Merry Happy.

You know how they say you learn something new every day? Well, the older I get, the more I know this to be true. I just learned that the 12 days of christmas start at christmas, and continue for 4 days AFTER. So therefore, I don't have to feel bad about being late in wishing you a merry christmas and happy holidays.

MERRY happy. I'm mixing my adjectives just like I'm mixing my patterns.

Lunch Time

Let me tell you about my yesterday. Or really, just my lunch break which is arguably the most important part of the (work) day. After eating my usual, I zipped into Forever 21 for a quick look around. Since F21 is never quick, I limited myself to scarves and jackets. I quickly found a can’t-live-without-it scarf AND jacket. But, in an effort to be “responsible” I sadly left the jacket and took home my cheaper than lunch scarf.

With a few minutes to spare, I decided to do a bit of blog browsing. And there is was- the JACKET. On one of my favorite bloggers, looking just as good as I thought it would. That must be a sign to go back and buy it, right? Hmm, my pocket book seems to be in disagreement. decisions. decisions. 

Red Cheer

Do you ever wake up and think "it's a red pant kind of day!" No? I guess it's just me then. Since it's December and these pants are red, I've taken to calling these my Christmas pants*. Clever, I know. It's hard not to be cheerful when you look down and see these red pants. So I'll be off spreading cheer today, one leg at a time.  

*(you can bet money that in February these will be my Valentine pants.) 

the pink scarf

Hello again. I've missed you. I finally found a break from the rain (and a break from life) to snap a few outfit photos. Things have been busy lately. If you've ever had that feeling where your whole world gets turned upside down, then we've got a lot in common. My world still feels askew, but I am adjusting to a new normal, and learning to plan around the unexpected. 

And despite life's changes, I still get dressed everyday! So that's good news for this little blog. Now I just need to get my camera back on board with the outfit photos. I also need to get the weather back on board. After I snapped this set, I had to go straight to rain boots because these suede boots were not happy about the rain. But my favorite pink scarf was happy- because it's cozy and warm and can handle the cold and the rain. And yes, I just applied feelings to my accessories. (And it's only Monday). 

Back to Basics

Ladies and gentlemen, this is my 100th post. That means I've gotten dressed at least 100 times since April. I'd say that's a pretty great accomplishment. Phew. I might have to take tomorrow off. 

I went back to the basics on this little number. A classic black sweater layered over a light chambray button-up for a chic menswear look. Add in jeans and boots and you've completed the look.
