post-memorial day, white, and remixing

[previously on] white theory jacket



[previously on] white club monaco pencil skirt



[previously on] white j.crew strapless beach dress



[previously on] white bdg skinny jeans
p.s. i bought these last fall, so they don't even know what summer is yet!

dotty, simple summer dresses, and big hair

[wearing]
dress: C/FAN (about)
sandals: target (exactly)
clutch: mark by avon, gifted (exactly)
bracelets: inpink, gifts








and my hair somehow ended up with super extra volume.  see above for fakish smile and below for reactionary face to hair situation.  oh, and if you like dresses, you still have some time to enter this giveaway and get yourself a new summer frock.

dotty, crazy pants, and new bling

[wearing]
pants: silence+noise
top: forever21
trench vest: forever21 (exactly)
wedges: the webster at target (exactly)
ring: c/o anjolee


creative: crazy pants+ a trench that lost its sleeves.
young: these crazy pants are a bit pajama-ey in both print and material.  the cut and cropped length makes them seem more like grownup pants though.  
professional: recently i've decided that if i add tall shoes and necklaces i can make anything look more grown up. even though this outfit has a lot of casual aspects, i really like the way it came together.

dotty, comfy shoes, and city blocks

[wearing]
dress: shabby apple (similar)
jacket: theory (similar)
scarf: forever21 (exactly)
shoes: tom's (exactly)


[going]
post-work window-shopping/city wandering

dotty, stripes, and dressing up

this dress is really a wee bit too casual for my office, so i dressed it up with a jacket and added some distracting shiny things.  

[previously on] gray jacket

dotty, pearls, and funny shoes

[wearing]
dress: joie
jacket: theory (similar)
pearls: thrifted
cardigan underneath: j.crew (exactly)
bag: banana republic
shoes: candie's (similar)


[going]
celebratory dinner+drinks for my latest registration exam success.  
it's official...i can arrange spaces in a logical fashion.  

dotty, dots, and stripes

[wearing]
stripes: j.crew
dots: thrifted (similar)
boots: target (similar)
belt: forever21
jacket: michael kors
bag: banana republic


creative: stripes and dots all up in each other business.  and since i have a wee bit of freedom in my office dress code, i can incorporate some edgier bits (suede boots, leather jackets, weird chain necklaces) without it being an issue.  
young: i think my four-year-old niece would approve of this shiny bow belt.  
professional: pencil skirt+crew neck sweater seems like a pretty safe work outfit formula.  

a giveaway, pretty dresses, and yes

this another outfit based on a friday poll.  
and i'm pretty excited about wearing dresses and sandals for the next few months.  
even if i have to drink hot cocoa all day at work to avoid shivering in my super over air-conditioned office.  

dotty, last may, and some favorites

    

        

one of the big perks of keeping track of my outfits is that i get to see exactly what i was wearing last spring.  i'm liking all the white and necklaces.  

dotty, blue, and brunch

[wearing]
long blue dress: baby phat, gift (exactly)
bird print tank: forever21
tiny tuxedo jacket: thrifted
cloggish sandals: target
necklace: target


[going]
brunching











and a shadowy shot, just for kicks...

dotty, waitresses, and slippers

[wearing]
white shirt: new york and company (exactly)
black pants: target
leopard loafers that were hidden in yesterday's post: candie's (similar)
bag: zara


creative: there's little bits of personality in this basically plain look...leopard print shoes and a little bow clip attached to the placket of my shirt.
young: the boy thought these shoes were slippers.  i'm sticking with my story that since they have real soles and no fluff or bunny ears that they are meant for the out of doors.
professional: black pants, white shirt.  the uniform of waiters.  and middle school musicians.
