2 Ways - Graphic Tee & Midi Skirt

Sunday, May 20, 2018

I just ruined my average of going a year between ways to wear posts with this back-to-back post. This is what happens when I'm on a roll.

Today's post shows the power of accessories. Two looks that feature the same graphic tee and midi skirt, but each with a distinctive vibe. One is a little dressier with a draped trench and fun heels. The second is decidedly laid-back with an easy cardigan and flats.

'Tis the Season for Spring Scarves

Friday, April 20, 2018

You know when you have too many clothes when:
   1) you don't even realize an item is "missing"
   2) your closet starts to overflow
   3) you start buying duplicates of something you already own

Luckily #2 and #3 haven't happened... yet?

#1 threw me for a loop recently. This scarf I'm wearing in today's post is one that I thought I reached for often... but apparently not because I looked everywhere before realizing it's in my "dry clean" pile. I'm embarrassed to admit that pile has grown to a small molehill since I haven't made a trip in months. No excuses here; it's pure laziness on my part. I think I just needed the push from the warmer weather recently.
