I Need Some Lace Shorts

March 19, 2013

So Jill put up a photo of her trying on some lace shorts yesterday, and I remembered how I’ve been looking for a good pair for a while. And last year, my friend Tracy wore an outfit similar to this one I’ve created below (actually her shirt was a bit more army inspired, but close to this shape. so cute!), and it was so chic! She’s a mom and needs to be able to move around, look nice, and not have her shirt pulled down at any given moment. I have to admit, she’s one of my fashion icons.

Top, Watch, Flip Flops, Shorts

PS: Tracy wears these flip flops with everything! Dressed up or down, she makes them look so good! Don’t know how she does it. See more Tracy in this post. She’s the hottie in the plaid shirt (and that’s her baby!)

This week is St. Louis Fashion Week, and though I will not be able to attend most of the festivities (because a certain someone is getting married!!!!!), I did get invited by Alive Magazine to the kick off party last week. First thing I did was call my friend Carol (because she always seems to have the answer!) and ask her what to wear. She informed me I could wear pants (Hallelujah! I was not in the mood for a dress people.) So I pulled out these trusty vegan leather pants and this cutie old dress (that’s really a shirt) and drove my little self (and Karah!) over for the kick off party and fashion show by Elise Lammert!

The first sign of Spring and I pulled out these Emerson Fry goodies that I bought at their outlet back in January! It’s the first time I’m getting to wear them and I already know they’re going to be a favorite. They may be 4″ tall, but they’re comfy! And cute! And they go with everything. Love finding shoes like that.

And referencing this post, I wore this on top yesterday, but today I basically look the same. Hoping to take off some layers as the day warms up. Yea for spring!!!

I Get Into Trouble

March 14, 2013

Everytime I hang out with my friend Gertrude, I get into trouble. Somehow, it just finds us. We go somewhere, with a purpose, and end up shopping. Happens EveryDay. Somehow I found the need to buy this sweater and this lipgloss. I NEEDED it. And if you think I ain’t gonna style this sweater like this, you’ve got another thing coming.
