friday (casual)

a couple weeks ago, i noticed a poster in my building notifying staff that casual fridays will be allowed moving forward.  i think i could have gotten away with wearing these trouser jeans earlier, but it's nice to have free reign to dress a little more casually if i don't have a home visit or meeting with a client.  

i also wore this to the dentist this morning, which was much more enjoyable than my last visit even though i was there to get two cavities filled.  the hygienist helper who sucked my spit (haha, sorry) complimented my green shoes and asked where i got them (target.com), then we talked about the benefits of online shopping and how she buys all her toilet paper on amazon.com because of the good deals you can find.  true!  then my dentist talked about decorating her christmas tree.  pure joy i tell you, pure joy.  totally worth the numbed cheeks i had for the rest of the day to have a redeeming experience at the dentist!  have a great weekend {we're finally getting a bit of snow where i live, yay!}.

monday (4/23)

merona tie-neck blouse {thrifted target stock}  gap v-neck sweater

handmade (by me) skirt {fabric here}   merona milena wedges {thrifted target stock}

if i take a quick glance in my closet, i see lots of pinks, purples, maroon, and blue cardigans.  maybe that's why i'm always drawn to those colors at the fabric store, too.  i always bypass the blacks, grays, and tans and hover around the purples & blues.  i love the floral print and the richness of the colors.  very, very me.  click the link above if you'd like to see a swatch of the fabric from joann.com; i'm not sure how many people who pop by here are sewers or are interested in the fabric i use, but i'll try to link to the fabric that i use if i can find it online!  have a nice evening!
