what i wore today

and the final installment (for now) in the what i wore today series. i think i did it mostly as a way of getting properly dressed. when you work from home, you have a habit of remaining rather slothfully in comfy pajamas all day. and tho' i love those comfy pajamas, dressing up gives you something extra psychologically.

since it's friday and the storm outside seems to have mostly blown through, i thought a little dressing up was in order. i've pinned several messy braid photos to my pinterest and thought i'd give it a try today.



messy braids: intentional
dress: lysgaard
sweater: noa noa
necklace: pilgrim
ring: impulse purchase in babo, manila
leggings: found at the grocery store
brown boots: vintage (now), purchased new 15 years ago at bloomingdale's in chicago
eyeshadow: moss paint pot by mac

probably should have ironed the dress.

happy weekend, everyone!

what i wore today

it continues to be grey, rainy and windy, so casual, warm clothes and no makeup are the order of the day. i thought i'd feature samba, the world's best bunny, to explain the bits of hay that are at my feet in these shots. i'm taking them out in a covered, unheated terrace that's at the back of our house (and arguably the best room in the house). it's where the bunnies lived before they got their new cage out in the furnace room where it was nice and warm for them this winter.


apparently the weather makes me not care all that much about matching my outfit either - it's all about being warm and comfortable today!


green cashmere sweater: gap, singapore
grey plaid pants: gap outlet, seattle area, 2003
scarf: made by me of lovely anna maria horner flannels
my favorite bit is the big giant vintage buttons
moccasins: same as yesterday
samba: bringing new meaning to the notion of bunny slippers

what i wore today

i risk here on day two of "what i wore today," looking like i only shop in H&M, which is decidedly not true. but it is true today. for the second day in a row. the sun may be out, but it's still cold, so a sweater dress and tights were in order. and nope, i still didn't clean the mirror or sweep up the straw & bunny poo.



orangey-red striped sweater dress: H&M
grey tights: H&M
red socks: H&M
red furry bumper boots: Bumper

what i wore today

a weekend of sunshine, a new outfit and one can face the new week head-on.



blue dress: H&M (believe it or not)
latte-colored cardigan: H&M (believe it or not)
(i'm convinced that H&M has changed, as it can't be me.)
blue tights: H&M (this we can believe)
stripey socks: H&M (we also believe this)
brown boots - vintage 
(tho' they weren't vintage when i bought them 15 years ago!)
