Look of the Day: Star Top & Neckerchief

Why, hello again! I got what I wished for. It's sunny and almost 70° outside! Certainly not a typical November day, but then again, it is Election Day, so perhaps the sun is getting ready to explode. That way we could just all forget this whole thing. I've only cried a little bit, but I'm sure more tears are in my future. And alcohol. 

I don't own a pantsuit, but I thought little stars on navy blue and some red lipstick were nasty-enough. I just can't believe I got the chance to vote for a woman, from a major party, who has an actual chance to be president. It's going to be a crazy night, no matter what the outcome. Here's to a stronger, happier, America!

Look of the Day: White Swing Blouse & Vintage Spotted Pants

 This, I've realized, is my favorite top right now. I bought it in the Madewell summer sale and wear it far too often. The crisp white cotton, the swing style, the cropped length; one of those tops that even if it looked absolutely terrible on me, I would still be in love. With the spotted cotton pants, it's just the right amount of quirky.

 And, OMG, did you see my new Coach?? I found it at the Goodwill. I've never seen one in this shade. It's like the softest fawn brown leather. My collection is really coming along nicely.

Look of the Day: Denim Shirt Dress & English Tan Coach

Yet another dress I bought with the intention of listing on Etsy, but, instead, have given it a home in my closet. Such a perfect fit in a lovely indigo blue.

Look of the Day: Cozy Brown Cardigan and Black Dress

The generous souls over at Tobi recently approached me to do a review of some of their clothes in exchange for free duds. They offer 50% off your first order when you sign up for emails! Pretty sweet deal, especially since most of their styles are more on the minimalist side, which is what I'm into right now. I wanted a dress, but had a bit of trouble finding things that weren't disastrously short. While I love the look of mini dresses on other people, they're not for me. Plus, I wanted something to wear to work. I settled on True Love Strapless Midi Dress and the Snuggly Mornings Cardigan. The dress looks great but is secretly a mini dress. You really can't move without showing off your underwear because the wrap is only secured in one place: above your boobs. It's basically like trying to wear a towel. I might try it with some little black bike shorts on a day I don't have to work. It's just such a pretty style!

The cardigan I love 100%. It's still a little warm to wear it, but at least I know it'll be cozy once the cold weather arrives! I just adore the color, too.

Look of the Day: Striped Linen Dress & Rust Cardigan

One of my best friends from high school was in town this week, so I took some days off from work and enjoyed a staycation. We went to Golden Gardens on Thursday and, yesterday, had a small potluck with our friends down in Tacoma. Tiana's summer visits are about the only thing I ever plan for during the summer, and they're always special. We've known each other since 3rd grade! It goes without saying, we're pretty comfortable talking about anything. On Thursday, she let me know she wasn't happy with my lack of blog content. I've missed blogging regularly, and I'm happy to have the encouragement. 

Tiana, I know you're reading this. I just spent like 3 hours photographing things I've worn over the past couple weeks, so keep an eye out for more posts!

 This linen-blend dress is on clearance at Old Navy right now!

Look of the Day: Handmade Strapless Sundress

I wish I had bigger boobies so this dress would fit better. If I were in to sewing at all, I'd downsize the bust. Instead, it's for sale in my Etsy shop. How perfect would it be as a prom dress or low-key wedding gown?

Handmade sometime in the 80s or 90s, it features boning, pockets, and a sweetheart neckline. It also comes with a matching belt!

Look of the Day: Corduroy Baby Doll Dress

 I just love this dress. I don't wear it often enough. I'm not a huge fan of corduroy, but sometimes you find that one piece that goes against all your style rules.

Look of the Day: Plaid Shirt Dress

 I fell in love with this dress at Value Village, despite all the repairs it needed. It's from the 1960s, possibly late 50s, and a few of the seams were just falling apart. I overcame my dislike of sewing and repaired them as best I could. We'll see how long they hold up!

Look of the Day: Femme Fatale

This saucy, little number is for sale in my Etsy shop. If I had anywhere to wear it, I would keep it.

Look of the Day: Ridiculous Floral Overalls

Reeee-diculous. These overalls, man. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna cut them into shorts, but still, there's something awkward-cool about leaving them at this length. What do you think? Trevor hates them, obvi.

They'll be listed on Etsy soon.

Look of the Day: Leopard Print Skirt & Pastel Peplum

 This ruffled top I found in the Anthropologie sale is the first purple thing I've ever bought based on the fact that it's purple! It's barely purple, but it still counts right? I love the loose fit and the eyelet detailing. It looks so cute with jeans and all shades of brown and blue.

How would you style it?

Look of the Day: little old lady

My hair has kind of gone over the platinum edge and is now is blue-gray country. I quite like it. I was feeling cheap, so decided to dye it myself, instead of going back to my stylist. She told me "I hope it doesn't turn orange!" She was WRONG. It's blue. Shows what she knows!

I am now, head to toe, the same color as my apartment building. Hurrah. I should use my property manager powers to have them paint the building a cool new color. I have grown weary of this one. It probably won't happen, though.
