isn’t this always the way it goes? the moment the weather gets crazy nice (read: 70 degrees and up in february), i come down with a cold that just won’t quit. but when you get sick with this damn virus, there’s not much you can do but wait it out. so i’ve been making the best of it by alternating between long naps and short stints outside to enjoy the warm weather. i bought this little sailor blouse a number of weeks ago with the intent of taking it with me on my upcoming trip to hawaii, but i got lucky and had the opportunity to take it for a spin just the other day. i occasionally like to mix things up and try new silhouettes and things, so i opted to pair it with some high rise trousers that are admittedly veering into harem pants territory, but i still enjoyed the overall effect. i wasn’t intentionally doing it, but i feel like these shapes are very ’90s. perhaps something that would have been sported by courtney cox or jennifer aniston circa friends. add the trench coat for some pink panther spy action and you’ve got my outfit.
p.s. are you loving my blue steel in that first photo? not sure what was going on there… i’ll just blame the cold meds and keep on enjoying this strange february sun!

another fave to add to my lookbook. J’adore! pants….want want want
Oh how I adore this look on you. The Colors look great and I think the heels give it that something extra.
thanks! i’ve discovered that if i wanna wear high rise pants like this, heels are key! i switched to flats later in the day because we were doing a lot of walking and it just didn’t have the same impact!
gorgeous outfit! the mix of colours is so amazing.

i really love your hair! It makes you really nice. And your outfit are beautiful and original!
Look at you with your “I’m amazing” face in the first photo. I love it!! Your outfit is so pretty and colorful on you! How do you do long naps? When I try to nap I am a mess when I wake up. . .I feel like I should keep my mouth closed and not talk or move. It makes me feel awful.
haha, i actually don’t do long naps. i was only sleeping a lot because i was sick and my body was forcing me to do it. i normally can’t take long naps, either!
Cute! It’s def 90s style, but I’d say it’s more of an Elaine from Seinfeld than Monica from Friends. Any you know Elaine is an awesome dancer ;)
