Crazy talk: Style.

One blog reader recently commented that I am always so stylish and cutely dressed. Yes, I indeed did a double take to make sure that was in fact what I was reading. Although, INTERNET, don’t worry, I have made her an appointment with the optometrist for next Wednesday at 9AM. CLEARLY she needs her eyes checked.

Lately (as in the last 2 years) the shopping and looking stylish has taken a drastic nose dive into the sand. I spend most of my time working at the restaurant, and the other three free days a year sitting at my computer trying to get editing done. When I actually have a day off my brain goes into shock mode and can’t pick an outfit out for the life of me, I don’t even know where to begin. TOO MUCH PRESSURE. I CAN’T DO IT, I CAN’T DO IT! And then, I usually end up wearing jeans, my black pumas, a black shirt, and a hoodie sweatshirt. Yes, that is EXACTLY WHAT I WEAR TO WORK at the restaurant.

In my attempt to convince myself of said statement actually being true, I have decided to start a style post. They aren’t all necessarily clothes, just things I like and think are cute. Not sure how often this will happen, but I’d thought I’d give it a whirl. I only have had one of these, and well, I killed it.

1. Chartreuse clutch I would die for from Etsy.
2. Gorgeous Turquoise earrings from Banana Republic.
3. Fancy gray flip flops from J. Crew.
4. Summery shirt from BCBG.
5. Handmade birdcage veil from Etsy. Handmade Lovelies is a company by a photographer.
6. Gray Heels from Nordstroms.
7. I adore paper. Thick, thin, envelopes, enclosures, invites, letterpress, you name it. And these letterpress invites from Bella Figura are AH-MAZ-ING.
8. I think topiaries are the cutest little plants. EVER. Too bad I don’t have a green thumb. Check out this little guy at Smith & Hawkin.
9. Although I have yet to figure out a use for these little suitcases from the Paper Source, I think they are adorable.
10. Headbands are all the rage these days, and this one from J. Crew, would make an awesome accessory.
