tomato red? not really

The colors look funky today.  This thrifted Ann Taylor dress is actually a brick red in color.  Not sure red is a spring color, but I was wishfully thinking the cardigan and pink belt make it spring appropriate.

black, white, and pastel

In the early spring, all I seem to want to wear is black and white with a pop of pastel.  Ok, I pretty much want to wear black and white year round, but the pastel thing is definitely Spring talking to me.

 

 I got this dress at Ann Taylor Loft several years ago.  My aunt was with me, and she thought it de-emphasized my bust, where I thought it emphasized it.  Regardless we both loved this dress on me (I loved the color and pattern, my aunt loved the shape).

pink and grey

Pink and grey is one of my favorite color combinations.  I especially love it in the spring.  This skirt is a year round skirt (see it styled in winter here) because it is a light weight but a dark color palette.

This will be a busy week, so I might struggle to get some posts up.

Sunday Brunch

I enjoyed a delightful Sunday brunch with friends today.  I opted to dress somewhat like ladies who lunch, even though I was having lunch with 2 guys.

Not sure why this picture turned out so grainy, but Sundays are for taking it easy, so no re-shoot.

dressed up Friday

Normally my Fridays are pretty casual.  Lots of meetings or working in my office on a typical Friday.  But this Friday I was giving a talk off campus.

This dress is easy and comfy, so it was an easy choice.  I  bought it with gtiftcards at Target in 2010....it was about the only clothing I bought new that year, and even then it was on a clearance rack.

coral fever

This thrifted coral cardigan (J Crew) is becoming a go-to piece.  It is full on spring here, and thus a summery dress and cardigan were in order. 

I take my pictures using a timer on my camera and crop them.  Today I have out outtake of my doggie checking out what is going on.  You can see my feet in the background (I cropped this picture to highlight my doggie's cuteness).

choice for MJ

Tonight I am going to see Cirque de Soleil's Michael Jackson The Immoral World Tour.  Sorry about the pastey white legs, but it will be in the 80s here today.  This skirt looks awfully short in the pictures, but doesn't feel short.  Oh well, only a lab day teaching wise, so I am not going to worry about the length.
