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…

Work? Meh.
Like most people, I had to work on Monday. And like most people, I wasn’t looking forward to it. See, it was friend from Louisiana’s last day in town and she was going to have to explore our beautiful city all by herself. Thankfully my boss had mercy on me and let me leave after lunch.
We proceeded to see the city in the only way we knew how – shopping at H&M. Now, we’ve traveled a lot of places together and explored a lot of countries. But, there was never a city we didn’t explore without stopping at the H&M, regardless of if we’d just been there the day before in another city.

Girl talk! Now, one thing I forget is how incredible it is to get a new bra. Like, seriously. I may have gone a bit overboard as I purchased five new ones, but they’re so great! And, they’re only $15 at H&M and fit perfectly. If you haven’t treated yourself lately – please do so. Your new-found perky boobs will thank you. And so will the man in your life (or woman – I don’t discriminate).

Last Morning in Napa
On our last morning we went to this really eclectic restaurant for brunch. You ate breakfast on picnic tables while chickens ran around on the ground. It seemed cute at the time until you got your food and realized that it was kind of gross to watch them while you ate. I’m not sure if the health department has made a lot of visits.
In knowing we were going back to the city I dressed in layers and boy was I glad I did. While it was in the 80’s and 90’s in Napa, it was in the 60’s in SF.

Outlet Malls
I’ve finally started adding a line at the bottom of clothing posting, listing where I purchased each of the items. Most of my things are at least a season old (many 3+ years), but for the new ones I’ll let you know it was this season if you want to check it out.
In adding my listings I realized that a lot of my things are from outlet/factory stores because I hate paying full price. And, there’s an outlet mall in Napa. AND, J.Crew had everything in the store 40%. So, you might be seeing some new items mixed into my closet in the coming weeks.
This was my shopping attire and later more wine tasting.

Hats II
Time for some summer clothes! This is what I wore to Napa to hang out with a couple of crazy friends that were in town visiting and to do some wine tasting. Between some networking and some flirting, we didn’t pay for a wine tasting all day or the next.

Blueeeeee
I bought some blue skimmer skinnies a while ago and don’t really know what to think of them. They’re very basic and very blue. Today I found inspiration from a pin that I wanted to try. I’m still not sure what I think of them, but at least I’m figuring out how to match them with outfits. Ok, let’s admit that I’m matching them with all neutrals. I hope at some point in time to do a color-on-color match, inspired by my Indian work friend. We’ll see if I can go that far. For now, this is an accomplishment.

The Color of Love
I love my red pants. Love is an understatement. Have you ever had a pair of pants that fit you exactly right, hit right where you wanted, and most importantly, made your butt look good? That’s my red pants from Express. There’s a reason I love them.
Yesterday I decided to pair them with all white because of a pintrinspiration I’d found.
