a big day, I didn't really get outfit pictures, but I wore my black & white striped top, black velvet blazer, olive green skinnies, leopard flats & gray infinity scarf. I wanted to be comfortable, but stylish for our
BIG DAY!

Day 21

I wore this the day after our closing when it was very chilly, so the chambray layered under a wool sweater was perfect. The pants I wore the day before (a symptom of moving) and my hat helps to hide "I-just-moved-and-can't-find-any-hair-stuff-because-it's-all-in-boxes" syndrome. Tell me you've been there, please!

30 for 30: Day 25 & Day 26

Day 25

humidity! love it! NOT. do you SEE the lion's mane that is supposed to be my hair??

that's a flower/weed thing, but it was pretty, so into the line up it went

 Day 26

me & Dad hanging at the pool. I got a wee bit too much sun...

Master of the Grill. just kidding

Wait. Is that the same shirt I wore the day before? 

Yes.

*GASP*

Let me explain. I had been wearing a different shirt and was helping make dinner. Some of dinner (possibly the baked beans) ended up on my WHITE shirt, so I had to make a switch before documenting this outfit for the entire internet to see. But my shorts and hair are different, so, points for that?

PS - my sister in law got FIRST in her cutting competition! So proud of her!!!
