What I Wore Weekend

Happy Monday?! My friend Danielle and her hubby moved to Vegas a while back for his job and flew home this week to see friends and family. The group ended up going downtown for a nice dinner Friday night at Luca. I love seeing Danielle and I miss her when she's gone. I am so lucky to have such wonderful women as friends.

 

Decided to wear a neoprene peplum top, dark distressed skinny's and silver metallic d'orsay heels as the neutral base which I think add more a fun "pop" than black or tan heels.

What I Wore Weekend

Hi lovelies, happy Monday! So I really wasn't going to post anything for today because my weekend was so relaxed I really didn't wear anything of notice! It was filled with relaxing on the porch, naps in the hammock, furniture shopping for the new house, a night downtown Friday for the Indians game with friends, a car show, a cookout and some shopping. I' m actually planning some really great content for the blog in the next month and I am very excited. It is a lot of work, especially working full time and trying to blog at least 3 days a week. I am not a patient person, so waiting to post all this great stuff is killing me! In the meantime, continue to check in for outfits photos and fashion know-how :)

PS: These are the only two outfits I actually wore this weekend, the rest of the time was spent in the PJ Salvage romper from Nordstrom, I practically live in it at home.

Fringe & Embroidered Crop shell: Topshop, Shorts: Stylus @ JC Penney

Swing top (new, obsessed): Nordstrom, Track Jacket: Fila, Sneakers: Coach

What I Wore Weekend Edition

 

It was another beautiful weekend here in Cleveland filled with farmers markets, birthday dinners (my brother) shopping at local boutiques and a pool day. It was pretty hot all weekend, so easy breezy dresses are the only option for me. I tend to be drawn to white dresses during the summer which can be maximized by switching out accessories. My favorite shoe to wear with short summer dresses are gladiator or lace-up sandals, which take a little girly-ness out and add a cool relaxed vibe.  If you were to flip through the pieces in my closet, it would be pretty evident that my summer look is bohemian, hippie, global, gypsy inspired. For instance, I topped my floral Free People slip dress with a global beaded vest to add a little edge along with black lace-up gladiators. My breezy Gap shirtdress is a pretty classic style, so I added cognac accessories for a chic laid back look. This shirtdress is a closet staple; it's fully lined but still light and airy. I chose to roll the sleeves up and open up the front placket so it doesn't look nurse-maid like. And the best part, it has pockets! Classic summer casual dress for sure. I also love this dress with wedges and an obi belt to dress it up a little, and flats and a blazer for a preppy look. The possibilities are endless!

Hey loves! Hope you had another great weekend, the weather here was beautiful. So I decided that I am going to start doing a weekly series called 'what I wore weekend'. Since I work a full time job at a law office, my fashion there is mostly limited to business/comfort. I'm fortunate that we are a small firm and we don't ever have to wear suits, dress pants, etc. I personally hate those, as I feel that no matter what accessories you pair with them, I always felt that "dress" clothes masked who I really was. Anyways, I digress. The weekends are my runway usually, where I am fully dressed and feeling it so I thought I would do a round up of what I wore and to what event I wore them too.

This weekend was pretty low key, Friday night me and Anthony walked up to my church's annual summer festival for dinner and meeting some family friends. Each year for the festival I kind of struggle with what to wear because a.) it's my church and these people have known me since I was 5, b.) I practically babysat for almost half of the families at one time or another, and c.) I want to look respectable and cute, but most of all, my age. Last year I was SO tan I wore itty bit shorts and a tank, see that pic HERE. This year I was happy the weather was cool enough to wear shorts (I have a bajillion bug bites on my legs) and to look a little less casual, I paired it with a lightweight off the shoulder blouse I got last year from UO. We enjoyed stuffing our faces with ribs, fries, cheeseburgers and funnel cakes. On Saturday we went to check out the Nordstrom sale (that's another novel long post for ya) and then went to a trendy Latin/Cuban restaurant where I tried all new food, and it was deelish. I usually like to go for dresses or skirts first, but I cannot get enough of this look: olive cargo skinnys, white crop top and cognac brown accessories. So easy and so chic!
