NEUTRAL CITY

Love this color palette. Don't get me wrong - I'm a big fan of all sorts of fun and crazy colors, but there's something about neutrals that just speak to me.
Today's look was all about those neutrals.

Mother nature is horribly confused these days and seems to think that it is still June. Or May. Either way, it sure doesn't feel like July. I want some of that sticky hot, hot, hotness!

In the meantime, I guess I'll have to settle for the sweat-free quasi-summer we've been given instead. On that note, a light weight sweater was a good idea. I paired it with my rust shorts (The Limited via TJMaxx, $13) and snake skin flats (Madden Girl, $23). And I pulled out one of my favorite hand bags to complete the look (Simply Vera, $29). As you can probably tell, an iron has been nowhere near this outfit. Now that I look at the pictures, I will be much more vigilant of this in the future.

I also opted to go for a run this morning instead of doing my hair (and ironing, apparently). Given the choice again ... I'd do the same. It's worth the wrinkles and top knot.

What would you do?

  5. Super cute! Once you sit down, your clothes would wrinkle anyways, but a good run will make you feel good the whole day.

  6. As a fellow runner, and fellow wear-er of bangs, I sympathize with not doing the hair, or the iron. I tend to feel ironing is outdated. (wishful thinking, I suppose!)

    I love the sleeves on the sweater. Very nice. Wish it was cool enough to run out here in CA....sheesh.

  9. as i was exiting my last relationship, my former bf stole my iron and ironing board so i just don't! hahah! i'm sure it's pretty obvious sometimes but oh well. plus, i barely have time to clean house, when in the world am i supposed to iron? and i do walk the dog and jog in the mornings. she has arthritis and she's far more flexible in the mornings so there's another excuse for me not ironing! woo!
