Tuesday: Aunt Jemima

First off, go wish my dad a Happy Birthday, and try not to laugh too hard at our garish 1970s clothes. :)

Okay, now that you are back, I have a confession to make: I am seriously crazy about my long leggings.

So fun, so comfortable, so perfect for cool spring days in a semi-air-conditioned windowless office. You guys should expect to start seeing them a lot more often.

The dress is another knit tee-shirt-type, a cute purple tie-back I got at Marshalls last summer. It's pretty casual which makes it unsuitable for a regular work dress, but it has been reborn as a tunic-over-leggings! The layering tee is one I picked up on super-sale at Ann Taylor a couple of weeks ago, the flyaway cardigan is my favorite Target one, the zippered leggings are from Kohls, and the belt is one of my finds from the Connecticut consignment store. $6, and sooooo cooooool.

Lastly, the flats are new from Target. Teal studded peeptoe, can you dig it? Surprisingly comfortable too, although I wouldn't call them walking-around-town shoes. I love the little twisted bow, but I think the same thing every time I look at them, and I am guessing you will too.

  4. Actually I was thinking they remind me of a corn bugle (do they still make those), but that probably has more to do with me than with the actual shape of your shoes...haha. Anyway, you look divine in the leggings! I'm on board, I'm on board!
