Aida ~

Managed to snap outfit photos most of this week! Had an odd constraint of a last-minute long airport run on any of these days (turned out to be today) which required outfits that would be extra comfortable for a few hours of driving. So stretchy, soft, and non-wrinkle was the order of the week. Also re-worked my style descriptors a bit and these all hit the spot really nicely!

Quick notes: #2 worn Saturday to get a long overdue hair cut, the rest to work. #3 and #5 both have blush floral lace hosiery that doesn't really come through in the photos, but you can see the pattern in the find below. #4 (aqua+silver) and #5 (camel+ black) are springier takes on favorite outfits from this past winter. Today's outfit (#6) is a favorite from last spring/summer which I wore with the silver pumps in #4 but didn't want to risk scuffing on the drive today, so instead opted for gold (and some more gold!).

In the spirit of getting back to posting outfits, here's what I've worn to work so far this month. Not sure I can consistently do full weeks like this but I'll do my best to share at least some! Friday May 5th previously posted here (the denim-on-denim outfit in the summary image).

As is customary for spring in the Pacific Northwest, the weather has
been all over the place, primarily cool with plenty of wind+rain, and only recently a couple warmer days sprinkled in. Nothing new here -- continuing to wear old favorite outfits along with new pairings to try and keep things feeling fresh. Very happy to finally be able to work in more of my spring/summer pieces ^^

Some casual outfits for warmish dry (!) weather this past weekend. Nothing fancy here, pretty much how I dress on most weekends unless I need something smarter: sweater/flannel+jeans+booties for cold weather, tank/tee+shorts+flats/sneaks if it's hot, and something in between for in between. I don't particularly enjoy uniform dressing but have learned to do it for casual weekend wear since that's what works best!

#1 Saturday - Orange/navy striped tee with BF jeans for yard work. While working wore a straw cowboy hat, chambray sneaks, and purple gardening gloves. Tucked the side, swapped to gold loafers and added big gold hoops for quick lunch/home improvement store run (should've also popped on a belt!) then back to more yard work.

#2 Sunday - White and blush linen tee with BIG cuffed jeans, ivory rock earrings, and delicate silver necklaces. Had planned to hit the driving range but instead ran some errands so I opted for these little yellow flats over of the sneakers I'd been planning on. Later went for a walk with my sis and her pup.

And of course, also plenty of lounging around both days ;) Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome.

Totally adore the ensemble Angie posted this morning! Soooo up my alley. Decided to risk the possible rain (which held out, woohoo!) and wear right away. Paired with a seriously boxy denim blouse, and went a little more casual on the footwear/handbag front. I felt odd not wearing any pattern/color so opted for some OTT with the baubles, poofier bangs, and finished with some bright cherry gloss. Very happy with the outfit, found it particularly challenging to photograph. Has fab movement in person: extra swishy all over! Planning to don another version soon that's more tailored with a denim button-up shirt and dressier bag/shoe compliment.

I haven't pulled these jeans out in a while because they need rehemming -- I've already had them hemmed once -- but they need nearly another inch (!). I'm thinking I'll cut the bottom bit off to let it fray, and also have it taken up. Probably in the reverse order though ;)
