Florals and stripes


All remixed except tee
Tee: Gap
Cardigan: Ann Taylor
Jeggings: J Crew
Flip Flops: Rainbow
Scarf: Target
Earrings: Turkey

I wore this to go into the city last week to get closet type stuff. By closet type stuff, I mean stuff to build a closet. Which B did. Skillfully, I might add. I'll have to take pictures of it because it's crazy and way bigger than a Philly closet.


I didn't wear these shoes, though. I wore (and this is the part where I hang my head in shame) a pair of Crocs. In my defense, they're this style which looks like a proper shoe and not a gardening clog, and also they were free. The bad thing is that flats generally rub my heels raw. So once we came back up to Vara Blanca, I changed into my flip flops IMMEDIATELY.


Another confession: I've been wearing jeans more than I have in the last, oh, six years. I still feel way more comfortable in a skirt, but I've had to do a lot of climbing around and that kind of stuff - jeans are just more practical for that kind of thing. Too bad I don't know how to be very creative with jeans. Any tips out there?

    I say forget jeans and just throw on some capri leggings or shorts under a skirt.

    You look super cute in that scarf!

    And I'm going to pretend I didn't know about the Crocs. It's okay.

    I am so jealous of anyone who is in a place that you can wear flip-flops this time of year! My booted feet are craving that. What kind of plant is it in the background with the giant leaves?

    @ Terri: I'll admit to often having cold toes, but they're not frozen. I don't know what that plant is called in English, but here they call it "sombrilla de pobre" which literally means "poor people's umbrella". The leaves feel almost like a combination of cardboard and aluminum foil.

    Cute! Hey have I totally missed or forgotten WHY you moved? It's okay if you don't want to share, but i'm so curious!! And wear jeans like all the time, it really depends on what you wear them with, I can dress them up quite a bit.

    Love that scarf with the stripes! It's just the right amount of pattern mixing to make the whole look so interesting! And, I too have such a hard time styling jeans. I almost never wear them! I can't wait to see what other looks you come up with using them!

    Ooo you should take pictures of the closet when you're done I can't wait to see!! I dream of something more customized :)

    I don't judge your crocs they are practical for your locations and I'll admit I have been secretly coveting these:
