Weekend Outfit: somewhat matchy matchy

6.15.2012

I have never been matchy matchy. In fact probably nothing in my outfit matches, but have always made it work somehow. At least in my opinion 🙂 But lately, I have been really into matching outfits. Must be that 80’s girl in me coming out again. This little number, is somewhat matchy but not quite. Matchy in a quirky way, so totally me. And of course I kept in mind what would be bicycle riding appropriate. A dress that’s not TOO short, a light weight purse, and heels that easily sit on the pedal. As well flea market shopping and fancy brunching appropriate. Because isn’t that what weekends are all about?

Make Out Fall Out.

Or wait maybe it says make art? That would make more sense as this is taken in good ol Bushwick.

Cut it out.

5.17.2012

This has been my favorite little spring gem lately. The long sleeves make up for the super shortness of the dress, oh but then there are cut outs too (oops).  It is getting hot already, but it’s perfect to wear at night when it cools off and you don’t want to lug a jacket around.  And I am loving all the blues and hunter green in this floral, feels fresh.  This is a thrift find at Beacon’s Closet and back pack is vintage from Stella Dallas.

Traveling Chic.

Hi friends! Just got back from an amazing weekend in Detroit, suffering a bit from food coma though 🙂 It’s good to be back in New York to my salad and smoothie routine. As much as I love dining out, I prefer cooking at home, it’s nice to know what is going in the food, you know 🙂  Here is a quick snapshot of me arriving in Detroit. My go to airport outfit: high bun, sweater, fancy necklace, skinny jeans, high heels(but comfy) and a good ol big bag like this one from Rebecca Minkoff.  I am absolutely terrified of flying, but I do love airports. Which is why it is important for me to dress up a lil and enjoy the scene at the Airport Lounge! If you are following me on Instagram….then you have already seen this lil candid gem—but if you are not, you should be! @laceeswan
