Leaving... On a Jet Plane




What I'm wearing:
Lululemon Gratitude wrap
H&M printed dress
Martin + Osa cashmere scarf/wrap
Hue leggings
pewter BC flats
F21 bow headband

I've had a loooong day today. Finally snapped a photo of my outfit tonight. Nothing super special, but I just wanted to share what kind of clothes I like to wear while I'm traveling (especially via airplane).

The Lululemon Gratitude wrap is fantastically comfortable. It is super soft, lightweight, and does double duty as a blanket. I also love the fact that it has slits in the sleeves so I can slip my thumbs through! Love it. You can do so much with it, and it looks much, much cuter than a plain old regular hoodie.

I decided to wear this H&M dress I snatched from my sister, because it is super comfortable, fit nicely under the wrap, and I could wear it on it's own without another layering piece. The cashmere scarf was the finishing touch, while walking around the airport I wore it like a normal scarf, but it is big enough that it is an ultra warm wrap.

I really liked this combination because it was warm, but full of layers that I could peel off when needed (I didn't really need too, it was freezing on the plane, but they are always so inconsistent), and comfortable (no jean grommets poking me in the back or the bum).

So what did I do today? I woke up at 5:30am, drove to the airport, flew to Atlanta, took a quick nap, went to the dentist (where I had a crown removed and had a temporary one put it) which took TWO hours, had a yummy meal of sashimi, sushi, and jjigae, grabbed a hot chocolate and a yummy slice of cake at a Korean bakery, and now am finally able to relax at home. New Gossip Girl on tonight! =)

ETA: I promise you tomorrow's OOTD will NOT include leggings.

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! =)

Rainy Day in Atlanta....

I am home for a few days, which is always relaxing, *but* I am here this time to get some dental work done. *sigh* Apparently I have very vulnerable teeth, am susceptible to cavities, grind my teeth at night, and my childhood fillings are falling out. I had an appointment and today and need to go back before my flight back to Baltimore tomorrow morning. FML. Anyways I have been pampered by my mother, and am just trying to enjoy eating yummy Korean food and snuggling with the puppy.

No pics, because I am just super scrubbed out, and I don't have my camera with me anyways. But I'm wearing:
Martin + Osa boyfriend jeans (never thought I'd hop on this trend but they are so comfy!)
white Forever 21 slouchy pocket tee
black Silence & Noise batwing cardigan
pewter Bloch ballet flats
black cashmere M+O wrap/scarf

It is truly dreary weather and I feel like my outfit reflects that, but it's really quite cozy.

Here are some random thoughts.... since I don't really have any outfits to post or anything.

1. Did anyone see Gossip Girl last night? Hillary Duff is really starting to get on my nerves! I really just think Dan has terrible taste.

2. Is it wrong to really like this hat? I've never had a hat like this before. It just looks so cozy!


It's the Plaid Earflap Cap from American Eagle. Hats always look awkward on me though.

3. I deposited a huge amount of clothes (not currently wearable, because of either weather or working situation) at my parents' house, and I still feel like I have so much left. I need to do a major closet cleanse. Again. And be much, much more brutal.

4. Halloween is this weekend!!!!!!! I have no real plans, and I actually don't like dressing up, but I feel like I might this year. I have no real costume, and don't really feel like spending money on one. I will try to work with what I have.

5. I'm wearing one of my new nail polishes right now! Essie Chinchilly, it's a great brown-y grey creme. I've already tried Mint Candy Apple, love it and gotten so many compliments on it! I want to try Midnight Cami next.

6. I like making lists way too much. =)
