fashionably loud

One of the kids told me today I looked so fashionable all the time. Not true...but it was a cute comment.

Fall weather has sprung here and temps have been amazing. I'm in a frenzy to throw together outfits.

I totally would have tucked this shirt and belted it, but it has a zipper malfunction and that would be a problem.

top: j.crew

skirt: express

boots: madewell...made very well.

A Few Things

I didn't post yesterday because I was bogged down from going out of town over the weekend.

Looks like Leah and I both needed a getaway...just not together. Sad face.

I liked my outfit so much I thought I'd do a double post. Gotta love the buffalo check!

Ignore my face. Just look at the outfit.

All j.crew-shoes-gap. belt-madewell

today's outfit:

hello fingers. you need a manicure.

This was an awkward moment. A coworker, who could very well be reading this blog right now totally saw me in an awkward, cheesy moment of having my picture taken. It was so awkward I couldn't cover it up. So awkward (have I said it was awkward?) in fact, I couldn't get Lesley to keep the camera still to take a pic, and this is the best I got. I actually think it was this exact moment he saw me getting my picture taken. So now, the co-worker knows about the blog. He's using it as leverage against me. In a funny...but not so funny way.

I've read about it on several other blogs and I must ask-When IS the right time to come out of the blogging closet?

shoes: target

dress/top: j.crew

it started with a skirt

I loved this skirt and wanted to wear it. I didn't really care what I looked like, because I liked my top, I liked my skirt, and as long as I liked it, then who cares?!

Sorry for the blurry pic, my photog and I had to go incognito in the hall to take a pic. Don't ask.

Well, I'm not trying to get on a soap box, but apparently a lot of people liked my outfit.

They told me so! It totally made my day.

One of my students told me I looked pretty today. And then he said I look pretty everyday...ha ha!

top, skirt, cardigan: j. crew

tights: forever 21

socks: modcloth

boots: nordstroms

cords? like corduroy?

I told my husband what we were doing today here on BHD. He says, "Cords? Like Corduroy?"

Um...yes honey, like corduroy. Rhymes with borderoy.

I was super exhausted and we had errands to do around town...so I threw something together and was out the door as a hot mess. Here is my take:

jacket: gap

scarf: vs

(i should have done a diff color scarf...too much red. oh well!)

shirt: j.crew

cords: gap

shoes: toms

mirror mirror

I really, really need to invest in a new mirror. Funny thing is, I never even had a full length mirror until recently...and I'm already over it.

I went to a Christmas/Housewarming party this afternoon so it gave me a good reason to get dressed up. I wish I had snuck some pictures...this house was probably one of the nicest I have ever been in in my life. I saw some nice full length mirrors...and missed a good opportunity!
