Foggy

A few weeks ago I talked about how I wasn't sure what I was going to do about taking pictures once it was too dark before and after work. This morning I left home even earlier so I could make a little Starbucks run before work, so I figured I might as well check off some of the fashion blogging cliches in one picture.

Starbucks: check
In the middle of the street: check
Foggy ambiance: check
Skinny Leg Pose: check

Next week I'll make sure to cover hair touching, looking off into the distance, the flamingo, pattern mixing, and the "oh I didn't see you there" pose ;)

Blazered

I'm back - and dressed! Today was the first day I felt like actually trying to look put together.

Every day I want to reach for this blazer but hold myself back. In Germany (and other parts of Europe as I'm learning by reading other blogs), it is very common to wear certain pieces over and over and over again. I think that growing up mostly in America I've always dressed in the "most wear something completely different" every day method of dressing. I think owning pieces that can be worn 100 times a year is the definition of buying a well thought out item for your closet so I hope to learn from my motherland and not feel bad if I bring the cost per wear of this blazer down to like $2 this year.

$2 a day well spent, I think!

P.S. Julep is holding a Pinterest contest to develop and name a new nail polish color.  You can find my entry here (please follow! :D ) and find out how you can enter here!


Linking up with real girl glam and pretty shiny sparkly.
