When I went back to try on the Pixie Pants in Leather Tuxedo Stripe I also re-tried on the Andie Chino’s. I asked for a size 8 & 10. I originally tried on the 8 but thought they were too tight. The 10s were way too big so I asked for more opinions from my VPS and favorite SA and settled on the size 8. It was the right choice as they do stretch some throughout the day.

The temps dropped to the high 80s Monday and I’ve been patiently waiting to wear Fall-ish clothes. So, I rolled my Andie’s, added a tee from Zara and my Cons and pretended it was kind of Fall.

I loved the feel of the Andie’s so much I wore them again this week, this time with the Silk and Sequin Scoopneck Tee and Cece’s.


Here’s Gus again…sniffing these pants to see why I like them so much that I wore them twice in one week. 

And…Bella’s jealous ’cause that’s how she is. Spoiled girl.

Yep, this is as Fall as I am going to get right now.

I’ve been trying to figure out a new title for post for my OOTD’s other than “Quick Post” or “Today’s OOTD”. Please forgive my Spanish as I am not fluent. I certainly understand a lot more than I can speak and am try to re-learn it so I can help The Boy with his classes in the next few years. “Que Bella”, I have found, translates to “How beautiful”. I really wanted to have the word “bella” in it if I could so that’s what I’ve come up with. We’ll see how it goes.

Here’s what I wore Thursday and Friday. Thursday was quite a beautiful day. Gorgeous blue sky and sun everywhere. This is the Fluttering Obi Dress by Corey Lynn Calter from Anthropologie, size 4. When I tried on the dress the belt was stitched in the back so I had to take a seam ripper to it so that I could wear the belt the way it shows in the picture on the Anthro size. The only thing I don’t like about this dress is the sleeve. It is elastic and so if I push them up they are tight on my arm. I really loathe elastic on the arms but sometimes you have to suffer for fashion, right? The print is too pretty and did I mention it’s a size 4! I love when I can fit into my 20’s size! These are worn with my Steve Madden Inragee boots.

Friday was an equally gorgeous day – very Spring-like – and 75 degrees with a slight breeze. For me that meant a cardigan and for Husband that meant shorts and a t-shirt. I’m wearing J Crew Cashmere Cardigan in Cobblestone, J Crew Silk and Sequin Scoopneck Tee in Dark Plum (see the Almond color on Gigi here), GAP Essential Jeans and Prada Leopard flats. I had a salon appointment yesterday and, because I’m trying to grow out my hair, it’s not as short as I would probably like. But I’ll get there. Not sure where “there” is but I’ll figure it out soon enough.

So, can you tell where I’ve taken this picture? No? Well, I’m in a dressing room…at the J Crew Factory Store. I was able to swing by after my salon appointment and tried on a few things. I really wanted to see the Neapolitan skirt and shorts IRL and they did not disappoint. I’ll post pics later this weekend.

Have a great day!
