Of Polka Dots and Sunshine

Father's Day is a well-deserved holiday. This year it was even more special because it is the first Father's Day that I've been able to spend with my dad in a few years. Thus, I felt like the day deserved a put-together outfit, well, at least for church. After church it is definitely a sweatpants party in this house. Except it is summer, so we are all definitely rocking shorts and baggy shirts. On a more fashionable note, I'm in love with polka dots. Specifically, I'm in love with my polka dot skirt. With this summer weather, I can help but to wear bright colors and polka dots. I love summer!!

The Breakdown
Skirt: Banana Republic, thrifted; Button Up: Cotton On; Headband: H & M; Flats: Gap

In summation, it was a beautiful and sunny Father's Day, which was spent in good company. Lately, I wouldn't have my life any other way.

Love,
Evi

Fashion Friday on Saturday... Work Attire!

Okay so here is epic fail on fashion blogging round 2. Sorry it's on Saturday again, but you know what it's my blog and my rules... so I'm going to stop apologizing now!!

This is a work outfit. By midweek I'm over being in uncomfortable work clothes. This skirt has made many appearances before and I'm pretty sure it is my favorite skirt. In all honesty, I'd wear it every single day if I could. It's feminine, it's floral, it's comfy, AND it has pockets.
I LOVE IT.

Anyways, this is considered business casual but I love the colors and prints so I think it is blog worthy! :)

[Sweater and V-Neck: Target. Skirt: DownEast Outfitters. Shoes: Steve Madden (These are my favorite heels. Can you tell?)]

So there you have it. Fashion Friday is finished. Now get off your bums and enjoy the remnants of Summer!!

Love, Evi

Fashion Friday on Saturday... Again.

Sorry guys, really I should just make it "Fashion Saturday" because I'm lacking in my ability to make posts on Fridays. Honestly though, do you blame me? Fridays are days to relax and slack off. Well my friends, Fridays have been glorious this Summer and I'm going to miss them. Anyways...

I love getting dressed up and wearing girly skirts and dresses.
I have to get dressed up for work everyday, even though it is an on campus job; however, it has helped me learn to take full advantage of all of the great skirts/dresses/blouses/slacks in my closet. In all honesty, I'd wear jeans and a t shirt with my coach tennis shoes everyday if I could. Alas, this world is not tailored to my desires, thus I dress business casual almost daily.

I'm learning to LOVE it.

This is actually the outfit I wore last Sunday. So in the words of the Beastie Boys, Check it out!

(Don't worry this picture was taken before church... not during. :) )

[Dress: Anthropologie via DownEast Outfitters (DownEast had a sale last week... Guess how much this beauty was... $10!! It's a steal, right?!) Heels: Steve Madden. Black Pearl Necklace: Gift from the in-laws.]

Sorry for the poor lighting, but I think my posing is significantly better than last week. :) I'm still working on this whole fashion blogging thing!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend :)

Love, Evi
