mild costume change

I wore this recently on a Friday. Nothing too fancy - just a button up and a chambray skirt.

And after work, I did a quick costume change to meet up with a friend for one of these.

Bright pink shorts in place of the skirt. A bit more appropriate for a casual Friday afternoon beer with an old friend. Thinking I need to do that again - and soon!

bragging rights

I don't mean to brag, but I think my legs look pretty good in this skirt and these wedges. I've been training for my half marathon and I like to think it shows. But maybe that's all in my head...

This skirt is shorter than what I'd wear to work, so don't worry, Mom - this skirt didn't go to work. I wore pants on the job site, but changed into this when I got home. Something about pants in the summer heat makes me so uncomfortable. Blegh.

shirt: Aéropostale

skirt: from a friend

wedges: Target

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?

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

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 :)

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!

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.

Be sure to check out Aéro’s new collection, AERO NOW, which launched just a few days ago, on Monday, the 28th.
