I finally put on something semi-attractive after a week of rain and winds and clouds. Whenever we have weather like that, I lament the fact that I have no adorable rain gear. No tall and colorful boots, no slick raincoat with matching hat like Paddington bear. And the second it stops raining, I forget. Maybe this fall, I’ll break the pattern.
I’m doing a little pattern mixing, but I kept the color palette neutral so I would be comfortable wearing it out. I’m getting to that point where getting dressed takes longer and longer because I’m just so bored with everything I own. So this is the time where I have to try to be even more creative with what I already own since I know that buying a new wardrobe won’t spur me to be more creative. Hopefully I come up with some good looks!

I was all set to do a sort of feature—a week of work appropriate clothing that isn’t boring or stuffy. But then I deleted Monday’s outfit picture accidentally. Today I wore jeans to work. So, um, there goes my week of dressing well for work.
I managed to get Tuesday’s outfit safely onto my computer. The skirt is fantastic; it has a light green iridescent coating that only shows up in the sunlight.

As someone who’s gained a little weight recently and finds most of my pants sitting in the closet until I’m back to my normal size, it really doesn’t make sense to wear pleated pants to emphasize my hips. But they were so cute, sitting there on sale. Whenever I put them on, I feel inspired to wear some very masculine pieces. I can’t wait until the fall so I can wear them with super tall ankle boots and a schoolboy vest.
How goes your Monday? Usually I enjoy Mondays. I’m always energized and motivated to complete as much work as possible. Today…is a different story. I can tell that something is vaguely bothering me because I’m starting to rip at my nails and cuticles. I’m curious- what is your “tell” that you’re overstressed or feeling out of sorts?

Yes, my shirt does have a giant hole in the back. Thanks for telling me.
I bought this crossback T by Alexander Wang bra a few weeks ago and realized that I had nothing in my closet that had a low enough back to show off the best details of the bra. So a quick ebay search turned up this top from Victoria’s Secret. I tried to keep the rest of my outfit low-key, hence the jeans and flats. On a night out I would wear the top and bra with a high-waisted pencil skirt and some chunky heels.
I love this necklace. I got it from etsy seller basilthecat. It’s gorgeous and subtle and the perfect length. I really recommend checking out her store.

I saw this outfit on the Briannelee and loved all the jewelry she piled on. I also loved her inspiration for the outfit- the glamourai, who everyone should visit for inspiration. Her ability to pair patterns and colors and layers is just far out.
So in turn, after Briannelee was inspired by the glamourai, I was inspired by her and threw on a ton of necklaces. They totally made the outfit!
