The Tailored Party Dress

Every year on my birthday, my husband the cameraman gets me a new dress. I don’t know how I got so lucky, but I did, and it’s best not to ask questions about gifted party dresses. He knows I love a good color and a good print, or at least something kind of weird. It’s […]

The Perfect Brunch

When I close my eyes and picture what I want to look like while I sip morning cocktails and eat lemon curd drenched pastries, I am wearing this outfit. That’s why I decided to pair my favorite pencil skirt with my favorite lace-trimmed drapey white tank together for my birthday brunch at Perla’s. The wind […]

Garden Party

It’s always good to have a little floral party dress in your closet, especially once summer rolls around. What is more perfect to wear to an evening cocktail party in the garden than a vintage-inspired colorful frock like this one? Whenever I find a dress like this, simple, pretty, and just the right knee-grazing length, […]

What to Wear with Cutoffs (if you’re sick of tanks)

I don’t know about you guys, but when it’s hot as heck out there, the last thing I want to do is throw on something complicated. That’s why many summers in Texas have been spent languishing in the Old Navy tank top/whatever shorts are on top of the pile combo. No more, I tell you. […]

Shorts for my Birthday

Here we go with a few shorts-themed posts. This is a casual day look that’s light and breezy and follows all my shorts requirements, being the mature 32 year-old lady that I am. These were found on my recent trip to Last Call, and are perfect for day because they are a lovely neutral color, […]

Striped and Bejeweled

The only downfall to the cameraman’s new job is that he doesn’t have hours to slave over my blog any longer. That, and I am never ready and dressed before he leaves for work, which is probably the real issue. So here I bring to you my little work outfit, complete with borrowed necklace, taken […]

Easy Summer Dress

Here’s a dress that I think is just the most comfortable thing. I will bullet you some points today because I’m in a shooting type of mood after my adorable dog destroyed expensive and beautiful curtain #2 yesterday, which I have complained about heavily on my twitter. Why this dress is a fabulous summer option: […]

Striped Dress, Two Ways

And the belting continues! I haven’t worn this dress (which I also think is a beach cover-up) since February, when I wore it during the 30 for 30 challenge. I wore it with a sweater here, with my brief foray into tall socks here, all prim and proper with a belted cardigan here. I can’t […]

Awkward Belting (and how you can avoid this phenomena)

I know I talk up belts, like, all the time, but sometimes belts are high maintenance. Take this one I got for $1.25 at Savers, for instance. It was sitting there in the belt section like a little beacon of coolness in a sea of late 80’s fake leather and gold, just begging me to […]

Repeating Outfits

So, when you document your outfits every day, you start to feel a bit of pressure to come up with something different to share each time you dress. But here’s the truth: I wore this outfit two days in a row. Well, maybe more like a day and a half. Sometimes, I just find something […]
