daily outfit: the “May 8th-still dressing like fall” edition.

today’s high in Indy is 70-some degrees & while I should dress to match the weather,

i will be indoors all day & therefore find comfort in lightweight layers & boots, always boots.

any excuse to wear sale boots purchased after the winter season, right?

daily outfit: the “on snowy days i still wear cute boots” edition.

last night, there was a snow storm in indy.

& while i would have loved to follow that up with an official snow day,

i rather enjoyed the gorgeous commute filled with somewhat patient drivers, the beautiful snow-covered trees, a justifiable stop at Bucky’s & the rather lame excuse to dress up a bit (it had been too long since i wore colored denim).

• Banana Republic sweater
• JCrew button-down
• Express denim
• Frye boots

a little bit of neon & a little bit of lace on this hot, hot day. (Taken with Instagram)

daily outfit: the “mullet shirt” edition.

as i sat down at work, 

i quickly realized that people who would be seeing me from the front-side would think i was wearing red denim & a chambray button-down;

however, 

if i would get up & walk on by,

those same onlookers would see that my top was way more than just a chambray button-down.

thus, a mullet shirt was conceived-

business in the front, party in the back.

you’re welcome, Free People. 

you’re welcome.

• Free People “road trip” shirt
• Express Red Denim
• Frye boots

today was/is for:

• an early morning cardio session while watching the Nanny & Family Matters on Nickelodeon
• related: i forgot how emotional some of the story lines were on Family Matters. this morning, as i was pounding away at the elliptical, i was tearing up as Eddie yelled at Carl Winslow for not believing that he had been assaulted in public. perhaps when TGIF used to be a thing, i was just too young to comprehend society.
• day 2 of bringing peanut butter cheerios to the office for breakfast.
• wearing red pants (Express) rather than opting for classic denim skinnies.
• a side braid that breeds sass
• an owl ring purchased for a couple dollars at Forever 21
• layering (Love Quotes scarf, Primp thermal)- temp @ 6 a.m= 33 degrees. projected temp @ 5 p.m. 68 degrees
• dinner plans with a favorite.
• a decent attitude about life
• headphones on, music on- work will be gettin’ done.

daily outfit: the “sleepy decisions” edition.

somehow, even in my sleepy state of mind this morning,

i managed to pull together a Wildfox couture coral-toned, spotted tee,

an LNA black layering tank,

Express cobalt blue denim jeans,

& grey herringbone with neon accent Toms.

surprisingly, i’m feeling pretty good about it all.

how bout that for a sassy start to this Tuesday?

daily outfit: the “these pants turned my legs blue, but the outfit was so worth it” edition.

yesterday, i wore this get-up for about twelve hours.

when i disrobed at the end of the day, my legs were blue.

but in the midst of the madness, 

i drank coffee,

i ate chocolate chip waffles,

i went into work,

i stalked Austin Collie because i had the opportunity to do so,

i ran into a BFF’s mother,

i giggled about life & all its random happenings,

& most importantly, i was oh, so comfortable with my selection.

daily outfit: the “red pants & animal print make me happy” edition.
