30x30 Challenge: Day #3, Regrets?...maybe

By | Published Wednesday, February 6, 2013

As I was on the elliptical this morning doing my morning workout, I played virtual dress up in my mind. I wanted to make smart choices for my 30x30 challenge  so I wouldn't run out of steam later. I think the wool check mini goes well with the burgundy pullover, and both are pieces I can easily remix later. I have no idea what inspired me to pull out my scuba blazer, which I bought a month ago and have only worn once. The blazer fits a bit big, and so I've shied away from wearing it. I guess I was subconsciously trying to force myself to find ways to make this work. When I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror at work, I wasn't sure if I liked this pairing. It might be a bit too much? Clashing colors? I'm not sure...still trying to make a judgement myself. Thoughts? I would love to hear your honest opinion, really!

Red and burgundy...again?

By | Published Friday, February 1, 2013


Happy Friday! I know that burgundy has been everywhere this winter, but I just can't help but love it. I think it pairs so lovely with navy, and thus it's a match that I just keep going back to.

Fedora comes out to play

By | Published Sunday, January 20, 2013




I bought this fedora at H&M a couple months back but haven't worn it since. I really like the look of it on, though it doesn't fit very well, as the inner rim is just a bit smaller than the circumference of where it should sit on my head. If was just the slightest bit windy, the hat goes bye bye! I need to think of an inventive way to pin the hat down somehow...is there such thing as hair glue?

Wednesday blues

By | Published Wednesday, January 9, 2013

This weekend, I purchased this blue blazer from Loft for $35. I had been eyeing it for awhile, and finally bit the bullet after I saw it on sale with a further 50% off. At the time, I had a chambray shirt on and the blazer seemed to fit perfectly. However, today I paired the blazer with a thin shirt from F21, and it seemed a bit loose in the chest area. In the past, I probably wouldn't have noticed this fit issue, but after following various petite bloggers this past year, I have become more critical about the fit of clothes, almost to a fault (more on that in a later post). In the end though, good fitting clothes have made me more satisfied with my purchases, which is super important considering that I have tended to be a purchase-and-regret type of girl.


(sorry about the cut-off shoes)
blazer - loft 0p, shirt - f21 s, skirt - h&m 4
shoes - loft 5.5, bag - longchamp

This skirt from H&M is my favorite purchase as of late. I can't really describe the pattern other than with the phrase "nautical honeycomb." Even though the skirt is unlined, the material is thick enough to hide lines, and most importantly, the material does not crease even after sitting for hours! Today was my first day wearing the skirt and I know it'll be a piece that I'll be keeping for years.

Until I get my tripod and clicker in the mail, I will make due by asking strangers to help me take pictures using my iPhone. A little out of my comfort zone, but as my boss says, "it builds character."
