Casual Friday Cute

Jun 15, 2018















Jacket: American Eagle / Top: Express / Jeans: NYDJ / Shoes: Target / Bag: Nordstrom 

I'm lucky enough to work in a law office that is super casual since business pants and blouses are so not me. When I wear jeans, I like to pair a cute top with either a sweater or a jacket, and this spring/summer I'm all about a soft jacket. This particular one, I wear with so many things and it always looks good because of the fitted, tailored shape. This jacket is pretty old from American Eagle, so when I see pieces like this, I make sure to scoop them up!

Dress: Free People / Vest: Gap / Booties: Dolce Vita / Bag & Sunnies: Nordstrom

What a Marilyn moment I was having with that wind! It blew my dress up every time we went to shoot a picture, so sometimes, it works out!
One of the things I love most of Northeast Ohio is all the unique shopping areas. I always love this particular one due to the amazing flowers and landscapes they have. My flower slip dress fit right in!

Some 70's Flare

Hands down my signature style is more '70's and boho influenced. So it was only natural that when walking around Chagrin Falls, I'm drawn to Daves right? Best subs ever!
 
It was so funny, the guy in the picture is named Dave, and works at Daves (obviously) and was hanging out in the doorway watching and when I turned to him he goes, "really nice, man. beautiful pictures." Well, any smiling, happy dude that "hey man's" me, I'm obviously going to love. So me and Dave from Daves chatted for a few, and while I was in awe of his total hippie lifestyle and positive outlook on life, I'm glad he was captured in a pic, it just makes the whole thing complete. Right on.

What I Wore Weekend Edition!

Jul 13, 2015

jeans (last season) similar here

top, Tre Sorelle Boutique, identical here,// Pants, Nordstrom similar here //shoes, shoemint, old

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!
