I am all about quality instead of quantity in ones closet. And I am not ashamed to wear the same thing more than once in a week (uh hello last post!). I am most famous for doing this on weekends – if the clothes aren't dirty or rumpled, I will re-wear them the next day.
Omigod, it's Allie in SHORTS!!!!
So Saturday morning, I got up early to pick up Emerson from my mom's house, and then headed to IKEA to meet up with my friend for breakfast and retail therapy. I only own one pair of shorts, and you are looking at them. They were $6.99 from the clearance rack at Gap last summer. Not khaki, not olive, some color in between. And they aren't the most flattering thing, but sometimes one just needs a pair of shorts. The weather has been so darn muggy and hot and gross lately in the DC area, skirts will stick to legs and are sometimes a tough choice when chasing after Emerson, pants are too much fabric. I paired my shorts with a navy and white striped scoop tee from Ann Taylor, a black coral necklace my husband picked up in Mexico, and brown stacked flip flops from J. Crew. Nothing tres chic, but a good outfit for shopping, errand running, cleaning the house.
Sunday, we had two good friends over for an early dinner and to hang out. I put on the same top from Ann Taylor, this time with my white low-slung flare chinos from Gap and my silver and yellow necklace from NY & Co.
I have worn this shirt also with my dark straight jeans from NYDJ and my brown croco sandals, and think it would be tres cute with a denim pencil skirt (recently ordered one from Gap but it's hideous on my bod and being returned – still on the hunt). This top is currently in Ann Taylor stores and it looks just as great after a run in the washer and dryer that it did when brand new. I am all about the nautical stripes right now – I have my striped top from Lands End, and am even toying with getting another one in a different color combo for this fall!

Today will probbaly be a short one, as that there is to be a major snowstorm in the DC area that will start around lunchtime. The Federal government (AKA most of my clients) is shutting down four hours early, so my afternoon assignments may be postponed. My boss said that once the snow starts to… Continue Reading Friday

I think in 2019 suits really became my signature. If I had an occasion, nine times out of ten I reached for a suit. While I became sort of known for rocking a suit with just a bra this year; I really love how being all covered up can also be sexy. I rocked a… Continue Reading Cocktail Pantsuit: Outfit 3 from the Holiday Capsule Wardrobe
