Outfits Not Just Clothes

Two weeks ago my husband and I attended the 1st Annual Pittsburgh Sunday Best Bloody Mary Festival  and it was a beautiful afternoon for some winter day drinking! shirt/jeans-Anthropologie(similar here & here ), vest/hat-J.Crew(similar here & here ), necklace- chloe + isable , ring- Le Tote (similar here ), boots- Columbia Sportswear This layered OOTD isn't setting the style world on fire, but it's getting the job done of being warm, comfortable, and featuring a bit of flair with the woven pattern in the button-down and contrasting pinstripe of the vest. Also, the jewelry is a polished touch, especially with the silvery VIP bracelet. We definitely VIPed it up check out some drink pics-- This bloodie from Luke Wholey's came in 2nd overall, and had the BEST garnish game hands down!  Yep, that's an Old Bay rim job with a deconstructed pizza garnish from Bado's A beer-mixed bloody from Round Corner Cantina ...

Since my 40 Days of No Shopping has ended I've made some strategic purchases for the spring and this coming summer. The first of which are these PJs from Banana Republic , shown here atop my fairy tale springtime duvet, originally featured here .  So yes, this is a short set, which is a feminine take on the standard striped PJs Yes, it's all about a lazy Sunday! This ribbon came with the packing, definitely a keeper for possible future gift-wrapping.  Striped Lounge Set , also similar here It's not quite warm enough for shorts, especially in the mornings, and especially with all this rain we've been having in Pittsburgh. I'm patiently waiting for slightly warmer days and for a lazy weekend to spend in this set. I can picture it now, warm breeze, fresh coffee on the back deck with an issue of Vogue... yes!  Check back next week for more of my springtime buys and of course outfit posts.  Happy Friday!
