Hello again, friends!

Sorry for the delay. The weather was not cooperating for blog pics and quite frankly, neither was my day-to-day life.

Although I do tend to add a fair amount of new pieces into my wardrobe every season, I do make a concientious effort to keep some of my older pieces in rotation. One of the ways I do this is by ensuring that when I buy something, I know it can be pieced a multitude of ways. Take this dress for instance, I’ve worn it to weddings, wine events, and just to dinner. The only thing I’ve changed is the shoes and if/what I wear over it. Here I’ve made it a little more casual by throwing on my denim jacket. If we were walking some place, I would wear my flat sandals and not heels. Easy peasy. A dress for everything. What’s in your closet?!

Much love,

Mel

One of the most exciting parts about moving to a new location is getting to explore all that there is to offer in the city. My husband, coming from San Diego and just generally being a beer aficionado, has a list of all the local breweries and brew pubs that he wants to try. On Friday we set off to cross another brewery off the list. I was happy to go along because I had just gotten this new dress from Old Navy that I thought would be perfect for a night about town. It’s not to casual but not too fancy either, and I got to break in my Steve Madden booties. So we both were winning on Friday. A great start to the long weekend! 

Have a lovely day! 

Much love, 

Mel

Color Me Happy (ootd)

Happy Monday!

I’ve been a little under the weather for the past week, and as a result, today is my first day back in the office. I’m still not feeling 100% so if you’ve read my previous blog posts, you know that when I’m feeling “meh”, I gravitate towards color to help lift my mood. Today is no exception. I looked into my closet and went directly to my ultimate mood lifter, an emerald green dress that my hubs bought me for my birthday from Piperlime. This dress is everything-a great color, a great fit (Note: I would classify this overall as a structured sheath, but the skirt is a little more A-line which makes the fit flattering on most body types), and it has pockets. Bonus!

The dress is sleeveless and our office tends to be a little more on the chilly side so I grabbed one of my other favorite things, a navy blue blazer from H&M. However it IS in the 70’s outside and since I still don’t feel well, I selected my beige open-toed heels so that I won’t overheat. Gold watch, necklace, and bracelet for accents and that’s all she wrote, folks!

So here it is, my moment of zen 🙂
