Win-win-win

This outfit is something I threw together in an early morning haze. I added the belt to add some shape to this comfy dress. It's pretty great for wearing to work - sleeves, hits at my knees, pockets, and doesn't require any special slips or bras.

Win-win-win.

dress: Old Navy (thrifted)

belt: thrifted

sandals: Target

Mr. Picks Mondays: White Bulldog

Nothing super special here. Just a white graphic tee featuring a wrinkled sweetie that the Mr. picked out, and some jeans. I knew I'd be on-site this day, so pants were a must. As were close-toed shoes, which I ditched in favor of sandals as soon as I could :)

shirt: J. CREW Factory

Mint & Navy. Again...

Apparently I'm really into mint and navy together lately (here and here).

They just look really good together, mmk?

Happy Friday!

mint jeans: Lauren Conrad via Kohl's

AERO NOW and more America

Obviously the 4^th of July has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean being patriotic is no longer cool. I’ve worn this flag-print scarf twice since the 4^th – once here, and once with an outfit that was unintentionally patriotic (happy coincidence, though). I needed a little something to dress up this plain white tee and dark bermudas (both from Aéropostale), and this new scarf from Aéro was calling my name. I work in an office, and sometimes it can get chilly in there with the A/C, so I can get away with a scarf for at least a little bit of the day. However, I did eventually have to head a hot construction site, so off came the scarf, and on went jeans and close-toed shoes and my hard hat.

Womp womp.

AERO NOW and Minty-Teal Plaid

This plaid shirt from Aéropostale has quickly become a new favorite in my closet – it makes me wonder “How often is too often to wear this?” It’s not like jeans or shoes that you can wear repeatedly without fear of getting called out for wearing the same thing over and over. It’s bright minty-teal, with fun lace-detailing on the back, so it stands out. I’ve got a lot of clothes, so I guess I feel silly when I wear the same thing twice (or more!) in quick succession. Not sure why – if I like it, I should wear it, and everyone can…a-hem, get over it...and stop making Western jokes...

Right? 

We’ll go with that…

AERO NOW & Arrows

look at that handsome face

I’ve never really been one to wear  motifs or symbols, like arrows, birds, owls, or peace signs. I do have the occasional piece with something on it, and I do have three pairs of bow earrings, but these types of clothes/accessories aren’t usually something I seek out or have  a lot of in my wardrobe.

Enter this lightweight tank from Aéropostale with an arrow print. I saw it in the store, and decided on a whim to try it on. And what do you know? I liked it so much it came home with me! Obviously I went with a casual pairing today, but I’m thinking maybe with a skirt? Or under a cardigan or blazer when we’re thrown back into Arctic temps this winter? Or possible next weekend to see Kacey Musgraves in concert? A subtle nod to "Follow Your Arrow," perhaps...

Be sure to check out Aéro's new collection, AERO NOW, launching in stores tomorrow, the 28th of July.
