Vacation Ready!

As this posts, Janice and I will be on our way to London and Paris for the next week.  As a send off, I’m posting an outfit that I consider very resort and vacation ready.  This sheer shirt and flowy palazzo pants make me feel like traveling.  I’m still deciding whether or not to bring these pants as they require that I wear heels, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull off heels with all of the walking I know we’ll be doing.  I’ll put up posts about our trip when I return, but I will still schedule posts while I’m away.  In the meantime, you can follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to see my most current adventures while abroad (I think my husband and son can also keep tabs on me that way, too).  Cheers and see you when I get back!

Outfit –  ECI pants; Cotton On shirt; American Apparel clutch; Matiko “Paris” wedges; Ring from The Shangri-La; Michael Kors watch; Tiffany & Co necklace; Coach sunnies; Beaded bracelets were gifts from friends 

Remix Update: Outfits 5 & 6

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Not a whole lot of green in this post, except for maybe the ivy next to me and a little bit of the leaves of my dress.

I broke down and bought the rose-gold watch that I have been eyeing for the past 2 weeks now. One of my friends just bought a rose-gold Michael Kors watch recently and I secretly lusted after it from afar. It has a vintage vibe to it, which reminds me of my father’s watches. This beautiful rose-gold watch with a dark pearlized face is also by Michael Kors. I promise that this watch is the last purchase until after Easter. The watch is so pretty up close, and this picture doesn’t do it justice.


From the “30 for 30” rules, outfits can be worn over a period of any 30 days. I really do intend to only remix during the days of Lent. If I don’t go anywhere that requires the use of an outfit from the remix, then I will extend the days so that the outfits reach 40. Since I didn’t go anywhere on Sunday, I will go over by 1 day (so far). So here are outfits 5 and 6, which was this past Monday and Tuesday. Isn’t this Kinder Aggugini dress adorable? The whole line at Macy’s is great, and I hope that it’s still around after Easter.

I have 3 skirts to choose from, again of varying lengths. I wanted to make this outfit a little on the easy and casual side for my new Jeffrey Campbell “Kelley” oxfords. I love the cut-out effect because while they are definitely brogues, they feel like sandals. I’m glad that I could get 2 styles for the price of one, which opens up my remixing even more. Speaking of remixing, I seem to have already worked this Cotton On cardigan into 3 outfits already. Plus, I’ve used the American Apparel leather pouch with every outfit so far. I guess I’ve discovered couple of a staples!
