cargo and stripes.

tgif.

this is the birthday weekend for my family...mom, dad, niece, brother-in-law...all in a row. we have one big lunch planned for saturday, but i know we will have mini celebrations for each person on their actual birthdays. that means a whole lotta cake.

i must have a thing with wearing my cargo vest with stripes because i've done it here, here, and here.

maybe it's coincidence, or maybe it's because it seems

to make the stripes pop. either way, i like it.

what's your favorite combination these days?

one was not enough...

(vest, old navy; skirt, saks; shoes, zara; tee, gap)

steady hands.

of course, the day i had an opportunity to snap a few pics, i wasn't wearing anything blog worthy. just a casual friday outfit built around these shoes. in fact, all of my recent outfits have been built around these shoes, meaning lots of pencil skirts and cropped jeans. the fact that they are really comfortable doesn't help, but i'm sure i'll grow tired of them soon (not!).

tomorrow i'm volunteering at an event at the aquarium. i'm looking forward to it since it's been years since my last visit.
not sure what i'll be doing, but hopefully i can sneak away to take a few pictures.

what are you doing this weekend?

out of the blue, mini-he asked me to find

those "square things with the dots."

so, here's a couple of the creations i made with my steady hands!

(denim, true religion; sweater, express; shoes, zara; bag, rebecca minkoff x mark)
