sunnyville

One thing I love about Boise, ID is that the sun usually shines.

Sometimes it’s blinds me though:

blazer/tee- Club Monaco, shorts- Express, necklace- boutique in France, flats- Bally. 

I love these shorts, they have gold flecks in them and are so fun. The bummer news is that with out tights they scratch my legs. It's not pretty when that happens.

outfit details-

jacket- Express

turtle neck- Gap

belt- Rough Roses

skirt- Anthro

flats- Bally

I had another top picked out to wear with this skirt today and then the very sweet and always stylish Megan over at The Fugalista Diaries reminded me what today was. I am wearing my red, are you?

I wore this coat most of the day so I thought I would keep it on for most of the photos as well. This skirt had so much static after I left the house and I couldn’t get it to stop. Between that and the wind it sometimes looked like I was wearing bellbottoms. I also don’t usually wear my like this. I actually felt weird all day. I didn’t make it big, or put it up high, or rat it or anything. Still not sure how I feel about it.

Ley’s talk about this skirt, I found it rummaging the sale/clearance room at Anthropology over the summer and I fell in love. I picked it up for $25 and couldn’t have been happier. After taking photos though I have come to realize:

1) from the front it makes me look wide 

2) I can’t find shoes that look good with it. 

I have tired flats, sandals and heels. I just can’t get it to work. That means this baby may sit in my closet for a while until I can find it some shoe companions. That also means I have an excuse to go shoe shopping (insert devilish grin here).

sunny break

 

sun glasses: from a magazine, British Tatler. button up: Nollie (at Pack-Sun) tanks: Express. jeans: G-Star Raw. shoes: Wanted 

After studying very hard for my test the last few days I decided to take the day off yesterday and take advantage of the sun and wonderful 58-degree day. My day included but was not limited to: taking photos/paintings (some a year old) to the frame shop, taking a pile of clothes (some I have not yet worn that I bough last year) to a seamstress, grocery shopping, laundry, and a nice walk. 

Because it felt warm in the middle of the day I decided to forgo a jacket. That was however not the smartest thing I have ever done. On our walk around 4 p.m. it got very chilly so we had to cut our walk short and return home. 

Today it’s back to studying and finishing the laundry for me. I hope you are having a sunny and beautiful weekend.

Cheers, 

Bre

cardigan: Express. shirt: Mango. dress: F21. necklace: Handmade gift from a friend in Peru. Ring: Some boutique in Oregon. 

 I did not plan on posting the outfit I wore yesterday but I am. Let me set up the scene for you: 

 There I was standing in front of my closet half naked (sorry but I was) throwing stuff over my shoulder like in a movie where someone would be picking it up after me. No one did. Anyway back to the story. I just simply could not decide; a dress, jeans, slacks, a skirt. I just didn’t know. 

My bf came in and said “The shirt you have in your hand with this cardigan.” 

Me: “Um checks with stripes? I don’t know about it.”

 Bf: “We are late so put it on and let’s go!” 

Me: “Oh crap, fine.” 

 So my super sweet, fashionable, and loveable boyfriend put this outfit together. Thanks honey. I added the jewelry and we were out the door. Oddly, later in the day my ring turned my index finer purple. Can’t say that has ever happened before. 

 Cheers,
