Mint and Cream OOTD

April 27, 2015

Another day-off look for errand-running around town and a doctor’s appointment. I think the reason that I don’t own sweatpants is that I don’t want to be given the option to wear them when I feel uninspired. It feels so much better to show up to places and run in to people I know wearing a cute, composed outfit (heels optional) and a little makeup on my face. A quick hop on to Pinterest, Lookbook or Like To Know It and I’ve got more ideas than I can handle and my wardrobe options seem limitless!

Carmen Marc Valvo Midi Dress

April 24, 2015

I’m still undecided on this one! It was a recent rental from Rent the Runway, and I guess I expected it to be more youthful based on the pictures online.. I tried to bring a little fun to the look with gold chain jewelry and these burgundy heeled booties. The material of the dress has that drapery-chic sheen to it, but the print is really pretty and I adore the colors. The length is perfect for me, but I seem to be lacking a bit of generosity in the bust department to make the dress it’s most flattering (there was some extra fabric up top). The other thing is where I would wear it to.. Too fancy for brunch or work, a bit too much of a look for a date, and not quite glam enough for a nighttime event. A daytime shopping event would be perfect, because even though the shoes feature one of the highest heels that I own, they’re actually pretty comfortable!

Cobalt Floral Midi OOTD

April 20, 2015

Love love love this super colorful look! The heels are nice and comfortable and still give me a bit of height, and the skirt has that lovely excess of fabric that makes me want to twirl around while walking down the street.. Which might garner me some odd looks, so I’ll probably restrain, but I can still picture it! I would love to be able to wear this to work, but they have this dumb (in my opinion) rule about not wearing t-shirts, no matter how dressed up they are, so I’ll save it for running errands and brunch.

Black Head to Toe OOTD

April 17, 2015

Never doubt the slimming and chic effect of an all-black ensemble! I wanted something unfussy for a night out with some friends, unfortunately, these new shoes from Sam Edelman did not fit the bill. They’re insanely cute, but amazingly painful, even after about 10 minutes! I thought I could hang in there but right after I was done taking a couple shots, I whipped them off and switched into some ankle booties to save myself. After all, I hate to be the girl who can’t get out and dance because her shoes are killing her feet!
