Comfort

Compared to a lot of my outfits, this one felt like I was wearing pajamas - a comfy t-shirt, stretchy skirt, and flat shoes are a recipe for a happy Stacey! Outfits like this always happen after I've spent too many days wearing heels or fitted clothes, and I just need a day to let my feet recover. (Or my belly - I'm pretty much constantly sucking in my stomach if I'm wearing a belt at the waist.)

Striped shirt: Old Navy

Gray cardigan: Gap

Black maxi skirt: TJ Maxx

Strawberry print flats: Asos

Sunglasses: Oscar de la Renta from TJ Maxx

Gold earrings: Forever 21

Red scarf: thrifted

Gold leaf cuff bracelet: In Pink

Patterns

It's hard to believe, but I get more compliments when I wear this dress than I do with almost any other dress. I don't really get it - I mean, it's kind of shapeless and weird. Which of course is what drew me to it, but it doesn't explain everyone else's fascination with it. Apparently the dress alone wasn't eye-assaulting enough for me, because I felt compelled to throw on these strawberry print shoes as well. Yes, it was overkill, but it made me happy.

Happy Labor Day to all you Americans! I hope you enjoy your barbecues and picnics :)

(Mr. Onyx was desperate to be near me during this photo shoot, so I had to include this photo...)

Red, white and black

It's difficult to think of something new and interesting to write about my outfits four or five days a week. I can only write about pattern mixing or my reasons for choosing color combinations so many times before I get bored with it. And today I'm bored with it. So here's my outfit; that's all I have to say for now :)

Black tank top: Target

Black and white shorts: Loft

Red strawberry flats: Asos

Black hat: gift from my aunt

Sunglasses: Oscar de la Renta from TJ Maxx

Red necklace and mah jongg tile earrings: free from my aunt

Gold cuff: gift from my mom

Belated patriotism

This is the outfit I probably would have worn on the 4th of July if I had actually felt well enough to leave my couch. Instead, I wore it on the 5th. Close enough.

Blue and white dress: thrifted, possibly vintage

White sweater vest: thrifted

Strawberry print flats: Asos

Sunglasses: Oscar de la Renta from TJ Maxx
White necklace: H&M
Red belt: free from my aunt
Gold leaf cuff bracelet: In Pink

Here's a gratuitous photo of Mr. Onyx snoozing on the bed in the afternoon...

...and one of my new piano!
