30 for 30: day 13 + day 14

And here we are at Friday. Finally! Two outfits to share today, in honor of this special occasion (it's almost the weekend).

I happened to wear this skirt two days in a row, and with a button-up both times.

Boring, or incredibly original and unexpected?

Happy Thursday - we're slowly heading towards the weekend. It's sure been a doozy.

I've got big plans to check out the Lilly for Target Line with some girlfriends first thing on Sunday morning, so the weekend can't get here quickly enough.

metallic sandals: Target

day 12

Rocksbox, part two

Remember when I told you about my first set of pretties from Rocksbox a few weeks back?

If not, you can refresh your memory here. 

Got it?

Now that we're all caught up,  I received my second set of pretties from Rocksbox and

have been wearing them a lot.

Really often.

Almost every day.

Especially the earrings - they're like mini disco balls. And I love 'em.

earrings: Urban Gem Pavé Ball Studs in Gold

And the necklace straddles this perfect line between a delicate necklace, and a statement necklace. Difficult to do, and lovely to behold.

necklace: Gorjana Roya Collar Necklace

bracelet: Margaret Elizabeth Teardrop Bangle in Navy Quartz

I'm on the fence, but these earrings might become part of my permanent collection.

Methinks I need a present after my upcoming race in a few weeks...

30 for 30: day 10

day 10

What's better than a black and white buffalo plaid flannel shirt? Wearing that shirt with a red and gray buffalo plaid blanket scarf. Not sure why I haven't paired these two together before, but I'm digging the print mixing and duplicate buffalo plaid (not quite sure what to call wearing two variations of the same print, one on top of each other...).

And yes, I know it's spring, but we've had a few chilly days sprinkled in with our 70 & sunny days. Such is life in the springtime.

white & black button up: Old Navy

black cardigan: Maurice's

red buffalo plaid blanket scarf: WalMart

gray skinnies: c/o Aéropostale

black ankle booties: Kohl's

30 for 30: day 8 + day 9

You guessed it - two outfits in today's post. That's what Mondays are for, right?

day 8

A cream sweater, pink infinity scarf, skinnies, and sandals. Nothin' too fancy, just somethin' pretty simple. But I WAS having a great hair day, so that ups the ante of this casual look, methinks.

cream-colored top: American Eagle

skinny jeans: c/o Aéropostale

pink scarf: gift

metallic sandals: Target

necklace: Old Navy

day 9

Unintentionally, most of the pieces in this look came from J. Crew Factory. I guess some pieces from the same store just go together really well. It's like they design the clothes that way or something ;)

sleeveless blouse: J. Crew Factory

polka dot cardigan: J. Crew Factory

wine colored pencil skirt: J. Crew Factory

black booties: Kohl's

30 for 30: day 7

This dress is a recent addition to my closet. It was picked out by someone other than myself (hint: in the picture below) for an occasion where someone may or may not have turned one year older. He likes to get me a Lilly Pulitzer dress for said occasion, and in years past, it's been something a bit fancier. However, I don't get tons of wear out of them, so this year he opted for something a bit more casual that I can wear to work.

And he did a pretty bang up job, don't you think?

It was a given that I would include it in my 30 for 30 this go-round.

And of course I styled it with some of my favorites - my Frye boots, crossbody bag, and faux leather jacket.

Oh oh, and fancy new sunglasses.

Those aviators make this girl pretty happy.

dress: Lilly Pulitzer

boots: The Frye Company via Nordstrom

bag: thrifted

sunglasses: Smith Optics via The Eyes Have It

faux leather jacket: c/o Aéropostale

30 for 30: day 6

A few weeks ago, some girlfriends got together and brunched. Then they shopped. Then the out-of-towners headed home, and the local girls barbecued and created funny commentaries.

Before, during, and after dinner, I loved on my friend's sweet sweet dogs. One was even lucky enough to be featured in my blog pictures. His name is Marley. He is the biggest softy who just can't get enough loving and attention, much like my own pups. We are best friends.

And the above outfit is what I wore to brunch, shop, eat, love on sweeties, and crack myself up - it was a pretty great Saturday.

pink sleeveless blouse: H&M

black skirt: from a friend

black flats: Target

ikat print scarf: WalMart

statement necklace: WalMart
