Feeling Frumpy?


I just came back from a quick work trip to Miami and I definitely didn’t want to leave.  Especially since I had to work about 80% of my time there and the weather is getting cooler by the hour.  I was able to take out time some time to go for a run on the beach and eat dinner at some amazing restaurants.  I always enjoy my time in Miami because of the beach, the weather and all of the wonderful people watching that I get to do.  One of the things that I noticed every time I go to Miami is all of the fashionable locals.  You can definitely spot them out in the crowd versus the every day tourist.  On my last night in the city, I went out to dinner at Nobu, a Japanese cuisine restaurant, on Collins Avenue.  They had the most amazing sushi I’ve ever had in my life – but that’s a whole other story for another day. I just wore a pair of jeans and a polka dot short-sleeve sweater from Old Navy (as seen here) and a pair of black heels.  I was pretty happy with my ensemble until I got to the restaurant. While I waited for my food, I noticed that most of the women in the restaurant were wearing either a dress or leggings/skinny jeans and some type a slinky tank top. Each woman looked like they were ready for a night out at a trendy new nightclub on a Tuesday night.  Maybe, I’m showing my age, but I definitely felt frumpy that night.  Even though I packed a variety of clothes for my trip, I felt like I picked out the wrong outfit.  So the next day, I wore an outfit that I thought would have been perfect for my previous night out on the town.  Unfortunately, no one really saw my outfit since I was leaving.  Do any of you buy new clothing to adapt to the area that you are visiting when it comes to style/fashion? Or do you wear clothing that makes you comfortable?  Let me know in the comments.

Current Mood – Top 3


I’ve been waiting for my new Anthropologie catalog to show up at my door or online, but I haven’t seen it yet.  Have any of you seen a copy of the catalog yet?  Anyways, I’ve picked out several items that I would buy if I were going to go shopping.  However, as I mentioned several days ago, I’m going to stop buying clothes and wear what I already own (at least make an attempt). Have you checked out Anthro’s new arrivals yet? Here are my top 3 items from Anthropologie for the month of January. Do any of you have any favorites that you can’t live without this month?  What’s on your wish list?

I’m sure that most of you have heard by now, that the Pantone Color Institute® has picked the new color of the year for 2013.  And everyone is green with envy with the color.  The new color is a vibrant and lush Emerald Green.  Pantone describes this sophisticated and luxurious color as “a color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony.” I have to agree - there’s something very striking about this emerald color. Like last year’s color of the year (tangerine tango), emerald green will flatter all skin tones and there are so many ways to incorporate it into your wardrobe - anywhere from a pair of beautiful emerald earrings to an emerald green outfit from head to toe.  What do you all think about the new color of the year?  Do you plan to add a little emerald green in your wardrobe?  Let me know in the comments.
