Mixed Prints

My boyfriend and I went out to dinner and to see Life of Pi last night.  If you haven’t seen (or read it), I highly recommend both the movie and the book.  It was a beautiful night and one of the first in which we didn’t need to wear coats so I decided to debut my $10 Lauren Conrad blazer.  I’ve been loving the idea of pairing florals with stripes and decided to finally go for it.  I think I could get used to this mixing prints thing.

Casual Everyday

I used to work in a big corporate office.  Everyday besides Friday was business casual. When I moved to my much smaller office, with only one other team member, I kept showing up in my business casual attire.  Since I have a strong distaste for dress pants, every day was a skirt or dress.  That was fine and dandy until it became freezing and I had to wear tights all the time.  Recently, my team member and I decided to put into place “Casual Everyday.”  What is the point in getting all dressed up just for each other?  I am really enjoying wearing jeans to work on a Tuesday.  It’s the little things.DSC_0043 DSC_0022 DSC_0026 DSC_0013 DSC_0038

Edgy

Lately, I’ve been loving everything that has leather detailing.  I’ve also been wanting an army green anorak jacket for a while.  So when I saw this one at Forever 21 for only $40, I had to buy it.  It’s edgy without being too aggressive.  Just what I was looking for.

Busy Weekend

My boyfriend and I had such a busy weekend.  We went to see Swan Lake at the ballet on Friday night, had breakfast with friends on Saturday morning, followed by a wine tasting party that afternoon and an engagement party that night.  It was so busy that we didn’t have one second to take pictures until Sunday, which was mostly spent relaxing…and scooping up a bunch of the Prabal Gurung stuff at Target.

Polka Dots

I think it’s time I admit that I have a problem.  I now have this dress in three different prints and one solid.  My wallet would really appreciate it if J Crew Factory stopped mass producing this dress in adorable prints and having good sales so I feel obligated to buy them.  It’s like I can’t say no.  40% off?  How can I argue with that?  Spend over $75 and get 20% off?  Just stop it already, J Crew Factory.
