a pop! of pink

I have enjoyed remixing my neutrals this week, but I really have been dying to wear some color, namely pink, of course. This velveteen blazer was an impulse purchase from the Armani Exchange store when we were in Las Vegas some years back and I am so glad I bought it.



And nothing makes for a better layering piece than a classic black and white striped tee.

I am in a bit of denial that Christmas is only 15 days away. Gotta get working on those gifts!

Just a little

top&tights: Loft
boots: Nordstrom Rack
earrings: Collingnon Designs
belt: Gap

These boots are the only real cognac-colored item I own so I had to make do with this challenge. And yes, I am wearing the same top and tights as yesterday; that's the beauty of doing laundry!

This week has seems interminable. I am glad I took tomorrow off from work to get a bit of a break!

P.S. I have been a bit slack on reading and commenting on blogs this week. I hope to get caught up over the weekend!

A tale of the traveling skirt

top&tights: Loft
cardi: M+O
skirt: gift'd
belt: Anthro
boots: 9West
earrings: gift'd
necklace: Collingnon Designs

This skirt came to me all the way from the UK! Jane, one of the dearest bloggers I "know" and one of the original people who started supporting and following my ridiculous blog, was giving it away and I won! The generosity of this community never ceases to amaze me.


I was actually afraid I may not be able to wear the skirt because of its thick fabric (would this be considered tweed?), but with the newly cold winter-like weather we have been experiencing this week, it was perfect! I had to include this photo because this is the face of a cold fashion blogger who didn't want to take a photo with her jacket because it didn't match. :)

I may have to rethink what I am wearing today...

Shades of gray

I have always wondered why you can spell gray/grey 2 different ways and if one is more correct than the other. I have not really cared enough to look it up so if anyone has a quick explanation, I'd appreciate it!


Over the week, my hair was trimmed by a different hairstylist who did a pretty good job. And I paired about 10% of what I normally do. Hmmm...I know there is a lesson in here somewhere.

Back to the basics

I am a lover of all things bright and colorful, but sometimes staying neutral can be a good thing. This week Megan and Keely are hosting a neutrals week challenge so why don't you join in on the fun?


Someone commented on my flickr that this look was very mod and beatnik, which, now seeing it, I suppose it is, although I don't feel nearly that cool.


I guess the best thing about a basic black sweater dress is how versatile it can be with the addition of different accessories.
