Lace and Polka Dots on the Pedestrian Walkway








skirt/top-Banana Republic(similar here and here), vest-Old Navy(similar here), belt-Urban Outfitters(similar here), necklaces-Forever 21(similar here and not at all similar here, but very fun), heels-Target(similar here)


I've worn this outfit several times to the office over the years and I love the funky feeling of it. Take the vest off and it's pretty standard shirt and skirt combo. Or is it? The skirt is a great print and a lace top always adds interest. The vest gives it a more casual vibe, less fancy, mixes it up.

I realize "tights" weather is just about over, but I couldn't resist creating such a long lean line of leg with these tights matching the color of my heels. And after looking at this and yesterday's post, I think I may be having a lace moment, no?

Our location is the new pedestrian walkway connecting Ellsworth in Shadyside to East Liberty.  It's right near Mr. Keller's office and when I realized my skirt matches the lights and little plastic ornaments in the chain link it was an obvious setting to photograph this outfit.





You can even, maybe, go so far as to say this is an outfit to match the bridge. Or in the words of Justin Timberlake, "Take 'em to the bridge!"

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!
