What I Wore: Boho in Otown

Even though it was just for a quick day trip, I had to make sure that I was looking cute for our Orlando adventure. Comfort was key since we were going to be spending just as much time traveling as enjoying the city. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you really have to neglect style. I absolutely adore my tried and true wide legs, and paired with a plain white tee (what up Tide pen) and bright accessories, you can’t really go wrong. Although the hubs labeled it as boho chic, I was reminded of my 90’s youth. Kind of what Angela Chase might wear these days, right?

ps; I’m hoping one day I’ll get over my self consciousness of being photographed in public (namely when there are people around) – am I the only one that seeks out abandoned locations for that very reason?

What I Wore: Reset

Sometimes things happen, and they just don’t make any sense. You spend many days and nights reeling, trying to understand why or trying to label it with some sort of significance because there has to be a bigger picture to all this, right? That, in a nutshell, is what has been swimming around in my head for the past week. You would think an outfit post would be the last thing on my mind, but (with the help and gentle nudging of the hubs) I want to try not to push away things that make me happy or are part of my normal routine. My smile may be a little forced, and my glitter a little dull, but I strongly believe I will make it through this very tough time.

What I Wore: Baby Shower

2014 has been the year of the baby in my circle of friends. Almost all my buddies are expecting, so it’s been a lot of fun to be part of their journeys. This, of course, means parties (& fun party dresses)! Just this past weekend, I had a baby shower for my awesome friend, Jackie. She is a Crossfit hottie that manages to still look amazing with bump in tow. Superior genetics if you ask me! I am very excited to meet her daughter, Stella Rose, come April – I know she is going to be one cool cat.

I am really digging Love Juliet – they are my newest partnership and are based right here in Miami! Definitely check them out and their beautiful jewelry (& instagram!). It’s fun, colorful and affordable – what’s not to adore? My earrings were the perfect pop of color for my neutral outfit, and were very comfortable. I only made one mistake: wearing my hair down! These pretties are made to be the center of attention!

What I Wore: Modern Katniss

This past weekend we were treated to tickets for the ballet, so naturally I was over the moon with excitement. I used to dance when I was younger and was pretty sure I wanted to grow up to be a ballerina. Unfortunately, my grumpy high school self took over and decided I didn’t “have time” for ballet anymore (what teenager doesn’t have time?!?). That is one of my life’s biggest regrets, but I’m glad I at least get to seize opportunities like these to sit back and appreciate it from afar.

Although this outfit doesn’t exactly scream ballet, I loved pairing something simple and feminine like this perfect LBD with something a little more rough and tough like this utility vest. It paralleled my belief that these elegant and beautiful dancers are just as strong and gritty as any warrior.

What I Wore: Holiday Glitz

It’s the perfect time of year to throw on some shiny goodness without apologies. This, of course, means I take it a few steps further by not only wearing glitz, but pairing it with loud prints. In other words, sorry, I’m not sorry.
