We are catching up on some much needed rain here in Pittsburgh.  The sunshine comes back our way this weekend just in time for the Pittsburgh Jazz Live concerts that are going on.  I'm hoping to attend a free concert for Chaka Khan this Sunday.  It all depends if I get my packing done by then.

I wore this ensemble to work at Madewell yesterday.  I realized I exuded a retro 70s vibe especially with my hair. Sorry for the non-smile outtakes, I was getting a little frustrated with my camera.  All my photos are taken with my tripod so it takes several attempts before a good shot.

I'm praying for great weather next week in Cape May for our vacation.  TGIF!

I wore this ensemble to work at Madewell last weekend.  As much as I gravitate towards boho chic looks I'm also drawn to polished ones as well.  It's something about the classy and put together women that inspires me.  I think it's the elegance and confidence that is alluring.

That is what I was channeling when pulling this look together, confidence and elegance wrapped into one.  Not too many accessories just the usual suspects.

On a different note my family and I are headed off for vacation next week to Cape May,NJ.  I'm excited for the beach and thrifting while I'm away.  Fingers crossed for good finds in Cape May xxxx

Happy Wednesday

It's starting to feel like summer and I just purchased our local pool passes to enjoy for the season.  

I wore this ensemble yesterday to work.  Believe it or not I was having second thoughts on this skirt after I purchased it, not sure why but I'm over it now!  I paired this lovely skirt with a Lagelle upcycle vintage top.  I thrifted the vintage floral tank and knitted the sleeves right on to create a more romantic look.  Gold tones have been a fav. lately so I choose this belt from my massive assortment of belts to extenuate my waist.

Although I love to pile accessories on I've been trying to cut back and go with the less is more look.  Just by adding the right accessories you can pull your look together but I'm learning that sometimes minimal accessories can look just as good!

TGIF!
