Muji chambray dress

We were in San Francisco a few weeks ago and BK and I were taking the bus to Japantown.  At one of the stops, a bunch of elderly Asian women got on and BK gave up his seat for one of them.  Her friend then proceeded to stand in front at me and gestured at me with her head, making a click-y noise (like you would to a horse) to indicate that I should give her my seat as well (which I did of course--age trumps pregnancy).  I'm still waiting on these so-called pregnancy perks! :)

Worishofer love

These APC sandals were totally out of my price range, but I found a pretty good substitute--I am addicted to Worishofers, they are so comfy and I'm so excited to wear these out this spring! 

Sizing tip: go up one for a more comfortable fit, ie I'm a size 7 and always get a sz 38

Vacation!

A quick outfit snap while shopping on Orchard Rd in Singapore.  I'm trying to be good and purchase only special and wearable items that catch my eye.  So far I've spent most of my money on food anyways! :)

Plaid skirt

 

I've been pulling out my favorite summer pieces to wear for the next few weeks before they go into storage for the next five months or so.   While I'll be sad to say goodbye to this plaid skirt, I'm pretty sure I have plenty of plaid button downs ready to help me greet fall!

Jcrew madras popover

I really love plaid shirts and the print on this popover is one of my favorites.  It's a little tricky to find plaids that aren't too masculine or straight from the farm.  This thrifted denim skirt is a workhorse in my wardrobe, perfect for casual fridays or the weekend.  I'm once again photo-bombed by Kirby and a golfer in the top right hand side.  Fore!

The Comfort Shoe Paradox

So I just think I went a bit too far in the grandma shoe department.  I love Worishofers beyond belief for their comfort and am needing a good pair of shoes to wear for my upcoming trip to NYC.  It's going to be below 70 degrees and all my walkable shoes are either sandals (cold toes), flats (need more arch support) or too high (a true Texan stereotype--we drive everywhere).  Enter these babies: they're half sandal, half clog which should keep my feet relatively warm, and have the best arch support for trekking all over the city for vintage treasures, lobster rolls, bagels and more shopping.  I'm torn between feeling practical about my shoe choice to the horror of wearing orthopedic shoes in the most fashionable city in the country.  I might be brave and sneak a picture for you guys while I'm there.  Or maybe it's best not to have any photographic evidence...

Malia bird skirt

Here's another blue/green combination outfit.  I find myself wearing this color combination a lot in the summer as well as other bright colors.  Then in the winter I escape into black and greys.  How about you?  What's your favorite fashion color combination?

Worishofer love

Comfort shoes are a staple in my wardrobe.  If a shoe is cute and comfortable, I am more than happy to hand over my credit card.  Worishofers are a German comfort shoe, made for well, the older set, but why should age stand in the way of a good arch support?  I haven't worn my Worishofers (yes, plural) much this summer as my No6 and Dansko clogs have been in heavy rotation.  Yet I enjoyed pulling these out yesterday and greeted them like a long lost friend.  This khaki skirt is one of my Chicago thrift finds and is vintage (double score!)--I love the high waist, the drape of the skirt and also, they have snack pockets!  And in "this never happens" thrift shopping, I found the exact same skirt--same brand, same color, just a different size and will be putting it on our Hunt Gather Style shop for October!
