monday.

 

talbots blouse {thrifted}   merona skirt {thrifted target stock}

merona milena wedges {thrifted target stock}   inpink necklace

today was one of those days where i had a hundred items on my to-do list, yet this was a pretty simple outfit that kept me feeling calm & polished throughout all of the different interactions i had at a care conference for work, the post office, bank, and police department.  it may not be the most exciting, but it was practical & professional and i definitely needed that confidence today!  i hope your week is off to a great start!

wednesday (rut)

handmade (by me) blouse   merona cardigan {thrifted target stock}

mossimo slacks {thrifted}   js by jessica oscar pumps {thrifted}

i didn't really mean to take the first half of the week off from blogging, but i have been in a... what shall we say... a RUT.  the changing weather in minnesota this week has left me less than inspired in my closet.  i love skirts but i feel more comfortable in tights and let's be real, i hate having to shave my legs so frequently, so i've relegated myself to wearing pants and my outfits just haven't come together quite as easily.  the warmer temps also = humidity, and before i even step out the door my hair is frizzy and it ends up in a  messy ponytail {this picture is from yesterday when it was a bit cooler & kept a decent curl most of the day.  you don't want to know what my hair looked like today!}.  all of these things combined have just put me in a rut.  does anyone else out there experience the same frustrations?  the transition from winter -> spring/summer always takes me a little getting used to, so hopefully i'll find a way to work with my closet and the temps outside.  in the meantime, thanks for bearing with me - and feel free to let me know any suggestions you have!

tuesday (rosy olive)

fossil button-up   merona artist cardigan {thrifted target stock}

handmade (by me) skirt   merona belt {thrifted target stock}

handmade (by me) necklace   american eagle myles riding boots

question:  do olive green & dusty rose "go together?"  i tried on about thirteen different outfits this morning, which sucked up way too much time out of my morning routine, so i finally settled on this so i could get out the door.  really, i just wanted to wear these two donated target stock items that i found at the goodwill this weekend immediately.  i am such a sucker for merona cardigans - the colors, prints, and embellishments - and i love finding them at the goodwill.  to hear about another gem of a gem that i found at the goodwill this weekend, check back tomorrow!!
