I was bad this week about both getting dressed and taking photos (this cover pic is recycled from last weekend’s bachelorette in the mountains). I know people talk about how important it is to get dressed every day, but I’m really not good at it, despite how much I love fashion. Thank goodness I work a hybrid job because I’m not convinced I would ever get dressed if I didn’t have to go into the office!

I somehow still managed to be productive today even though I just wore athletic clothes. My all-time favorite planner (the Passion Planner) gives a quote and weekly challenge in each weekly spread, which I rarely ever do. But this week’s challenge was to exercise once a day, so I made it a point to at the very least go on a walk every day this week.

It was rainy and cooler today so I opted for this new(ish) light purple sweater and my houndstooth trousers—a new combo for me but definitely one I’ll be wearing again! I thought the outfit would look good with a statement necklace, but I couldn’t bring myself to wear one… Normally I don’t really care about trends, but a statement necklace is just too out of style, even for me. While I love the dainty jewelry vibe, sometimes an outfit just calls for a chunkier piece!

Sweater: Banana Republic, $45 ($15.00 per wear) | Houndstooth Pants: JCPenney, $19 ($0.73 per wear), last worn here | Black Flats: Rothy’s, $100 ($5.00 per wear)

I knew I wanted to wear a skirt today, which after a couple of iterations led me to this new combo! I love how the top and skirt pair together. I thought this outfit would look best with heels, but I was just not in the mood for proper heels today… so I opted for these red snakeskin block sandals instead. I wasn’t sure about the combo at first but think I like it—the subtle pattern mixing is unexpected.

Printed Blouse: Clara Sunwoo, $125 ($125 per wear), last worn here | Black Leather Skirt: Scout and Molly Boutique, $105 ($5.83 per wear), last worn here | Red Snakeskin Sandals: DSW, $30 ($2.00 per wear), last worn here

Today’s outfit is the first of the week that’s not a new combo—this is actually one of my go-to summer looks. I was lazy with my hair today and decided on a braided ponytail, which in theory is cute, but never looks very good in photos…

White Blouse: Thrifted, $12 ($1.00 per wear), last worn here | Denim Jacket: JCPenney, $19 ($0.09 per wear), last worn here | Skirt: JCPenney, $25 ($1.47 per wear), last worn here | Sandals: DSW, $45 ($0.70 per wear), last worn here | Belt: Thrifted, $3 ($0.33 per wear), last worn here

Friday, May 24

I had a very productive work-from-home day, which felt so good before the long weekend. And I spent the evening working on my college scrapbook—I still have junior and senior year to go (including my semester abroad) but the book is already huge! I might have to break it into two.

Saturday, May 25

I had a perfectly lazy Saturday before my boyfriend and I met up with my aunt’s family for dinner in Boulder. I originally had a much more summery outfit planned, but it turned out to be very windy and even drizzled a bit—the cardigan was definitely the right move.

Black Tank: American Eagle, $8 ($0.53 per wear), last worn here | Sweater: JCPenney, $18 ($0.86 per wear), last worn here | Cropped Flared Jeans: Express, $40 ($0.55 per wear), last worn here | Sneakers: Thrifted Steve Madden, $20 ($1.82 per wear), last worn here

Sunday, May 26

Another lazy day gone by without getting dressed… Though in my head I was wearing a fabulous beaded Regency Era gown, since I spent most of the day binging “Bridgerton” (I’m rewatching the first two seasons before starting the new one).

. . . . .

Slim pickings for outfits this week, but I’m obsessed with how Wednesday’s look came together. I love yellow even though I know some people are diehard haters! As always, thanks for stopping by the blog today.
