For the record, this is not real leather. But “pleather” paints a picture of crappy small-town strippers so I don’t like to use that term to describe my own wardrobe. I wore this to the office on Monday (where I work at a desk, not on a pole). I had already decided to wear this skirt, but all of my go-to “work tops” just seemed boring. Then I thought about my style pinboard on Pinterest where I have about a gazillion pictures of outfits I like. I pin photos and then never look at them again. It gave me this crazy idea – I should look at them. So I did, and I happened to spot one that included a vest. I’ll skip to the end of the story: I decided to wear a vest.

Sometimes you just have to find something that sparks some creativity. No more boring Monday! Huzzah!

Also, today Coco was all “hey take my picture for your blog,” and I was like “but my blog is about style,” and she was all “pretty please I’m cute” and I was like “OK.”

New things

Just a few things that have come into my life in the past few days…

I got some new cheapie sunglasses from Charming Charlie. The frames are pretty cool…solid brown on top and with a tortoiseshell-esque texture on the bottom.

Godiva truffle of the month (it’s free! if you live near a Godiva store, you should sign up!) and it just happens to match my nails.

New summery purchases made today! Coco inspects for quality, of course. The flower print dress is perfect for a summer wedding – how convenient that I’m going to one next week. The yellow skirt was only $13 and I think could be cute for both work and non-work occasions. Stay tuned!
