We're still here!

We've been taking a little break from blogging to live life!  Sometimes, I feel like people (myself included) get lost in their blogs, planning events around them so they can have the perfect photos, etc. It was kind of a relief to work and play and not feel like I needed to have the perfect outfit or something interesting to say.

Of course, we want to update regularly for our readers, and we still plan on sharing outfits and events and shop previews and styling ideas.  We don't "make a living" from our blog, so it often moves to lower priority spots than our families, Etsy shops (which have been doing GREAT), and other work.  That's just how it goes!

But we've missed you!  Here is a fun little shop preview...some of these things are in the shop now, and some are on the way.

Clockwise from left:  green maxi shirt (in shop now!), yellow Jonathan Logan dress (coming soon!), Rainbow Sandals (in shop now!), red belt (in shop now!), turquoise Keds (SOLD!), red wedges (in shop now!), grass green Espadrille wedges (coming soon!), quilted poppies maxi (in shop now), rainbow plaid camp shirt (coming soon!)

We love bright bold colors for spring (almost as much as we love neutrals!).  We're steadily adding fun pieces to the shop...and hopefully to your wardrobe! Thanks for your support and for reading.

Outfit Post: Geometric

It's Friday!  And here is an outfit post...finally. After a long dry spell. I've been feeling under the weather, dealing with low self esteem/negative body image stuff, and I haven't been getting too dressed up.  But the truth is, dressing up even when you don't feel great can truly help you to feel better.  And sunny, warm weather never hurts!

I wore this outfit to the grocery store and thrifting...except I wore different shoes for all the walking! Tonight, our stepdaughter is in a one act play, so we are going to see her. I will wear the daniBlack platforms.  But probably not the red wayfarers...

Levi's Jacket-vintage, tank-random, skirt-vintage (in the shop now! Only $23!), shoes-daniBlack via 6pm.com, vintage pyramid necklace, red Faux-farers-Target (last summer)

This outfit came together quickly, which, to me, is the sign of a good look. I've been wanting to wear this skirt forever (before it sells!).  I love the bold colors against the black.  But it needed to be sandal-and-bare-leg weather because these platforms are perfect for the skirt's length.

It's going to be a beautiful weekend!  I'm planning on doing some writing, photo-shooting, posting, and hanging out. We may even take a trip to the zoo on Sunday! (What to wear, what to wear...)

xo, style
