I came up with this outfit in an effort to make this crop top work appropriate. Ta-da!
It helps that I can pretty much wear whatever I want to work, like faux leather pants and crop tops.

This Dress!
I freaking love this dress! I bought this a couple months ago and wear it all the time. So often that I'm really surprised that this is the first time it's been in an outfit drawing. Seriously, my husband has made the comment "are you gonna wear that everyday?" because sometimes I wear it everyday. I actually think it was supposed to be a maternity dress because it contains all of the qualities I love in maternity dresses. It's really long and simple and stretchy and comfy and it's unbelievably cute.
That Dress!
I picked this dress up at a clothing exchange because I thought it had potential. I liked the little yellow print and the huge 70s collar but thought is was ill-fitting and a bit frumpy. I wore it right away when I got it and you can see here how it fit before. After taking it in an inch and shortening it by a few more, I think it looks pretty great. Now I love this dress.

We Are The Willows
This is the other side of my reversible wonder skirt and it goes perfectly with my new We Are The Willows t-shirt. Yay!
I got the shirt when I saw them last Sunday night at Bedlam Theatre. They performed, along with my choir, at the Voice: Songs for Those Who Are Silenced CD release show. This was the first time that I'd ever seen them live and they are quickly becoming one of my new favorite local bands. Check them out.

Spring Uniform
Similar earrings
I love this outfit. One of my favorite shirts and favorite skirts combined to create what I think encompasses my overall spring aesthetic.

My Sister's Closet FTW
Can you tell that I really like to shop at My Sister's Closet? I've been shopping and consigning there for years. They have a wide variety of designer and vintage clothes for hella reasonable prices and I consign there so I almost always have credit. How can you go wrong?
The Mall of St Paul is also my happy place. If you've never been there, please go and not just while you're waiting for a table at The Blue Door. Spend some time, get acquainted, find that perfect thing that you didn't know you couldn't live without (yellow and gray silk scarf).

Crop Top!
This is the third iteration of this outfit that I came up with today. This oftentimes happens when I buy something new. I get so excited about styling it, that I'll continue to alter my look throughout the day until it's just right.
The first version that I wore to work was the crop top with a brown leather pencil skirt, knee high boots and a jacket. This was cute, but a little uncomfortable. When I got home from work, I changed into a black embellished a-line skirt. Much more comfortable and super cute, but a little chilly for the weather. I had an engagement that evening and changed yet again because I was afraid of being cold. I put on some black tights and a black knit pencil skirt and discovered the best outfit of them all. I threw on my orange leather jacket and felt quite chic. I was, however, overdressed for a casual baby shower, but my friends have come to expect that of me.

T-shirt & Jeans
I remember waking up this morning thinking "I just want to be comfortable today. Maybe a t-shirt and jeans"
I don't know why that combination always pops in my mind when I think of comfort because I haven't been comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans since high school.
Anywho, I took a trip down to my closet and somehow came up with this ensemble.
A leather skirt with a tight sweater is maybe the opposite of t-shirt and jeans.
Sometimes I just don't understand myself.
