Gingham and eyelet? Ugh, gag me with a J. Crew catalog, amiright?! Sometimes I put two things together because I think they’ll be so cute, and then I realize they’re just so…cute.

That’s when I figure out a way to balance out the preciousness a little bit, like with a simple low ponytail and and chunky black sandals. Not that there’s anything wrong with wearing gingham and eyelet with, say, a braid crown and espadrille wedges, but when you’re small and blonde and you want people to believe you’re an actual lawyer, sometimes it helps to de-cutify yourself just a little. It’s one of many life lessons I learned from Legally Blonde.

Orange you glad I got another brightly colored dress?

Sorry, couldn’t resist. This dress looks rather red in these photos, but it’s definitely more orange in person. I generally avoid orange at the risk of looking like a constructions cone (#palegirlproblems), but something about this particular shade and the structure of the dress made me feel like I could get away with it. Is it working? Don’t answer unless it’s a “yes.”

I don’t know if you noticed, but I decided to start adding more “real life” details about my outfit. Scroll up if you missed it. That’s the point of this blog, after all. The weather and what I’m doing on a particular day really are the main factors that go into my outfit decisions, so I thought I would make more effort to share that info. Just in case you’re worried I’m turning into one of those “aspirational” bloggers, worry not! I promise to never do anything aspirational.
