Random roundup

If you're as lucky as the husband, you're already enjoying your long weekend! I do still have to work today, but I'm definitely enjoying having Monday off. It feels like I was just writing last year's Memorial Day post! Crazy! But, as always, I've got some randoms to share with you. Have a great holiday!

Jacket: Express (similar) | Necklace: CS Gems | Dress: Express (option) | Heels: BCBG (option)

This jacket seriously goes with everything, and this day, I needed an easy dress to throw on. I love that lace doesn't *look* easy though! And can we talk about second day hair for a second? I don't know how I've gone my whole life up until now washing my hair almost every day. Curling my second day hair is my most favorite thing to do now - it just looks so full and pretty! Not Your Mother's dry shampoo and hairspray are my favorites!

Scarf: Kate Spade | Chambray: LOFTBottoms: American EagleSandals: Jeffrey Campbell

This outfit is a variation of the outfit I wore on the blog here. The outfit base is the same, but it was a bit chilly this day, so the scarf felt more appropriate than a necklace. And these sandals had just arrived the night before and I couldn't wait to wear them! It happens!


Top: Bobeau | Necklace: Kate Spade | Skirt: ExpressHeels: Valentino

So, I've decided that I will buy every single knit midi skirt that Express comes out with. I already have it in the black and white stripe as well as the grey and black stripe. This solid black one is the softest of them all! I realized that a peplum would look really cute with this skirt, so I channeled my inner Peg Bundy (who was in Pitch Perfect 2, btw…) and rocked the combo to work.

Necklace: CS Gems (c/o) | Top: ExpressBag: Tory Burch | Bottoms: ExpressSandals: Sam Edelman

This is the same portofino I'm wearing in yesterday's post here. I love it. It's one of my most favorites for spring and summer. I was pushing the limits on my sandals here. I swear spring is here, but it's not. Just when I think we are clear of the cold, it drops 30 degrees the following day. I still very much love these Gigi sandals - I am craving a third color but can't decide!!

Scarf: Kate Spade | Top: LOFT (option) | Bottoms: Express (option) | Booties: Hinge

And speaking of the schizophrenic weather, this is clearly another one of those outfits. It pained me to whip out my booties for the occasion, but it was cold and rainy, and it just felt like the right thing to do. When all else fails - go for stripes and a color pop. It's an instant outfit favorite, I promise!

  4. I can't wait to SHOP this weekend! So for Gigis you have nude and leopard? I have a mixed metal pair from Target that I wear a ton...and I believe the original Gigis come in a metallic. You might like that. GREAT outfits this week, love that color of portofino and the stripes are so cute. We're having the same weather issues here...it's been a weird month weather-wise!
