Saturday Chic - Midi Skirt

Right now I am really loving the midi skirt trend. It is such a great transition piece from winter to spring! 

This is one of my new favorite go to skirts for a simple, chic, professional look.  

The midi length is fabulous with heels!

It has been super warm here lately so a simple denim jacket works great when I am  running around town, heading to dinner with Kaleb, or meeting friends for brunch.

Thanksgiving Dinner Style -Look One!

With Thanksgiving this week Kaya and I thought it would be fun to show you some outfits we think would be great to wear to Thanksgiving dinner. I'll post mine today then check back tomorrow to see what Kaya came up with!
 I love how this shirt is a great mix of two of my favorite things. Peter Pan collars and stripes.
The collar helps keep the look dressy and the stripes add a touch of fun!
When wearing mostly neutral colors its always fun to add a bright color somewhere. In this case I added a bright pop of color with the nail polish. How are you celebrating Thanksgiving this year?
And more importantly, what will you wear there?

No matter how you choose to spend this day, be it with family, friends, your pets, by yourself, or maybe even working, I hope you get a least a few minutes to reflect on the things you are grateful for. Because after all, that is what the holiday is really about. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Lunch Date With My Mom.

Last Sunday I hade a lunch date with my mom, then after we headed over to support my favorite soccer team RSL on their quest to advance in the playoffs. We had lunch at one of my favorite locally owned places, Ret Butte Café. It was a beautiful warm sunny day, but I knew it would get chilly at the game so I choose to wear a pair of my favorite AG skinny jeans with a new oversized striped sweater I picked up when I visited LA a few weeks ago. The booties or shorty boots as I like toc all them I also picked up in California. I loved their rugged look and zipper detail. I knew my mom would hate that the zipper doesn't actually zip. She does. Lastly, as I often seem to do, I then threw on my favorite locket to help dress up my look a bit. Lunch was delicious and RSL won, so I'd say it was a pretty good day!
Here is what I wore:

Locket- Brand Unknown (Similar styles available at Nordstrom)

Sweater- Madewell (Still available on www.Madewell.com)

Jeans- AG "The Stilt" (Similar styles available at Nordstrom)

Coffee Date

Last week, I got to have a fun coffee date with an adorable friend of mine. I had to meet my friend straight from work. So I needed to look professional and fun! I always love a good cardigan, (have a mentioned that yet? ;)) And the one I wore on this day is one of my favorite purchase from the big Nordstrom sale last summer. I love the bright pick with the oatmeal color. The earrings I bought from Claire's when I needed them for my Halloween costume one year. I surprisingly find my self wearing them a lot! The only problem is if I hold my phone to my ear they fall right off. Anyone have any ideas about how to fix that? I love a good suggestion!

Striped Cardigan- Halogen (Nordsrom)

Button Up Shirt- J.Crew Outlet (similar styles still available at www.jcrewfactory.com)
