hempfest

well i survived another hempfest.  no, i didn't actually attend.  it happens to take place near my apartment.  while i had to deal with some riffraff no bonfires were set like last year.

this button down has become my new favorite shirt.  its light enough for the warm weather we've been enjoying but can take me into cooler days like today.  boy its hard to adjust from 3 days of 80 degree weather and have it be high 60s and drizzly the next.  well that's seattle for you.

i jumped on the bossypants bandwagon a little late (i blame it on the library, i was # 300 in line on 20 copies).  it was quite good.  it made me laugh and also appreciate snl a little more.  definitely recommend it if you haven't read it already.  

wearing:

top ~ polo ralph lauren {similar}

jeans ~ levi's

flats ~ steven by steve madden {ooooold}

belt ~ gap {worn here}

 

mellow yellow

hello friends!  i apologize for my hiatus on the blog.  i've been curled up on the sofa reading harry potter (yeah i finally gave in) and on the rare nice day here in the great northwest i've been playing outside.  sadly my camera has been left at home and the only photos i've been taking are of instagrams of food i ate.  but maybe you want to see that too?

i picked up these steven loafers at the nordstrom sale a while back and finally wore them.  sadly my feet were bloody by the end of the day.  crossing my fingers they'll be comfortable one day.

oh and i could probably stop traffic with that belt.

wearing:

dress ~ hawks by geren ford

sweater ~ club monaco

loafers ~ steven 

belt ~ gap

watch ~ coach

grey skies

i think this entire outfit cost under $20.  other days i don't even want to think how much my outfit costs.  i guess it shows that you can score good pieces for cheap sometimes. :)  these shorts were only $6.  no joke, you didn't read that wrong.  gotta love 50 percent off sale sale.  

sweater ~ banana republic via the bins

shorts ~ gap

flats ~ target
