Casual Attempt

This was my attempt at wearing something casual on purpose to work. I'm not really sure why that was my intention, but this is what I wound up in. It still involved a minimally heeled shoe so I don't know how casual it really is. I tried.

I picked this vest up in Vegas at the Nordstrom at Fashion Show Mall. From about 10 steps away I was convinced it was real leather. It's not, which makes it even better for summer. I envision wearing it over a maxi in the coming weeks.

Leather Leggings to the Rescue

This striped "top" is supposed to be a dress! Problems of a tall girl, or maybe that's just what Forever 21 thinks is long enough to be considered a dress. Lucky for me these faux-leather leggings saved me from baring way too much leg to the good people of Chicago.

Knit Sparkles

This is a look from a winter day were I didn't want to admit to myself that it was necessary to wear a coat! I thought if I just piled on the layers that I could warmly walk two blocks down the street to the store. It kinda worked although I wound up feeling a little lumpy. But who really cares when you are just going to the grocery store? Well, I guess me, since I am wearing a sparkly sweater, lip color and jewelry.

Yeah, nevermind.
