I tend to stick to pretty basic combinations when I’m getting ready for work, especially when I don’t have a lot of time to put an outfit together. Blouse + pencil skirt + shoes usually works pretty well, with a blazer or sweater added for cold weather or overactive air conditioners. But that’s why I […]
Dress codes are so easy for men. Whether it’s a suit, a sport coat, a tie or jeans, it’s always spelled out for them. That’s not to say that men always dress appropriately for work. I’m not sure which is worse: The fact that the coordinator for my post-college internship remembered, months later, that one […]
Growing up in Phoenix, it was normal for the weather to be warm — like, shorts and tank tops warm — until about Halloween. And Georgia and South Carolina don’t exactly get freezing cold at the end of September, either. But it’s still a little weird for me to see other bloggers posting autumnal outfits […]
I have this problem right now where I feel like all my clothes are either really casual or dressy. I don’t really have a lot of in-between. But I wanted to wear something other than jeans or a bathing suit coverup for dinner on Saturday with Toby, so I thought this dress that I picked […]
Packing for a long trip is a challenge. You don’t want your bag to weigh 100 pounds, but if you’re like me, you also don’t want to have to wear the same outfit three times in a week. That’s where the wardrobe workhorses come in: dark jeans, nude heels, leopard flats, a navy blazer. But […]
I’m finally back from Killeen! I stayed so much longer than I had planned that I actually had to go buy new clothes… and then do laundry and get things dry cleaned. It was a bit crazy. But I do have some more weird photos of myself (and one of the gorgeous Central Texas sunrise) […]
Since I’ve been staying in a hotel by myself and working long hours, I haven’t really had a chance to take good photos of my outfits. But I did want to share a few pictures I took to give you an idea of the kinds of things I packed. Please excuse the horrible lighting in […]
I’ve never been to the Kentucky Derby. In fact, I had never been to any horse race at all (at least not that I can recall) until last month. That’s kind of weird, considering I am married to a man from Kentucky who has been to the Derby several times. But it seems like we […]
My middle school’s mascot was the Aztec, and since I was a middle-school cheerleader, I thought maybe I should include a cheer to go along with this Aztec-print dress. But… all of our cheers were pretty generic. Sorry. This dress is definitely not generic — I got it at a really cute boutique in Florida, […]
I had been thinking I didn’t have any outfit photos to post, because of the move and working from home. But I had forgotten about the day of Toby’s change of command ceremony. I’m sorta squinty, but Toby looks super cute, of course. Marines have the best uniforms. After the ceremony, we went over to […]
