errands couture

shorts - Old Navy (they come in any color you could possibly need) | sweatshirt - Loft/ Lou & Gray | espadrilles - Old Navy | sunglasses - Ray Ban | handbag - Rebecca Minkoff (discontinued color)

Now that I'm into this short wearing business, I wear them whenever I can.  These are the perfect shorts for a low key day - the only downside is that they wrinkle easily, but that's no big deal especially for running errands or throwing on over a bathing suit.  Yes I am constantly shopping at Old Navy but they seriously have the best deals for summer clothes.  Summer is only about three months and 5 days out of the week I cant wear shorts regardless so I tend make conscious choices in terms of price. 

This sweatshirt is perfect for cooler days and nights, and I love that it has short sleeves.  I will be honest, I have also slept in it... it's just so damn comfortable!  The Loft is another one of my favorite places to shop - their items from Lou & Gray are my holy grail because they are all so practical and season-less!  They also have great items for work that do not break the bank! Back to the sweatshirt - stores tend to be cooler than the temperature outside especially while food shopping!  So, when running errands I like to add something a bit heavier than what I would wear outside,  we have all been in the dairy isle shivering because the outfit planned for the weather outside is nowhere near warm enough for the amount of cold air pumping out of the vents at the supermarket.

Light Sweater & Light Wash

Current spring staples include: 

light sweaters 

light wash denim

heeled sandals

neutrals

Alright New England, as much as I despise your unpredictable weather and harsh winter, I am much more appreciative of any day over 50 degrees.  Although spring time is not as warm as other parts of the country, I appreciate any type of sunshine even if it comes with a breeze.  My current uniform (on my days off) includes a simple light knit and some distressed jeans.  I feel like I can not go wrong with these two pieces as a base because, lets face it, the weather is always changing.  It is easy to add a simple heeled sandal, a necklace, or switch the jeans out for a skirt or shorts if it heats up a bit.  

  

I'm still going strong with my neutrals.  I find it so much easier to put looks together now that I have limited the amount of prints and overall items in my wardrobe (part of that was a lie because I probably purchase something everyday).  I can wear this sweater, sandals, or handbag with anything, it makes things easy... especially since I am barely home and live out of my car most of the week.

Day off Destroyed Denim

I have two days off a week and I would be lying if I said I didn't wear destroyed denim on both of them.  I have always loved distressed jeans.  I remember sitting in class my freshman year of high school, bored out of my mind, shredding my jeans with a pair of scissors (looking back there were probably more constructive things I could have been doing).  Notice: I did not destroy these jeans myself (if I could have, I would have).  To make these jeans even better they are boyfriend style... so not only are they hella cute, they are just as comfortable.

Now I have a confession: I could not stand boyfriend jeans for the longest time. 

There, I said it, I despised them... It was not the look, it was the fit.  I must have tried out 20 different pairs of boyfriend jeans until I found ones that looked like boyfriend jeans.  I am curvy and have a booty so the loose fit of boyfriend jeans usually dose not translate well when pulled over my thunder thighs (I'm a big fan of squats and I don't plan on stopping).  For my fello curvy girls I found these in the plus section of Forever 21 and I'm wearing a 12 (to be honest they are a bit big, but the proportions fit well so I will have them taken in at the waist) For my thinner girls heres a similar pair!
