I wore this to work yesterday. I must admit that it’s not my most amazing outfit creation, but sometimes I don’t feel very inspired on Mondays. I like to think that compared to the incredibly thirsty looking grass I’m standing on, that I look fresh and alive and amazing. Is it working? Or should I try standing in a landfill?

Tuesdays are another story, though. Oh man, look out for Tuesday (but in the case of this blog, you’ll want to wait and look out for Tuesday on Wednesday). The outfit I’m wearing right now will knock your socks off tomorrow. You know you wanna come back and see it…

Oh right, and as for this slightly boring but pulled-together look:

Top: Elle for Kohl’s / Pants: Benneton (yes, you have seen me wear these twice already here and here) / Shoes: Style & Co. / Earrings: Pitaya / Bracelet: What to Wear Boutique (detail picture here)

Meet Me in Saint Louis

As I mentioned in my last post, I was in the St. Louis/western Illinois region over the weekend. Without further ado, here are some pics from the roadtrip (including outfits, of course).

These are all from Saturday afternoon on Delmar Blvd, a fun shopping and dining area, and home to the St. Louis “Walk of Fame.” I took pictures of some of the stars, including Miles Davis. The statue is of Chuck Berry. And since it was incredibly hot, we stopped for beverages at Fitz’s, where they bottle their own soda pop on site.20120618-082126.jpg

This was my Saturday outfit. There were no plans ahead of time, so I had no idea what I needed to pack. Luckily this worked out, at least in my opinion. Other family members remarked, “Wow, you’re dressed up” and “You know, this is not a fashion show.” To which I replied: “My life is a fashion show.” So there.

Sunday’s outfit had to withstand the ride home. I’m calling this one a success, too, considering these pictures were taken literally right after stepping out of 5 hours in the car. After discovering how comfortable and unwrinkled I was, I got myself a self-congratulatory sandwich…
