You’d think from my post a few weeks ago that I’d stop taking red eye flights, but no. My friend Georgie was getting married in DC and I had to be there. And, I didn’t want to use vacation time because I’m frugal. So, we took a red eye Friday night and got in Saturday morning. Only to do it again Sunday night.

Believing that comfy clothes are the key to success on these trips, this was my attire. But, I was wrong. I did sleep for much of it, but 5 hours on a plane is not a full night’s sleep, regardless of what you’re wearing.

As a side note, I decided to pick a dress with my leggings knowing that it was going to be in the 80’s when we got in and my body had quickly forgotten what humidity feels like.

Is it creepy that my inspiration for this outfit was a lady at a restaurant that I snuck a picture of? She was really cute and I enjoyed the simplicity of it. But, I hate her. The luncheon was a work one that my coworker brought me as her guest. They did a drawing for a free iPad. This woman drew the name. I didn’t win. She obviously didn’t have any passion for my need for an iPad on the train.

You all know how much I love leopard print anything. So, this outfit was a must.

I’m digging this purple blazer as I try to convince myself that I don’t need more colored blazers. This was my outfit for yesterday. No inspiration – I really need to look up outfits instead of wedding plans.

I love having weeks that you actually feel prepared for. We spent yesterday grocery shopping, planning our menus for the week, doing laundry, ironing, repairing a pair of my KISA’s suit pants, etc. It makes me feel so much better when I wake up on a Monday morning, prepare for the day.

Sunday morning we decided to go out to brunch with our guests to an AMAZING restaurant called Brenda’s. Brenda’s is a Cajun restaurant and I’ve loved all my meals I’ve had there, so naturally I was convinced we’d love brunch just as much. Well, I was wrong – brunch was even more incredible than dinner. I mean, I’m salivating just thinking about it…

Oh yeah, and I wore clothes to brunch. Check it out! This was my inspiration:

Scarf: H&M; Sweater: Old Navy; Belt: Gap; Jeans: Mango; Boots: Aldo

I really like the idea of wearing all white, but I’m not sure how comfortable I feel trying to pull it off. On Saturday night my KISA had a college friend and his girlfriend in town. We had dinner and some drinks and they stayed over. I decided I had to again try out one of my new J. Crew Factory pieces for dinner. This is about as close to all white as I feel comfortable with right now. Oh, and I didn’t spill anything on myself – SUCCESS!!

My fun-loving FIANCE. (So weird.)

On Saturday we took the ferry across the bay to Sausalito to meet some friends for a late lunch and drinks. I had just gotten some new things in the mail from J.Crew Factory and decided it was time for me to try color on color. I’m not gonna lie – when the random girl on the bus told me she loved everything about my outfit I did a mental fist pump!

Friday was 2 years of knowing my Knight in Shining Armor and our first opportunity to celebrate our engagement. We went out to an incredible restaurant in downtown San Francisco, where I proceeded to get a little tipsy with my fiance.

I’m getting pretty excited about summer, even though there isn’t a real summer in San Francisco. Instead I decided to make my own.
