Happy Wednesday! How was your weekend? Mine was nice. We spent it celebrating my twins’ graduation from high school. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures of the actual graduation because I was crying and they all turned into a blur. Funny, right? Anyway, this is Casual Style Formula 5 of Sylvia’s Casual Style Mini Challenge:…
Casual Clothes Mini Challenge: Pants with a Tunic/Short Dress
I love a dress over jeans. Like seriously love love love a dress over jeans, which makes this portion of Sylvia’s Casual Clothes Mini Challenge so much fun for me. I think one of the reasons I enjoy this look so much is that it’s easy. I don’t have to worry about the dress being too short…
Casual Clothes Mini Challenge: Printed Pants with a Plain or Printed Top
I missed the second week of Sylvia’s Casual Clothes Mini Challenge but you can see the other participants’ outfit ideas by clicking here. But I’m joining up this week. Kinda. I don’t own any printed pants. I like them in theory but, in practice, they just don’t look so great on me. Sorry, Sylvia, hope…
Casual Clothes Mini Challenge: Jeans with a Basic Tee and Jacket or Cardigan
Happy Wednesday, all! Soooo, it looks like Spring is finally here to stay. Yay for warm weather and sunlight and all the fabulous things that come with it. Like casual dressing. Oh, yeah, I’m totally in to dressing casual during the warmer months, not down, but casual. There’s a difference. And to show off my…
Casual Clothes Mini Challenge: Jeans with a Special Top
I’m a casual dresser. I’ve written before about how I used to wish that I worked in an environment where dressing up is required, but now I’m all kinds of happy that I can pretty much wear what I want. That doesn’t mean I don’t step it up every now and then, but most of…
Favorite Winter Outfits and a Boots Storage Tip
You guys! I think winter has finally ended. It’s been rainy and windy and a little bit chilly just about every Monday for the last 3 weeks but I’m not complaining because at least it’s not sleet, snow, or ice. In fact, every day except for Mondays it’s been really nice. Like nice enough that…
Dress Over Jeans for Work
Let’s give it up for jobs that don’t have dress codes! When I first re~entered the work force, I remember wanting a job that required business casual attire: skirt, hose, and pumps. It made me feel all grown up, you know, after years of wearing nothing but oversized tees, scrunchies, and sweat pants. Hey, it…
Eclectic Outfit: Cardi, Top, and Thrifted Skirt
Sometimes I dress like I still live in Europe ~ an eclectic mix of styles: bohemian, modern, ethnic, and vintage inspired. Everything just mashed together to create me. When I was a teenager, I thought I was the black version of “Andie Walsh” in Pretty in Pink. I just knew that some day, some totally…
Casual Wear: Embroidered Top, Jeans, and Wedges
This is what I wore to work yesterday. Usually, I try to save my casual wear for Thursdays and Fridays, but I’ve been in super casual mode lately. I have no real reason for it, I’m just having a hard time with the whole getting dressed up, put on full face makeup thing. I’ve even…
Modern Hippie: Faux Fur Vest, Poet Shirt , and Jeans
Dani Blue Sky Eagle Feather. That’s my hippie name. Everyone has one, right? I can’t remember exactly how I got that name but I do know that my cousins, my sisters, an old Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, and Buckingham County, Virginia were involved. I really wish I could remember the story because I’m sure it’s a…
