Red Turtleneck and Camo Vest

I'm posting this outfit on April Fool's Day because a style blogger in Uggs is a bit of a joke. Out of desperation for something to wear to/from Bar Method in the winter, I bought a pair of $14 purple faux-Uggs. I quickly wore those out - and it was definitely not because I was working out a lot! It pained me to spend real Ugg money on such ugly shoes, but I finally bit the bullet. AND NOW I CAN'T TAKE THEM OFF.  My black Uggs paired with Magic Pants is my official uniform until Spring. Sorry not sorry.

Play Ball

Although I bought this sweater way back in Fall, the baseball hem still keeps it right on trend for Spring! This is a little more matchy-matchy than I usually go for, but I kept the shoes neutral and snuck in the randomness of the yellow hair tie to keep the look from feeling too forced.

I'm Still Jenny From The Colorblock

I have attempted to photograph this sweater/shirt/necklace combo on no less than three occasions  The first time was on Thanksgiving, where my sister from another mister, Ellery, gamely agreed to snap some shots with her Point and Shoot, but neither of us had a clue what we were doing. The second time was an exact replication at school with Jill, but the pictures mysteriously refused to appear on a thumb drive. This time, I changed up the bottom half and encountered no complications. (Which is interesting, since the last time I tried to wear these navy cords to school, an entire liter of orange soda exploded on me.)

Though these pieces had previously summoned bad karma, the universe was much more forgiving this time, since this was the day I was invited for a "real" job at my school! Between this and the engagement: Everything's coming up Milhouse lately :)



I prefer how the brown moccasins wink at the brown in the necklace, rather than the randomness of the tan shoes I wore before.



Below is a strangely colored picture from Thanksgiving. We were pretty rushed so the background is a little odd and you can't see my shoes in the grass. The only differences here are pants and shoes, and less accessories.

Earn Your Stripes

This was running errands look early on Saturday morning. I hadn't even showered yet, so the hair is in a side braid.

I was getting bored of my pants options, and I realized I could finally break out the cororouys again! I have these pants in 3 colors. I found them at GAP 2 years ago on extreme sale (they were, like, $15), so I picked them up in navy, gray, and winter white. I hemmed and hawed about buying the hot pink ones, and now I'm sad that I didn't!

These pants have a higher waist (NOT "high waisted", those look ridiculous on my short torso!) so they are  super flattering. And stretchy, so super comfy, too!

 The denim (stretch!) moto jacket is from a trip to England about 10 years ago. I got it from an unfamiliar store called Uniglo (!) which my travel companion and I referred to as the Japanese Gap. Lo and behold, now Uniglos are popping up all over the states!

The t shirt is another decade old item. It originally had elastic rouching up the sides (notice the mismatched striped at the seams), but I took the elastic out and this is a great layering piece I have yet to get rid of.



The purple sunglasses might be a little overkill. I just grabbed them on the way out the door and didn't think much of it. Tortoise shell would've been a better option, but those are sitting on my mother's foyer table across the country. Oops.
