10th Commandment: February 15

Feb 15, 2011

For whatever reason, I’m really obsessed with orange right now.  I think it started last month when I saw a woman carrying this gorgeous orange satchel.  Something about the color just spoke to me and said, “I’m fun and bright, and you know you want to own me.”

Washi Wrap Skirt (Anthropologie, $88)

While this isn’t quite the punchy orange that I’ve been longing for, this origami pleated skirt is truly adorable.  The cinched grosgrain waist and puffed silhouette will make your waist look really tiny.  And since the shade is a bit more muted, you can wear it now with brown tights and boots and in two months with flats and a sleeveless blouse.  

Look for Less

    I love that skirt!

    As a side note, I just have to tell you that I look forward to your posts every day.

    I too am obsessed with orange. I have been for awhile but not bold enough to wear it.
    But it is drawing me in like matter into a quantum singularity.

    It is fun! It is the sunny, happy, cheerful of yellow but without the cowardice crossed with the bold, assertiveness of red without the aggression. What's not to love?

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
