Oufit #1: April 21, 2011

So here it is, April 21 - please note that is a full month into spring - and it's snowing here. Seriously. What's up with this, nature?
Still, I can't help myself from breaking into spring and summer colors, even if I have to wear boots and leggings under my skirts. Which makes me feel a little bit like a frontier woman. Well, I guess it is sort of a frontier, up where I live.
This skirt is a wonderful marigold color in person. My husband picked it out for me on our honeymoon. It's one of those beach-town purchases that's meant to be tied as a dress or a skirt or a sarong - or, you know, a tourniquet, whatever. I'm sure you can find them in lots of places. But he picked this one out, and I picked out a purple one. He was definitely right. I wore this all through the early part of my pregnancy, too, it's so forgiving.

Brown v-neck top: Ann Taylor (It has those little snaps in the shoulder to attach it to your bra straps so they don't show. I am totally enamored of those little snaps. I want to add them to every shirt I own.)
Marigold wrap skirt: Kariza, from a boutique on my honeymoon
Leggings: Vera Wang at Kohl's (good thing you can't see them, because they don't match at all, they're strictly for warmth)
Harness boots: White Mountain (Frumptastic and I have the same exact pair, just half a size different!)
Multitone bracelet: a gift
Orange pendant: Baked Beads

Where: Costco, garden store, lunch with my grandmother, getting hit in the jaw with a basketball (not by my grandmother), work at home.

Date night tonight! Hopefully I'll come up with a post-worthy outfit.

And thus ends the post with the most parentheses I've ever used. (I think.)

  1. Date night? On a Thursday? That's crazy talk!!

    Love the skirt. It looks swushy or swishy or something like that. Hopefully not squishy.
