I'm keeping this short and sweet today! No commentary between photos, only because I've been traveling the last couple of days for work, and I'm a bit behind on life and sleep! But I wanted to leave these outfit selfies with you to formally kick off the weekend. Plus, if I don't share these with you, it's like I never wore them!
Ahhh, Friday - everyone else breathing a sigh of relief today? Well, in the spirit of the Friday Randomosity that I seem to be throwing at you guys lately, I decided to do another round up of outfits that didn't quite make the blog and/or that I ended up tweaking when it came down to actually wearing them. I got a lot of great feedback the last time I did this here, so I promise to make this a recurring theme since it was well received. Like last time, I will only link to the stuff where the exact item is still available.
Every time I see this picture, I feel like I should be holding a beer can, standing in the neighborhood and talking to the men on King of the Hill. Haha! And yet, I love everything about this outfit. Camo. Good. Stripes. Good. Leopard. Gooooooood. This was the outfit I wore to car shop in! Oh, speaking of car shopping outfits!
Cardinals Jersey: Jon Jay #19 | Tank: Express | Shorts: JCrew Factory | Bag: Kate Spade | Shoes:Skechers
By the time we decided to get the car, the finance manager was already gone for the day, so we had to come back and sign the paperwork the following morning. We had a Cardinals game to go to a 1pm, so we literally went to buy a car before the game. No big deal.
Necklace: Francesca's | Top:Bellatrix (Nordstrom brand) | Skinnies: 7 for all Mankind | Sandals:Antonio Melani (Dillard's brand)
I love the weather in St. Louis because one day it can be hella humid and in the 90s and the next morning, we wake up to 60 degrees with a high of 78. That's exactly what happened the day I took this wrap top and my Mini Affair out for a spin, so I ditched the skirt for pants. And I don't know about you, but I feel like wedges look best with skinny pants or shorts - I don't like them as much with skirts or dresses. I "forgot" I had these olive wedges, so I decided to take advantage of them color coordinating with my top and wear them since I had pants on.
I love that a chambray can serve as an indoor denim jacket of sorts when you feel like your outfit needs just a little something. This is the same dress you saw me wearing here with my faux daughter aka first cousin once removed.
This is definitely what you could call my foolproof outfit. Anytime I am running late or feeling uninspired, I just grab one of my striped dresses and throw on a scarf. In the winter, I will layer this over opaque tights and riding boots and top it off with my moto jacket (as seen here.) I highly suggest finding similar dresses to throw on in a pinch. They're like ninja pajamas, I tell ya!
This is a modified version of the date night outfit I shared with you here wearing these amazing and wonderful Sam Edelman sandals. I realized the only other time I've worn this top to work was here, so I decided to switch the shorts for some cuffed jeans that I can wear to work. Yes, this is what I would call a "work" outfit. I'd say I'm pretty lucky for that.
Another uniform of sorts - my weekend uniform consisting of anything + distressed jeans + leopard slip ons. I need a dressing room like this at home - so perfect for OOTD selfies.
This is a pretty lazy outfit, not gonna lie. But I always reach for this top when I want something a little bit better than tee. And stripes + a splash of leopard always makes me happy.
Tank: Spurs tee from Academy | Camo leggings:Express | Shoes: Nike
And last but not least is a little workout OOTD. And I was legit working out. I wasn't just wearing fitness wear for everywhere like apparently the entire country does per Gina's reconnaissance. I do love cute workout clothes just as much as I love cute real life clothes, so I had to throw this in for one last random selfie. :)
Hope this roundup was just as entertaining for you all as the first. My posting schedule has been a bit hectic the last couple of weeks because of busy weekends, but I'm looking forward to getting back into my normal routine! Have a great weekend!
The husband was taking these photos of me and all of a sudden says, "I can see right through your shirt!!" Yes, yes, that's the point. Clearly this is not office appropriate, but it's the quintessential summer outfit. I struggle with lace tops - I think they are so pretty, but I kind of hate the look of a tank or cami underneath. I think it kind of ruins it. That's where this lovely bandeau comes in handy. If you remember, I bought this thanks to my sister in law and talked about it more here.
Now, all I need is a day off and barbecue to go to!
Sunnies: Tom Ford | Earrings: Premier Designs | Necklace: Banana Republic (option) | Top:Ily Couture | Bottoms: Express (option, option) | Bracelet: Express (option) | Shoes: Schutz (option)
I've seen this top a few places around the blogosphere, but I couldn't resist it for myself. After all, I'm an addict. Shoes are my weakness - they're the first thing I shop for when I need some retail therapy. They are the same size regardless of what my body weight is. They're the perfect finishing piece to every outfit.
I'm happy to report that I not only have this tee to vouch for my obsession, I finally made a video compilation of my little pretties. While not *every* single pair of my shoes is captured in this montage, I'd say this represents at least 90% of what I own. I hope you enjoy it!
