Borrowed from the Boys

I used to make fun of Mike for having this camo tee in his rotation (well, his home rotation). Number one, camo done wrong is just wrong, and number two, it was way too small for him. During our move last year I told him to he had to toss it out… but after staring at the tee and coming up with five different ways to style it, I sneakily tucked it into my box of clothes. Mike was obviously a little confused when he saw it reappear in the new apartment. At this point, I smiled and said, I could use a little camo in my life… this was then welcomed with several snarky comments about my comments a couple months back (hehe, oops).

At the end of the day we both win, he doesn’t look like a 12 year old boy and I found the perfect camo tee.

Happy Thursday, friends!

Drop Waist Perfection

{Zara girls dress, J.Crew Everly pumps, vintage Coach shoulder bag (current version), Michael Kors watch, Sequin chain link bracelet (similar), David Yurman ring}

Lets talk about this dress. This is what I like to call drop waist perfection! The muted green color makes it super versatile, the silhouette is one of my absolute favs, and the material is so silky/soft. I was a little hesitant to purchase this dress at first because I wasn’t sure how the GIRLS sizing would translate on my body, and although it fits snug in odd places, I couldn’t let it go. It’s that GOOD! I think I need more of this color in my life for the summer… khaki green and tan skin are like a match made in heaven, right?

Weekend Recap

{met friends for lunch in Willow Glen}

{another mini birthday celebration for Mike… with Lola}

{new Revelry tee from Meg… how fun is the gold foil?!}

{definitely having a moment with rhinestone necklaces. from left to right: vintage via Sweet & Spark, Forever 21, and Juicy Couture}

{takeout Korean food, yum!}

This past weekend was exactly what weekends are made for; really productive yet relaxing at the same time. We took Lola to Willow Glen to meet friends for lunch and walk around. This was her first time in a ‘sitting’ setting and to be honest, I was expecting the worst. The good thing, every table outside had a dog which maybe meant they’d be more understanding, but the bad thing, Lola wanted to mingle with every single one of them. She did some barking, but eventually settled down… we were pretty impressed considering she’s a 4 month old puppy. I’d say, success! Saturday night we ordered takeout and watched Django Unchained (an obvious Mike pick). I thought I would hate it, but actually got into it. I thought the acting was amazing. Has anyone else seen it?

Sunday was a day of errands, guacamole making, cookie eating, basketball watching, and some good ole me time. We didn’t necessarily celebrate Cinco De Mayo, but we sure did have a great couple of days… and I mean, there was guacamole involved =)

How was your weekend?

Hello

{Hello Apparel sweatshirt, Asos faux leather skirt & heeled sandals, vintage coach shoulder bag, Best Personal Jewelry nameplate c/o}

I would have never ever thought I’d be wearing strappy high heeled sandals just a couple years ago. I touched on this last year in this post. However, in the last year or so I’ve really embraced the minimal, ladylike sandal and have been on the search for the right pair for quite some time. If only I fit into Zara shoes, I’d probably already have had a pair, but of course my small feet never make things that easy. When I saw this pair from Asos, I knew I had to give them a shot. For the price, these can’t be beat and typically I can count on their shoes to run true to size. They’re definitely keepers and I may even need them in tan too!

p.s. I’m so glad I didn’t have to tuck this faux leather skirt away for the warmer months. How fun is the gold and navy? Another great color combo to add to the books!
