Sometimes I don’t understand what people are wearing at the mall. There are those girls strutting around in their strappy heels…whom are you trying to impress? You’ve got a lot of walking to do, and you choose the least comfortable shoes you own? Plus you’re going to spend 5 minutes taking them off and on in every dressing room. Not practical. Oh, and don’t get me started on the ladies who rub their full face of makeup on the last white shirt in my size.

When I have a big shopping day ahead of me, I dress strategically: a top with a wide neck hole that’s easy to take off without messing up my hair, comfy shoes that slip on and off quickly, no jewelry that’s going to catch on fabric, and no messy makeup or lipgloss.

Luckily, these rules apparently still allow me to dress like a bag of Skittles, which is a life goal of mine.

In case you’re wondering, my shopping was quite successful. Mustard yellow jeans, polka dot tank, striped polo, and a mixed-print skirt. Stay tuned…

Today my blog is being featured on Long Live Classy, so it seems appropriate that I have a classy outfit to show you on this lovely last day of July.

I just ordered this sweater from J. Crew Factory (and a v-neck one in spearmint, which is what made me think to wear this necklace). I’m always on the hunt for cotton sweaters in simple, flattering shapes but in fun colors. Because basic black is for funerals. Actually, I think I will ban people from wearing black at my funeral. If you wear black, I will haunt you. Everyone must come pay their respects dressed in pretty colors and accessories. Wait, what was I talking about? Right, sweaters. I like them. Happy Tuesday!

Sweater available at J. Crew Factory in lots of pretty colors

Anne Klein watch available at Nordstrom
