Running Around (but not actually working out)

Friday’s tend to be my errand days… clean-up for the to-do list items that kept getting pushed off! Its hot and humid here most days so I threw on my favorite Lulu tennis dress and running shoes. On the street level I was getting a bit chilly in the shadows of the big buildings (and judgemental looks all around from the PorteƱos) so I popped back by the apartment for another layer and grabbed my pink running shirt. It’s not thermal so it was perfect when it got a bit hotter. Comfy and conservative- the perfect errand running outfit!

Red, White and Burgundy

This felt hat is so fun, but it doesn’t get enough wear! I bought it at a boutique in Norman a few weeks ago. I paired it with a black top, white quilted skirt, navy semi-opaque tights and black riding boots. I love my navy Kendra’s (a gift from my friends for my birthday a few years ago!) so I chose navy tights instead of black. Plus I wanted the black boots to stand out a bit, so the navy was perfect. When mixing multiple colors in one outfit I often match in pairs: Red hat + red lips, navy earrings + navy tights, black top + black boots, gold earrings + gold necklace.

Cozy Christmas Flannel

Today’s outfit was the product of a morning thunderstorm, the holiday season and every single pair of pants, jeans and leggings residing in my overflowing laundry basket. The layers ended up benefitting me while I ran errands around town and stopped in to work for a few hours, I was never too hot or too cold! I made this white denim circle skirt for recruitment this summer because I love a simple shape but finding skirts long enough is sometimes difficult. It’s turned out to be a useful piece in my wardrobe and wearable in all seasons. American Apparel makes a similar one, but it’s too short for me. Christmas Confession: Sometimes I feel unworthy of keeping a fashion blog because of the minimal effort I put into my personal appearance… all I did today was put on lipstain and run a brush through my hair. I like to sleep in- sue me. Anyone else use glasses as an excuse to not wear makeup? I can’t be the only one!

Quite the Quilted Skirt

White isn’t always the easiest color to work into your winter wardrobe, partially do to the post-labor day taboo! But this white skirt was made for winter- thick fabric with a quilted texture. Its perfect for winter days that aren’t too chilly! I paired it with a merino wool sweater, pearls, forest green tights and tall black riding boots.
