Leaving California…
Guess where I get to go for the long weekend?! Back to my hometown to see my family and my precious 6 nieces and nephews!! (Trust me, they’re REALLY precious. I want to eat them.) Then, as if that wasn’t great enough, we’re going to Chicago to see my KISA’s brother and my bff and her hubby. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself!
I will take pictures during my trip, but since it’s such a short trip with so many people to see I’m not certain when I’ll get a chance to post.
This was my outfit yesterday and inspiration. Today I’m working from home and wearing athletic shorts and a hoodie, so I’m guessing you all don’t care much about that ensemble. Oh, and in my next posting I’ll tell you why what you wear can be very important.
Tee: Gap; Scarf: H&M (this season); Jeans: Levi’s; Shoes: Nine West
Polka Remix
Ok, so I know I used this inspiration once before, but it’s a different cardigan and therefore a more literal interpretation. (Even though it’s not a blazer. And I’m not wearing heels. And don’t have a purse like that.) The first one is the inspiration, the second is an outfit I wore on 4/21/13, and the third is what I wore today.
Cardigan: Gap Factory; Top: China; Belt: Banana Republic Factory; Jeans: Levi’s; Shoes: Lands End Canvas
Alone Time
Is it bad to really love it when my KISA is gone? He had a work event tonight, which meant I was home alone for the evening. Whoop, whoop!!! Granted I didn’t do anything for the evening, but that’s why it was so great!
My inspiration.
Jacket: Express; Shirt: Zara (this season); Belt: H&M (this season); Pants: Gap (this season); Shoes: Lands End Canvas
Black and White
Here is the inspiration for my outfit on Monday.
Cardigan: Walmart brand; Shirt: Custom made in China; Jeans: Mango; Shoes: Nine West; Pearl necklace: China; Gold necklace: Kay Jewelers
Bay to Breakers
Since moving to San Francisco, I’ve been continuously hearing about Bay to Breakers. Since most of you have not live in SF, I’ll explain it to you. Bay to Breakers is a big race in the city and it starts at the crack of dawn. Only you don’t run it, you walk it. Ok, so maybe there are crazy people that run it, but for the thousands of other people, you dress up in obnoxious outfits or clothes (or for some, don’t dress up at all and just go naked) and day drink. My KISA and I dressed up with another couple and threw our costume together the afternoon before the “race”. We started out wanting to be the Harlem Globetrotters. People started calling us the Dream Team and we then decided we really didn’t care what people called us.
Friday Happy Hour
Friday happy hour has become a somewhat regular thing for me with my KISA and his coworkers. It’s nice being able to put a face to the names and get to know they a little bit better. And, I’m not gonna lie, I love hearing them tell me how much he gushes about me.
Since I worked from home for the day I decided to do all of our laundry while the apartment washers and dryers were available. I do realize I wore these clothes earlier in the week, but they didn’t know that.
My inspiration.
Jacket: The Limited; Shirt: J.Crew (this season); Necklace: Urban Peach Boutique (this season); Belt: H&M (this season); Jeans: Levi’s; Shoes: Zara (this season)
They Call Me Mellow Yellow
Ok, so maybe mellow has never been a word used to explain me.
And, I was seriously that dork that was taking pictures of the Google signs and the Google bikes. Aren’t they cute??
My gracious coworker Mansi invited me to join her for lunch with her husband at his work…Google. (I’m that dorky girl that gets excited about visiting a company I’ve heard of, even though there are tons of them around Mountain View. I’m even that way when I see a building or sign for a company that I’ve heard of, which seems to happen a lot around here. I get to rub elbows with a bunch of the big, techy geniuses. Ok, I digress.)
We toured only one of the campuses at Google. They have about 15,000 employees that work at Google in Mountain View, so you can probably imagine they have a few campuses. And, each campus has a bunch of cafes where you can eat – they even take reservations. They’re pretty swanky “cafes” too (I suppose Google is a multi-billion dollar company). We went to an Indian restaurant, which was kind of cool to do with people from India to explain more about the food and drinks, as well as how to eat some of it. I liked every single thing I tried and have recently declared Indian my favorite cuisine – which will come in handy when I’ll be visiting there (no suitcase of food for this girl). The best part was the food was free. Mansi’s husband decided to treat us to a dessert bar, so we went to another “café” for that.
Oh yeah. And, this is what I wore for the day and my inspiration.
Cardigan: Gap Factory (this season); Tee: Mossimo; Belt: Banana Republic Factory; Jeans: Levi’s; Shoes: Zara (this season)
Orange Ya Glad I Wore These Again?
I’m lucky because my best friend coincidentally has the same pair of pants as me and has pinned my last two inspirations on what to wear with them. Although I’m guessing she looks waaay cuter in them because she has an inherent ability to always look good.
I love tucking, but my KISA convinced me to untuck today. I apologize for the pic – I’m not sure why it looks like I’m pushing my bust out…
Tee: Banana Republic Factory; Necklace: Forever 21; Pants: Gap Factory; Shoes: Lands End Canvas
Gingham and Red
I was more exited about this outfit as an idea than execution. Granted, it looks ok, but it didn’t feel as smooth as I would have liked. The good news is that I have a new gingham shirt coming that I can try again with.
Blazer: Express; Shirt: J.Crew Factory (this season); Belt: H&M (this season); Pants: Express; Shoes: Lands End Canvas
