No Parking Emergency Outfit




I have mixed feelings about these types of bracelets. The cords can be a bit of a mess and I find myself throughout the day tigthening them up.




blazer-Asos(similar here), dress-Anthropoloige(kind of similar here), necklace-Bauble Bar, bracelets-Hiptique, heels-Zara

Another case of  color extravaganza with a repeat showing of the heels from this post.  In terms of color you really can't go wrong with accessorizing this dress, just pick out colors from the pattern and go for it.  This dress is a bit risque for work, but the structure of the blazer makes it totally appropriate. I love this blazer, the fit and feel are amazing. I really have to stop myself from wearing it with almost every outfit, I don't want to make my other blazers jealous, clothing has feelings too. 

I also want to highlight two retailers in this post. First Bauble Bar which has a wide range of fun jewelry and price points. Every Friday they send me a "hidden bauble" email wherein they give out a hint as to an item that's on sale for $10.  This necklace was a result, I have another on the way. 

Second, Hiq'tique a Pittsburgh boutique in Shadyside.  I will admit I've only ever been to the store once, but it's one of those places I feel I should go to more often. Whenever I pass by it I kick myself for not having more time to stop in.  They do offer online shopping, but the pictures aren't that great, it's a much better experience to visit the actual store.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental. You're welcome!

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!
