Outfit of the Week: Lift Those Leaves

I haven’t done an outfit of the week in a while. Let’s face it, during this pandemic did any of us really wear things that could be construed as “outfits”? My daily clothing choices mostly consisted of pajama bottoms or sweat pants and a work-appropriate top. No accessories, not shoes, nothing really to tie to together. But I’ve started going back to the gym, and that does actually require, if not fashion-magazine worthy clothing, at least real clothing.

And I am so in love with this fall inspired workout attire that I just had to start my outfit of the week back up again.

An outfit lays on the ground. The shorts are teal with birds and leaves. The shirt is bright orange, with a black bra behind it.

I mean look at these cute shorts! That bird? The watermelon slices? The lovely orange? It’s perfection.

This patterned cloth has birds, stawberries, orange leaves, watermelon slices, and orange palm trees on it.

Top: SheFit clip tank

Outfit of the Week: May 4th, Quarantine Style

It’s May 4th, which for us nerds is known as Star Wars day because it readily invites its self to the pun – May the Fourth be with you (May the Force by with you). I, like many other Star Wars fans, like to celebrate by dressing in something that celebrates it. My favorite shirt to wear on this particular day is one that I found at the Houston NASA campus a few years ago. It takes it to another level by using the physics formula for force, F=ma. Hard to tell in photos, but the text is actually sparkly, which I think adds just a little fun.

And since we’re still in shelter-in-place, I’ve paired it with typical lounging at home wear – leggings and slippers. Haha.

A bright blue shirt reads May the F=ma be with you in sparkling white text. Gray leggings and teal slippers are next to the shirt.

Disney Fashionista: Work Outfits Inspired by Disney Characters – Blue Dress Belle

It’s been a while since I’ve done Outfit of the Week. But I really wanted to start it again. But rather than just putting cute outfits together, I wanted to give myself a goal or challenge to add to it.

So I decided to combine two loves – cute clothing and Disney.

Welcome to the Disney Fashionista Challenge! Once a week (at least, maybe I’ll try for more), I’ll wear an outfit to work that reflects as Disney character.

This week was Belle’s blue dress from Beauty and the Beast.

The Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin, Ireland

Ireland Week One: I brought the sun!

Landed in Dublin mid-morning on Sunday. I actually had great flights. The middle seat on both the flight from SF to London and London to Dublin was empty. Huzzah! I managed to nap a bit on the long flight, but the real trick to beating jet lag is to STAY HYDRATED. Every time the flight attendants come by with water, have a glass.

My sibling, Tall One, picked me up from the airport (so nice) and after dropping my super duper heavy suitcase off at the apartment, we had a lovely brunch at Angelina’s. I was skeptical about the quality of avocados being from CA and so far from where they’re grown, but I ordered an avocado toast and was most certainly not disappointed. Continue reading
