Happy 1st day of Spring!

Getting the most out of my Winter clothes now before Spring really hits her stride!

I have had these pants since high school (& will be sparing you the embarassing college pictures of me wearing them)... but once upon a time they were cropped & flared legs (um, yeaaaaa).

After a trip to the tailors, these babies came back nice & tapered.

I swear a saw a similar pair to these selling at J.Crew for way too much.

I can't believe I scored these for a sweet deal over 8 years ago & a simple trip to the tailors brought them into the modern era.

What piece have you revived at the tailor's lately?

Any plans for the 1st day of Spring??

chambray re-mix

Sweater, Chambray Button Down, White Jeans, Flats - all J.Crew
Necklace - local boutique
Watch - Michael Kors (similar)

Am I blowing your mind? White jeans after Labor Day, and it's my favorite chambray shirt again! While I am testing the fashion conventions of a past decade (denim-on-denim), I figured I would try one more and rock white in the winter. So old ladies wouldn't give me the stink eye on the street, I paired my rebellious white jeans with classic pieces. And, I think it works!

Have you tried "winter" white?

so free in my winter white jeans!

christmas card crazies

This past weekend the boys obliged to be in my Christmas card. Here are some out-takes from our photoshoot... it was harder than I would have imagined to get a wiggly pug and a photo-phobic boyfriend to simultaneous look Christmas Card cute! haha
