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.

Morning at the Park

Saturday, June 03, 2017

Remember what I said about the potential for sporadic blog posts while I deal with taking the Metro to and from work? Well, that really hasn't been happening. I'm probably posting a tad less frequently, but there hasn't been any prolong gaps between posts. The reason being... I've found a tripod solution in the form of a tabletop version!

Luckily there are plenty of ledges to be found during my commute, so it's almost as painless to set up as my regular tripod. My only must-have criteria during the search was a tripod that could handle both landscape and portrait orientations (turns out this single criteria weeded out most contenders.) The tripod collapses to only 7" in height and is so lightweight that I can easily slip it inside my purse with my other belongings. I've only been using tote-style bags for work because I'm often carrying a combination of laptop + lunch + umbrella + camera. Unfortunately that means all my smaller purses are sitting in my closet collecting dust... but that's a dilemma for another day.

Wearing a spring-like outfit when it's clearly fall? It's not a head scratcher when I pause to recall that temperatures were almost in the 80s yesterday. 80! I'm seriously loving this weather.
