I Hope We Meet in the End

On Thursday evening, a friend lent me The Hunger Games trilogy. I had only planned to read the first book so I could follow the story when I go see the movie. Instead, I spent 90% of the entire weekend glued to my bed and plowed through all three books. Now I really can’t wait to see the movie!

So the weekend wasn’t filled with amazing outfits (although I did take a brief break to meet Dina and Amber for lunch and had more fun than should be humanly allowed). So…here’s what I wore last week.

Too Much?

When I got dressed this morning, my mother said “You’re wearing that to work?” Then, while getting lunch two women stopped me and said I looked like I walked off the cover of a fashion magazine. These are clear signs that I’m probably a tad overdressed for the office. Whoops.

Floral!

I know that every single blogger on earth has these floral pants, but I couldn’t resist the siren call of dirt cheap way to try out the floral pants trend. Color me surprised that they have a flattering fit and look pretty good on.

Striped

In all honesty, this is hardly my most creative outfit. But I got a new tripod and had to test it out. It’s lovely, by the way. No longer are my photos so badly tilted it looks like I took them while hopping on one foot.

Fallback

Hi! I’m still alive! Between a work conference, workin’ on my fitness, and living through the grey days of winter, I haven’t even thought about wearing a cute outfit, let alone blogging about it. It’s no coincidence that today, the day I put on something nice, is the first sunny and warm day in Boston for a while.

I lusted after these bright pink J.Crew pants for months. By the time I got comfortable with the idea of paying full price, they were sold out everywhere. But now, they are mine and they were on sale and I loooove them. Figuring out what to pair them with was a bit tough, though. I decided to save my brain power for accessories and grabbed my fallback,  a button-down shirt. At what point does a piece of clothing go from being a “signature” piece to something you default to without making any real effort?

Caught in the Act

First of all, thank you for all the wonderfully sweet comments on my post about my mother and my anniversary of moving home. Every single comment made me beam with pride for my mom. Thank you!

Now onto the clothes. Stripes are a classic that have been especially popular in the last few years, making it easy to find numerous striped pieces. But finding the perfectly sized stripes in the perfect color combination in the perfect fabric? Ugh. So. Hard. I don’t think this is my perfect striped sweater, but it comes pretty close. And since it’s so cute (and I’m so lazy), it got worn quite a bit this past week.

 

Exhibit A:

Monday afternoon, catching a little sun in the lovely warm weather. I wore another striped shirt under the sweater for contrast (and to cover my ass) and mixed things up a little more with this leopard print hat. I also posed like a frog.

See a familiar tail in the corner of this photo? It’s getting impossible to keep Chloe away from the camera!

 

Exhibit B:

Thursday for work. I added more stripes but stuck with the black and white theme. And again with Chloe! Clearly she wanted to show how well she matched my outfit.

 

Exhibit C:

Ok, this isn’t an outfit. But I suspected one of two felines were chomping on our houseplants. Bad Chloe!
