It is amazing how a simple look or trend will start and then explode all over the place. Even after the runways and glossy mags are showing it, we American women cling to it with all our might. The bootcut jean stayed way past its prime, as did the empire waist, the peasant top (well… Continue Reading To Belt or Not to Belt?
Dress: Ann Taylor (bought last spring)Shoes: Sofft Pearls: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (two different necklaces) I had a major pearl kick a couple years ago (seen here and through much of ’06 and ’07).

I am all about quality instead of quantity in ones closet. And I am not ashamed to wear the same thing more than once in a week (uh hello last post!). I am most famous for doing this on weekends – if the clothes aren’t dirty or rumpled, I will re-wear them the next day.… Continue Reading Saturday and Sunday – Nautical Stripes Aug 09, 2010
Friday night I went to the 9:30 Club in DC to see Lionize and Galactic. Went with my husband, sister, my husband’s cousin and two other friends. It was a really fun show.

When my hair dries on its own sans product, it likes to part in the middle and feather out in a really un-cute way. I was short on time so I… Continue Reading Wednesday

Today is an Ann Taylor kid of day… The dress is a black matte jersey number I picked up at Ann Taylor last Spring. It’s a perfect guest at a wedding dress. The matte jersey can be dressed up or down, it’s a urplice neckline, seamed waist, a bit of gathers at the waist which… Continue Reading Monday Aug 02, 2010
Lotsa oldies but goodies in today’s ensemble! The purse is my Banana Republic bag that I bought many years ago. I recently acquired the same one in black from a reader, but this brown one is more… casual/boho and I find it works best for my Casual Friday outfits. The top is from Language Los… Continue Reading Casual Friday
