I love stealing Brandon’s shirts. (This is one of his favorites, so don’t tell him!)
I am wearing a GENIUS pair of new jeggings from H&M that are so soft and comfortable (hurray for stretch waist bands <- a sentence I never thought I’d say) and even though it’s hot out today, I couldn’t resist wearing them and giving them a test run.
After I had the shirt on, I decided to put a tank on underneath in case I got hot running errands and wanted to shed a layer.
Much better! (And, just so you know—I did indeed shed the plaid shirt and ran the last half of my errands in the tank.)
Let’s also touch for a moment on something you are likely never to see again: my red lipstick. For some crazy, oddball reason I thought that I would give it a try again, knowing full well that red lipstick is not my thing. The only upside? At least it matched the shirt. (Another bonus: when you wear red lipstick, you don’t have to wear eye makeup. Pick and choose, guys, pick and choose. One or the other.)
I got startled when I looked in my car’s rearview mirror, though, and swiped a bit of it off on my hand and put on some red lip gloss instead. It’s going to take me some time to get used to the clown lips, but I have faith that one day I shall wear them confidently. Until then, gloss and lip balm it is!

Well, it was a tiny bit cooler today than usual so—I went for it. Leggings. I haven’t had pants on my legs in three months and it felt nice to wear something more covered up without sweating like crazy. Let’s put it this way: I will NOT look back upon this summer’s fashion constraints with a smile on my face. There are only so many light, loose dresses one can cycle through.
I love the look of completely monochromatic legs with a bit of fun up top. Uh oh, I’m gonna have to start dragging out finding all my tights too! (Am I the only person that loses her tights and leggings over the summer?)

I’m preparing a big romper piece for Bon Marche and decided to wear this one tonight out to dinner with Brandon! We are celebrating his first day off in quite some time, the launch of Bon Marche and the fact that we are actually eating together before 9 pm! Lots to celebrate over here!
Clearly I like leaning the same way.
Back to the romper: I found it this weekend with my sister. It was like the romper jackpot this weekend as we were shopping. I’m a big romper devotee now after many months of looking at them with one eyebrow up. Really? Are you sure they don’t look like baby clothes? Eh, even if they do—I’m okay with that.
