Where: Breakfast , Errands and travel!

Why: My plan for the next week or so of family visits includes getting together a set of mix and match tops and bottoms. Colored corduroy, black and blue jeans, turtlenecks, button downs and a couple of dresses. I’m throwing in a blazer and stash of statement jewelry, a scarf or two and I hope that does it!  

Although most of the elements of this outfit are relatively new, it still feels like a vintage outfit. Like a “modern” 1960s woman going to the grocery store. Heck, I don’t know! I like it though! And that’s what’s important when it comes to getting dressed.  I’m hoping there’s a magic switch flipped when I turn 30 that helps me to get over what other people think of me. At least I feel like I’m getting close. So here’s to leopard coats and shoes and big necklaces and bright turtlenecks. And to hot pink lipstick.
