I’m finally back from Killeen! I stayed so much longer than I had planned that I actually had to go buy new clothes… and then do laundry and get things dry cleaned. It was a bit crazy. But I do have some more weird photos of myself (and one of the gorgeous Central Texas sunrise) […]
Since I’ve been staying in a hotel by myself and working long hours, I haven’t really had a chance to take good photos of my outfits. But I did want to share a few pictures I took to give you an idea of the kinds of things I packed. Please excuse the horrible lighting in […]
Maybe it’s all those bedazzled dance costumes I rocked growing up, but I’m a sucker for sequins. Unfortunately, they don’t work for every occasion (say, the office). But recently I’ve seen a lot of sparkly pieces available that you can wear during the day (outside the office) — especially when dressed down with casual jeans […]
I love Disney movies, and I adore Disneyland and Disneyworld. So you can imagine how excited I was when I realized we now live only about an hour from Disneyland — and that we could go there to celebrate my birthday. And yes, I was turning 33, not 13. But, whatever. The Minnie Mouse […]
My middle school’s mascot was the Aztec, and since I was a middle-school cheerleader, I thought maybe I should include a cheer to go along with this Aztec-print dress. But… all of our cheers were pretty generic. Sorry. This dress is definitely not generic — I got it at a really cute boutique in Florida, […]
I had been thinking I didn’t have any outfit photos to post, because of the move and working from home. But I had forgotten about the day of Toby’s change of command ceremony. I’m sorta squinty, but Toby looks super cute, of course. Marines have the best uniforms. After the ceremony, we went over to […]
I’m sorry I haven’t done Fab Fave Friday for a while, but, in keeping with my Fourth of July theme, I thought I’d share some of the red, white and blue items I’m coveting for summer! Clockwise(ish) from the top left: Polka-dot dress: Anthropologie. How cute is that little cutout in the front? Blue suede shoes: […]
I have a navy-and-white stripes problem. It’s major. My friend Joan apparently has the same problem. But the best thing about it? When we were shopping and she told me that she can’t stop buying navy-and-white striped shirts… I was holding a navy-and-white-striped shirt. Obviously. Anyway. I meant to buy a navy-and-white-striped cotton jacket at […]
As our trek across the country continues, I wanted to share an outfit I wore on a rainy day in DC just before we left. I actually used to hate polka dots — they made me itchy for a year or so after a childhood bout with chicken pox — but I got over it, […]
I am not a suit girl. I always had an interview suit or two, of course, but I usually felt like I was playing dress-up when I wore it. And most of the places I’ve worked have been pretty casual. But the Maryland statehouse, Capitol Hill and the Pentagon aren’t really jeans-and-a-T-shirt kinds of places, […]
