Roman Date

Ok, so its not faux leather this time, but somehow all my Friday posts involve me wearing an all-black ensemble. It just happens, without fail, at least once a week. I guess it's my dark side that needs to get out.

This was what I wore out to dinner one night. Then after dinner we went back to the hotel where I promptly changed shoes and put on some comfy flats. I know I'm a city girl who pretty much walks all over downtown Chicago at home, but man there is a whole lot of walking in Vegas! Thank goodness I brought a bunch of flats!

Have a happy weekend all!

Faux Leather Friday

This infusion of faux leather seems to be a little Friday trend I'm starting. Last week it was this Zara top with faux leather pocket and shoulder panels, and this week it's on these awesome new leggings from Topshop. I love them now but will I be able to get away with these while teaching? Hmmm... I'll find a way.

I tend to have an overly colorful wardrobe. I think my closet pretty much has every shade of the rainbow and then some. But about once a week I crave a tougher look, something that consists of dark shades of clothing and a bit smokier makeup. I guess it balances out all the girliness of the bright and cheery colors I wear the other 6 days of the week.

I am a little addicted to Zara t-shirts lately. So comfy and cool all at a reasonable price. They always have enough detail to step them up from the average tee. And my favorite part is that they are long which is great for us tall girls who like to wear the legging and tee look and still keep covered up. 

Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!

Rosy

Long ago I was a silver girl, then for the past 4 years I was a yellow gold lover. Now that yellow gold has taken over nearly all my accessories, I'm trying to incorporate more silver and rose gold. These rose gold mirrored heels from Nine West were a great start. H&M has some really great rose gold options right now too.

On a weather-related note, I really wanted to wear something that wasn't a tank top or a sleeveless dress. I want some layering weather, darn it! Even Sunday was a treat, at 80 degrees, so comfortable and breezy... seriously it was so welcomed! I even slept with my windows open for the first time in a long time (only to be awoken the next morning to a crazy man banging on a pole yelling "I'm not crazy".... oh, but you are sir).  My hair, silk blouses and pants are all sick of this weather!

Here are my buys from the sale.That bangle set has made an appearance on my wrist in some shape or form everyday this week. And those Sam Edelman "Petty" boots are so soft and practical for the Fall, I had to buy them in 2 colors! Hope you get a chance to check the sale out yourself!
