What I Wore: Pattern Combustion

So I spent this entire photo shoot trying to smile naturally. This is the result. Smiling is really difficult, you guys!

My Horizontal Lines

Ever since I rediscovered this shirt at the bottom of my laundry hamper, I’ve been totally in love with it. It’s so comfortable and soft and fits great. You’re probably going to be seeing a lot more of it in the future.

In a move completely uncharacteristic of me, I got my first mani-pedi this week. Not bad. I’m not sure if it’s worth the $35 plus tip I paid for it, but it was a fun experience. And my nails were pretty for awhile.

What I Wore: IKAT

My co-corker said the pattern on this skirt is called an ‘IKAT.’ I’ve never heard the term before.


I love a wrap-around skirt, but I am always too fat for them. But, I won’t let that stop me. I wore this wrap-around apron-style.
