Weekend Blur
Saturday found us in a mess of wind, rain and slow a** drivers as a storm rolled through Southern California. We had to meet the designers at the restaurant
rather early (read: before noon which is like 6am to me--sad but true), so I rolled out
of bed and tossed on a grandpa sweater, a pair of jeans and some trusty boots.
Why did I ever leave Seattle again?

After watching this stuff on tv for so many years it's been fun and interesting to watch
these people work their magic to come up with the coolest ideas.
What we have is a bare demo'd room at present, so we're pretty excited to see how it
all comes together. I'll share pictures when it's all finished!
On a random note: I passed out on the couch pretty early on Friday night only to awake to
this hot mess staring me in the face around 3am.
Do the words 'stay out of the water' mean nothing anymore??!?
Disney's Oceans was on and, as someone who is a member of the JAWS generation,
the shark parts hit just a lit-tle too close to home. Dry land people. Dry land!!
Needless to say I sat there riveted for the last half of the movie.
Think deer in the headlights.
You'll notice Instagram has once again dominated the Saturday activities. Perhaps I'll pull it together enough to locate my real camera at some point this week. Niiiiiiiice. Blame it on all the naps I needed to take and movies I needed to watch this weekend. Ha! What were you up to?
The Winds are Blowing
I've decided to basically wave the bird to most of the 80's and 90's fashions littering up stores at present. Not all, but most. You know I've been going off about what's available, or shall I say unavailable, for awhile and I'm pretty much over myself and my inability to get motivated to get dressed. I mean let's face it: sweats and a t-shirt can only last so long, even for me (totally lying to myself). One day last week I saw a pile of clothes lying on my bed--all soft tones--and it donned on me: just wear what you want already. Quit your friggin' whining and make a plan. So here's the beginning of my plan: soft fabrics in warm colors, loungy dresses, cushy sweaters, mixed with denim and boots. That's all I've got so far, but at least I'm no longer in my pj's staring into the closet in a trance.
This weekend I did some window shopping and hit a few jackpots, one in particular at Madewell (I go through phases where I seriously love everything in that store). Very rarely is there ever a dress left in my size once sale hits, but this time I was in luck. Eventually I'll get to wear it with the scarf and some otk striggings, but this time the scarf only made it through the pictures before the 80 degree weather sent it flying into the back of the car as we sped off. I can't complain too much -- it'll be cold all winter so might as well enjoy it while it lasts!

Exhibit A: le scarf.
Exhibit B: the fall outfit complete with scarf.
Boots--rediscovered during a closet dive last year. Sometimes it pays to hang onto things.

Faded Autumn Colors in Lace
One of my favorite things about fall is the marvelous sunsets. I don't know if it's the crisp breeze in the air or the shortening days, but the colors lighting up the sky recently have been absolutely breathtaking. A part of my commitment to getting back to a healthy work/life balance is making time either early in the morning or late afternoon to catch the beauty of the sun. Have you ever noticed how colors look wonderfully warm and faded in the earliest and latest hours of the day?
Aside from the variety of texture and fabric that appears in fashion, my favorite thing about fall is muted colors: warm greys, taupes, greens, and mauves in particular. If you were to come over and peek into my closet you would find piles of grey sweaters in varying shades and forms. As much as I love grey (and I do have a deep love in my heart for it (as evidenced here, here and here) - are you with me ladies?) I have to be careful or it will take over and leave me feeling a little drab, so when I saw these lace shorts at Madewell it was a no-brainer. They are the perfect shade, add just the right amount of texture and can be dressed up or down to carry me through days and evenings into the Holiday season.

Falke striggings, Cordani boots}
PANYC bracelet, Melinda Maria Link Oxidized and Circle rings,
and, of course, scalloped edge perfection on the shorts.
Even if my legs are close to the same color.
I re-discovered these boots on a closet dive recently.
(my version of an in-home dumpster dive for those of you wondering)

They were purchased on steep sale at Ped Shoes a few years ago,
and are perfect for fall - with or without the amazing
thigh-high striggings (also seen here) rolled down to just above the knee.
That's air billowing the blouse and not muffin top. I swear.
And then she strolled off into the sunset and never looked back.
The End.
Happy Tuesday everyone! Is it Thanksgiving yet?
