Yeah, so... stretchy teal cords. I've mentioned before about having trouble with colour sometimes, but this isn't like whackadoodle blue or anything... this tone is easy to wear - and it plays well with other blues, browns, and greys.

The mornings have been chilly this week, but once the sun comes out full-force, the temps are in the mid-twenties... this wool jacket keeps the wind off me as I whoosh and wind over the shady sidewalks, getting my kid to school. Almost everything I have on is ancient, but the pants are new-ish. I … [Read more...]

A friend of mine saw me coming and said, "All I see is you, twinkling..." That's good - without the sparkle, I might look kinda naked. I figure if you wear brown, and you are brown, you'd better brighten it up a little bit. Bring on the bling. There's nothing special about this crochet-knit top, … [Read more...]

It's sunny and gorgeous outside, with a reprieve from the hella hotness as of late, so some long sleeves of the sheer variety work rather well. Especially on short-shorts. It's still summer, after all. And this outfit is totally scooter-worthy, with a change footwear... (flip-flops are a total … [Read more...]

Remember these? I brought them home from the place the rhymes with Sinners a few months ago, and then upon deciding they were just too spendy for flip-flops, I returned them? Well. I spied them once more while perusing the store this weekend, and found my same pair with a gorgeous red sticker on … [Read more...]
