Casual, Clean, Comfortable, Chambray

Today was one of those days where I had to be up and out the house hours before the sun came up, and home after bedtime. Basically, this meant that I had to dress for any kind of weather. Here's a simple outfit that ended up working perfectly for a full and lengthy day. In contrast with the chambray look of the shirt-dress, the boots seemed to give this casual look a clean, yet comfortable appeal.

The "Penny Lane" Coat and the Vintage Batik Print Sundress

I re-watched Almost Famous the other day and remembered just how much I adored the fabulous coat that character, Penny Lane, wore throughout the movie. Recalling that I have a similar coat up for grabs in the shop, I decided to try my hand at a "Penny Lane" inspired look. I just got this vintage batik print dress off ebay last week, and have been more than eager to wear it. It's very 70's, with a colorful and carefree vibe. Now for some twirl-action!

"I Go Out Walking..."

Ok, here it is: I'm a karaoke fan, and tonight I'm channeling my inner Patsy Cline! I picked up this black-and-white checkered dress a few months back when I was in LA for my dear friend's baby shower. The organza-like ruffles are super sensitive and have begun to unravel, which I don't quite know how to stop, but I just couldn't resist the twirl and ruffles Before we go out, though, I'm going to get a haircut. Just in case I decide to go shear-happy I thought it best to take a photo in my outfit, but since it took forever to grow out my bob I doubt I'll do anything dramatic...yet.

New Sunglasses and Boots

 

First off, Happy Groundhog Day!
I have been wanting a new pair of shades for a while, but since they have to be prescription, it's an accessory that I just don't switch up very often. I just adore the cat eye look that has been popular over the past few seasons, and being drawn to sunnies that have a retro or unusual look I was ecstatic when I got these for Christmas. Out of sheer coincidence, I found this strange, nineteen-seventies-esque building with a rock shingled wall that in an odd way had veins of color that seemed to match my outfit. What I wore was simple and casual enough for a post office run and some grocery shopping, but since I had my camera with me I thought I should snap a photo or two and share it.

Also, these are my very first pair of Frye boots, and boy are they comfortable. No break in time whatsoever- it's wonderful!
