Spring Green

Spring is in the air...and in my outfit.  We will be in the 80s this week....Yuck!  But at least I get to pull some of my spring/summer dresses out of the back of the closet. 

This outfit works today on many levels....it is easy, it is spring-like, and it has green for Everybody, Everywear.

Guest post

Today my first ever guest post is running over on Effortless Anthropologie.  Check it out here!

So my little doggie was trying to engage me in play while I snapped this outfit photo....so you get a nice picture of her rear end.  This Target dress was thrifted new with the tags still on.  I haven't worn it in a while, but it was a perfect fit for my mood today.

Today is the last day of spring break....so sort of depressing to realize all I didn't accomplish.  But that is par for the course when it comes to Spring Breaks.  The cardigan is from the Talbot's outlet, the belt is from a shirt, and the shoes are from Payless.

spring is in the air

It is definitely starting to feel like spring down here in the South.  Softball leagues and gardening are becoming weekend activities.  I haven't worn this dress is a long time for two reasons: 1) in needs ironing after a wash and 2) it makes a lot of noise when I walk.  But it seemed like an appropriate choice for a day in early spring.

The dress was thrifted at Goodwill, as was the pale green cashmere cardigan.

why I wear heels

I love my heels.  Snapping a casual photo of what I wore to a weekday dinner and movie with a friend reminded me why I love heels......

1. Heels make me taller.
2. Heels help me reach things (like cabinets and the chalkboard)
3. Heels make my legs look awesome
4. And as the picture illustrates, heels help me from slouching and improve my posture.

 As you can see my casual outfits are pretty boring.  They are almost always jeans, t-shirt and cardigan.  Sometimes I switch a turtleneck sweater for the cardigan.  This outfit is all second hand (except shoes which were kids size on clearance for $5).  The sweater is Ann Taylor via Goodwill, shirt is Banana Republic via Goodwill, and the Jeans are White House Black Market via Ebay.

March showers

While yesterday was sunny and in the 70s, today is rainy and in the lower 50s at best.  I actually like grey and rainy days, and I especially love dressing for grey and rainy days.

Skirt is via Goodwill ($2.99).  The tee and cardigan are from the Talbot's Outlet.  The tights were clearance at Kohls, and the boots are from GoJane.com.  Happy Rainy Friday!

length challenged

I bought this White House Black Market skirt off of Ebay, and despite the measurements being posted, I expected this skirt to be shorter than it is.  I was anticipating an a-line above the knee.  Given the pattern on this skirt, it would look funny shortened, thus I have been putting off wearing this skirt because I think the length is awkward on me.

The cardigan is Ann Taylor ($3.79 at Goodwill 2 years ago) and the t-shirt is Talbot;s (via outlet for $4.21).  There is a consignment sale near me in a few weeks that I have been using to help me clean out the closet.  Should this skirt go to the consignment sale or stay in my closet?
