Just your basic neutral: stripes and florals

Who would have known a few years ago that stripes worn with floral patterns would become so main stream?

What I did revive from the 90's grunge and is on trend now is the shirt tied around the waist...really not intentional.

Do the sunglasses hide the fact that I'm bald?

Pretty bracelets and watch are a nice touch I often over look.

Waiting for my seventh chemotherapy treatment today, my third with the second drug, taxol. If all goes well I will finish up at the end of June. Thanks to all of you for your continued prayers and support. It puts such a smile on my face reading your comments. You lift me up and make me want to keep on going with grace and style.

Minty

I quickly threw this outfit on one morning last week to take my daughter to school. After I looked at it more closely I really liked the way it came together!

The mint cords kept me warm during this non-spring weather we are having but also keep everything looking fresh. I took pictures first with my Hunter's as I originally wore it and then took a shot in the house with my nude heels, more refined!

I picked up these pretty earrings from Target and they added a nice bit of sparkle.

My hair has since fallen out and I will post any old photos I have to keep up with the blog...and then you'll see me sporting hats and scarves and wraps, I just need to figure out how to make them look right and make the most of it! Thanks to everyone for all of your continued support, prayers and encouragement.

Just Another Day

Just another pair of too short pants.

My full intended purpose of this outfit post is to get more of the items that I've thrifted out there on my blog.

So here you have a casual day outfit, fit for lab, paired with my $2 red wedge sandals that I thrifted unworn. The pants are from J.Crew, I purchase them in the spring, they are a navy blue Minnie. They are intended to be cropped but, I think the regular length leaves them looking too cropped. I have another pair of Minnie's and they are a long and look much better proportioned on my legs. Note to self: DON"T BUY REGULARS! you're too tall.

Ballet recitals, Birthday Parties and more...

I've been lean on the outfit posts lately and I have a busy schedule and life to blame  show for it. My daughter turned 5, I'm amazed at how the time goes by so quickly. I am loving every minute of my life with her! Also, she's been involved in ballet recitals, auditions for the Nutcracker performance at her ballet school and attending her own and other's fun filled birthday parties as well as participating in all the pre-kindergarten orientations our school district necessitates (I'm sure many of you can relate). 

This is an outfit shot my daughter captured as we were going from one thing to another, I wished I had gotten multiple shots, but, here it is!

I love this floral print skirt from J.Crew, it's a purchase from the winter sale, I think left over from fall 2011 but, it is cotton so it is really versatile and can easily work with tights for winter and fall.

I tried to make it a spring/summer inspired look so I paired it with this coral colored ruffle tank, also from J.Crew (2008).
