Off-Duty Ballerina

This is the outfit I'd imagine an off-duty ballerina would wear. I think it's the combination of leggings + drapey top + ballet flats. I love it, every single item I am wearing is so comfortable.




What I'm wearing:
Martin + Osa Open cardigan in Mercer Burgundy
Martin + Osa Sheer layered tank in Galvanized Grey
Hue leggings (from Martin + Osa)
pewter Bloch ballet flats (from M+O)
Jane Tran for M+O hair pin
Martin + Osa cluster necklace
Martin + Osa Leopard scarf

Ok, I realized this is all M+O but hey, it's a work outfit! I usually like to mix up my brands more.

Aren't these hair pins adorable???? I couldn't resist them.

All accessories are on sale at Martin + Osa!! Women's boots (like my grey Dolce Vita Wiley boots) are 50% off, all full-priced bags are 50% off, jewelry (like the fabulous new cluster necklace I'm wearing right now) is 30% off, scarves are 30% off, and all hair accessories (like the hair pins and head bands) are 40% off!

I've been pretty busy lately (both fun & non-fun stuff) so I've been pretty bad with the posting! I feel like I am so behind on reading my favorite blogs!! I definitely need to catch up.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Some girlfriends are in town this weekend so I am super excited to see them tomorrow! =)

This is my confession....

So, I have a few confessions to make.

1. I love leggings (especially the Hue ones that are kinda shiny and very opaque)
2. I love to pretend leggings are pants. (I am in denial that they aren't!)
3. I love leopard print.
4. I love faux fur, especially when it's super soft.
5. I FREAKING love my faux fur leopard print jacket, even if I sorta feel like a street hooker in it.

So I had a pretty crappy night last night, and I wake up exhausted and find out that our water is broken. Which made me have a pretty crappy day at work today. And it also explains why my hair is icky and I threw in a cute butterfly headband to maybe make myself presentable.

I am wearing:
Forever 21 faux fur leopard print jacket
pink H&M tiered ruffle dress/tunic?
black Hue leggings
purple suede Kate Spade wedges
anthropologie butterfly headband

Wearing a few of my favorite things cheered me up considerably. I kind of feel like a ballerina in my pink ruffles and black leggings, which I've been wearing all the time because they are ridiculously comfortable (I even bought a back up pair). And I know a lot of people will hate this jacket but I *love* it. =P It is super soft, doesn't feel icky, and I love the collar on it.

Do you know what else I love?? My new Canon Powershot!!! It was super easy to take these photos today. I set it up for the facial recognition self-timer, which takes 3 shots each time, and it only took me two tries to get the photos that I posted! I posted more than I usually do, but that's because I like the way they turned out! I highly recommend this camera to anyone. Very easy to use in my opinion.




I feel like a flasher in this photo but I wanted to show off my dress!

BRRRRR.....
