Could it BE any more humid?

Today is a day when you just want to be inside because the moment you walk outside the sweat starts dripping all over! And summer isn't even technically here yet!

We made a couple stops this morning after yoga: (well, actually we were going to Williams Sonoma, but since Anthro is right next door I couldn't resist going in!).

I am super excited for this store to open. Besides windown shopping for clothes, I love window shopping for cute paper goods!

I really should not enter this store because I never leave without buying something. I was actually a nice girl and bought the hubs a new pair of yoga shorts and I got myself a pair of yoga pants (at least they were on sale!).

Remix anniversary

dress: Gap
shoes: Life Stride
earrings: gift
shades: Dsquared
bag: Gucci

One year ago this date, I posted my first wardrobe remix to Flickr. I didn't start blogging my outfits regularly until this year really and now it's become a mild obsession!

top: from Italy
shorts: Gap
shoes: Gucci
earrings: gift
bracelets: gifts

This is what I wore. I wouldn't say that my style has changed all that much over the last year but I am definitely wearing more color as well as less jeans (I don't think I've worn a pair since April!). I am also appreciating a good belt much more as well. And since I have been wearing regular clothes to work as opposed to scrubs I have been definitely taking advantage of the contents of my crowded closet.

My friend's birthday party last night was great. I took over 200 photos in the span of about 5 hours...I hope they like the snaps!

Debut

My new bag is so pretty I am almost afraid to use it...so I decided to bust it out today, a Saturday that I have to work, just to make up for the having to work part.

top: Libery of London for Target
pants: Gap
shoes: Geox
earrings: gift
belt (unseen, but necessary to hold pants up!): Gap
bag: Gucci

I have worn this outfit before, but with different shoes. I really didn't want to wear these flats, even though the Summer Black-Out allows for black accessories, but I don't have any other matching flats. Unfortunately I can't wear cute heels to work today because my clogs from yesterday have given me a blister on my right toe and any undue pressure causes it to hurt even more. The things we do for fashion...

Last day!

top: Jovovich-Hawk for Target
pants: J. Crew
shoes: Via Spiga
earrings: James Avery
necklace: Tiffany's
belt: Banana

I didn't think I could do it, but I did. Only 5 items of clothing in 5 days. I guess this means I really shouldn't be doing any more shopping!

I'm think I may see a little family resemblance! The peanut is growing into his personality more everyday. I almost forgot to get back to work during lunch yesterday because we were having so much fun!

Day 4

top: J. Crew
skirt: Old Navy
shoes: Nine West
necklace: Martin+Osa
tights: Hue

I am glad most of the clothes I picked for this challenge are machine washable...so even though they are being repeated, at least they are clean!

So, here comes my confession...

...
a new bag!

Isn't she a beauty?

I admit, I am a sucker for a fabulous designer bag. I don't mind shopping at Target and Old Navy for my clothes, but a nice bag goes a long way. This bag is made even nicer by 1) being on sale (yes, Gucci has an annual sale in June!) and 2) being friends withe the GM of our Gucci store here in H-town! So this beauty is in my grabby hands for 65% off original retail. Granted, she's still not cheap, but I will love her forever!

Day three

top+pants: J. Crew
shoes: Talbot's
earrings: gift'd
belt: Martin+Osa

Random thoughts for today:
1. I'm am kind of liking the limited wardrobe choices...makes getting dressed in the morning a snap!
2. Full caffeine coffee is a much better eye opener.
3. It feels like a sauna outside.
4. I have a confession to make...later...

Can't wake up

I am feeling extra sleepy this morning...don't know if it's because we woke up super early or I drank more decaf than regular coffee...probably a combination of both!

skirt: Old Navy
shoes: Ann Klein

I'm hoping today won't be too crazy at work but since we had a long weekend I have a feeling it's going to be busy.

2 for 1

In an effort to maximize my wardrobe and minimize my need to shop, I am participating in not 1 but TWO different wardrobe challenges this week!

The first is the Summer Black-Out, hosted by Sal. The challenge is no black clothes from Monday June 7 to Monday June 14. This is actually pretty straight-forward, since summer months typically mean, for me at least, brighter colors in my clothes.

The second is the Summer Capsule Wardrobe, hosted by Jane. I just realized this challenge started on Friday June 4th, so I am behind - oops! Her challenge is a bit more difficult: 5 items of clothing for one week (or in my case, 5 day: from Monday June 7 to Friday June 11) with unlimited accessories and shoes. {ETA: I am not crazy after all; the challenge is really only 5 day 6/7-6/11, so I am right on track!}

I am taking the easy route with this second challenge: I have chosen 3 tops (grey ruffle tank, cream colored blouse and peachy-pink top) and 2 bottoms (brownish pants and brown skirt). All these items have been previously worn. Hopefully my peeps at work won't notice I am wearing the same things this week!

top and pants: J. Crew
shoes: Life Stride
shades: Tom Ford

Since I am off today, you can bet I will be wearing this outfit again during the week to work, only with dressier shoes.
