Sunday Afternoon Shopping

Hubby and I had some errands to run last weekend and headed out on a summery Sunday afternoon to take care of them. We got our errand-shopping done in no-time and even ventured out for a cute brunch at a local restaurant.



I decided to wear a breezy skirt since the weather was pretty hot. This skirt looked a lot different on me when I bought it...I've lost about 13 lbs since then so it doesn't quite fit right any more, but I still like the pattern and cut.



Patterned Skirt: Urban Outfitters
Green Tank: Banana Republic

  • Music on the Patio
    Hubby and I met up with some friends for dinner followed by music on the patio of a local shopping center. The weather is taking a turn towards fall, but the air is still warm. I decided to wear something breezy but bring a cardigan in case things got colder than expected.
  • Sunday Brunch: Cool Blues
    My hubby took me to a semi-fancy, romantic restaurant for brunch this past Sunday. The restaurant has the cutest, coziest atmosphere with a touch of that industrial-open-warehouse look with exposed brick walls and wooden beams overhead. We enjoy the look & feel of the place, but we really go there for the food. They have an amazing Bananas Foster French Toast, among several other yummy dishes.
  • Evening Couples Baby Shower Look
    Hubby and I were invited to an evening couples baby shower for one of his friends. I wasn't sure exactly what to wear since I hadn't heard anything about the dress code (and hubby got the invite) but decided that a dress sounded like a good idea.
  • Work Chic - Winter Skirt
    Wish I had a better picture of this outfit but it will have to do. I rarely wear this skirt because the top of it is itchy. Ick! But, but the easy solution is wearing an undershirt to tuck into the top of the skirt so the itchy top doesn't touch my skin.
  • T-Shirt + Jeans for Work...Again
    I'm so glad my office has loosened their dress code over the last few months, because T-Shirts and jeans really can be work appropriate, IMO, if you do it right.
  • Springalicious Ensemble
    The weather has really been heating up lately, so I'm finally able to bust out some of my fave warm-weather skirts. Layers help keep me warm inside and cool outside.
  • Working Woman - Girly Layers
    I love wearing my super girly ensembles to work now and again. The short-sleeve button down paired with a simple skirt is a fave...add on a cardi and it's extra girly. I wore warm neutrals in honor of the incoming fall weather.
  • Work Chic
    A simple work-chic look with a girly twist (I wish the lighting had been better so you could see the pretty bright-yellow-green top):
  • Warm Weather Work Ensemble
    The weather keeps getting warmer and warmer, and I'm loving it! I recently did a slightly-nautical number with a pop of color for a work look:
  • Surprise Afternoon Date: Casual Chic
    I surprised my husband with an afternoon date today. We saw a local exhibit and went to a local dive place that has fabulous hamburgers - yum! I wanted to wear something easy and comfy for all the walking and the heat! Phew! Here's what I wore today:
  • Boutique-ing My Jewelry
    This past weekend, I dropped some earrings off at a boutique that will start carrying my jewelry designs (under my jewelry biz, D Celestine - http://www.dcelestine.com). I wanted to wear something professional, but pretty.
  • Relaxed Shirt Dress Look - Casual Chic
    I found the cutest, off-white, shirt dress on sale at Tar-jhay (Target) awhile back for a mere $20, so I of course snagged it immediately. The only problem with the dress was that it was practically see-through and was in major need of some sort of lining.
  • Pop of Color-icious
    I've been paring down on the shopping, but I have managed a couple good buys here and there. One such buy was this long cardigan from Banana Republic, on sale for under $30...score!
  • Casual Daytime Shopping
    Hubby and I went out to run some errands last weekend, and the weather was hot-hot-hot and super humid. I decided to wear a fave of mine - a J Crew jersey dress, but I wanted to give the simple gray dress some amped up style.
  • Catch Me While You Can...
    I'm trying to catch the last warm bits of summer while I still can. I'm pulling out my fave summer/warm-weather pieces and rocking them out as much as possible.

    This casual sleeveless dress is a personal fave because it's so easy to throw on and wear with metallic flip flops. The material breathes well in the heat and it's pretty darn comfy, too.
