How do you add a bit of cheer to gray?
How about a bit of yellow?
It’s been dreadfully dreary here in NC lately. Finally, today the sun came out for a bit. Thank my stars, it’s going to be much more bearable tomorrow.
I can’t take day after day of the rain. I need some sunshine in my life people! Much like this outfit would have been kind of blah…gray on gray on gray…if it weren’t for a bit of color from my cardigan.
I think it works, anyway.
I have a love hate relationship with pants.
…mainly because I’m short, curvy, and don’t have a typical thigh to butt to waist ratio.
Shopping for pants is almost as fun as shopping for a bathing suit. These pants from Banana Republic Factory Store is one of my favorite pairs. It’s a wool blend, which is perfect for winter, they’re flattering, and they never need an iron (most important).
I’d rather eat dirt than iron.
You think I’m joking, but I would eat a little bit of dirt every morning rather than iron pants. Fact.

Does your style mood change with the weather?
I am right there with you on ironing. I hate it so much! But I love that cardigan!
Thank you! I paid next to nothing for it on the clearance rack at BR. When I strike it rich one day, I’m going to pay someone to do all of my ironing for me.
I LOVE your outfit! So cute. And you look exactly like Carla Gallo in the first picture! She’s so pretty (and obviously so are you!).
Thanks! That’s a lovely compliment.
I have a yellow cardigan just like that! I love it, but sometimes find it hard to tone down… grey is a great idea!
I like it with neutrals and navy.
Cute outfit! I have been in school for the last couple of years, so I haven’t had to wear dress pants, thank goodness. I always find them so hard to fit as well.
I am also on board with no ironing; I don’t even own an iron …
Shopping for pants is my least fave shopping trip- my short torso and long legs don’t fit in most pants :/ Gah, ironing is one of my least fave household chores- I’ve have 6 pairs of pants waiting to be ironed for days… I’m starting to realized the longer I wait, the longer it’s gonna take to get them straight again!
I’m so with you on all of this! Someday we will have a third laundry appliance: a washer, dryer, and ironer…I just know it! We’ll just throw our clothes in and it will spit the out wrinkle free and on a hanger.
Let’s make one and sell it for bazillion of monies
I’m pretty sure all the women in the world will thank us!
Girl–your blog has been rockin’ lately! I love the recipes and the fashion– even though I’m not too up on fashion! I’m busy chasing babies everywhere! E
Aw, thanks! I’m sure my style posts will be lacking or non-existant when I have one of my own…unless sweatpants become really hot that year.
Can I please have your wardrobe? So cute!!
Anyone can have my wardrobe — just look at the clearance rack of banana, j. crew, and gap and there ya go.
