summatime

It's been a while since my last post and somehow during that time it changed from spring to summer-like weather. No joke, it was 88 degrees today in Washington. I love the heat so this is a welcome change especially after all the snow we had this year. You may or may not notice, I changed my hair color. It's actually a darker copper than what the photos show.
Somehow this simple superficial change was exactly what I needed.

Todays list: theory harem pants, banana republic top, balenciaga fbf, dolce vita sandals with espadrille laces added (honestly it's the only way I can keep these stupid shoes on) and prada shades

hello, spring? are you there?

It is surprisingly nice outside this week. It actually feels like spring might be coming after the most snow we've seen here in years. Apparently the Canada geese agree, I've been seeing and hearing them fly over already. Hopefully nature knows something we don't and spring is coming! The nice weather is the perfect excuse to put away some of my boots and bring out the peep toes. This utterly retro lace top is another hand-me-down. Not a flattering shape, but the lace and high collar so so fun! Also, Neiman Marcus has declared relaxed pants a spring trend. I have to agree with them because at the moment my favs are my harem pants, some loose draw string pants from last post, and some wide casual cargo-ish pants. They are so comfy and soft, it's the perfect transition for me, since I've been so stuck on super soft leggings all winter, I'd hate to be wearing stiff trousers or rigid jeans now.

Today's list: vintage lace blouse, theory harem pants, gap wedge peep toe shoes, aridza bross bag, balenciaga sunglasses, and banana republic gray cardi

a man's world

I bought this coat from the womens section of my thrift store a while back. It was missing some buttons but with some careful button rearranging of the ones that were left, it looks fine now. I love the tons of pockets and epaulettes and herringbone weave on it. It also has a drawstring at the waist to create a more cinched look. I didn't really think about the name tag but I looked at it again and realized it's by Shades of Greige. Funny because it's a trendy menswear company (maybe that's why I was attracted to it!). I love menswear stuff for its utilitarian look. Maybe that's why my new glasses are also technically Prada men's too. They are bigger and boxier than all the womens I found. My boyfriend was also wearing a great thrifted herringbone jacket...which I might have to borrow.

Today's list: thrifted shades of griege coat, theory harem pants, alternative apparel tank, frye boots, balenciaga sunglasses, balenciaga 02 caramel flat brass first

winter winter go away

Wearing two of my fav new items, those theory pants, and fiorentini + baker boots. Am I the only one who wishes the snow would just go away already. I'm so sick of it. This week might warm up a bit, and I don't think I've ever been so happy to hear it will be 45 degrees before. ugh.

Today's list: same pants as last post, fiorentini+baker boots, bal bag and shades, banana republic sweater, loft white denim jacket

the modern suit

I wish I could wear this everyday. Literally. These soft harem pants are wonderful, and with an even softer gray top, it's like wearing pajamas.

Today's list: theory pants, old navy top, thrifted blazer, ysl bag, steve madden boots, balenciaga shades, and world market wooden necklace
