Floral and Tights


I’m aware that this isn’t the most spring-like outfit in the world:



But, I had to wear tights; it was very cold and very rainy on my ride in today which means that I had to wear something that kept me warm and dried quickly.  As I mentioned before, that’s usually tights.  Today the tights (Spanx) are layered under a sleeveless floral dress (thrifted and hemmed) and a cardigan (Old Navy).  I added a skinny belt (Steve Madden via Ross), booties (BC Footwear via Piperlime) and pink drop earrings (gifted; thanks, Nan!). 

And yes, I was mostly warm enough and I dried quickly.

Hopefully the weather will be better for Memorial Day Weekend, but if not, it’s still a four-day weekend for me and that’s fabulous news, rain or shine.

Happy Thursday, Everyone!

Okay, i know that i`m showing a lots of love to this  pair of jeans, but i cant help myself! They are perfect for almost every occasion, it only depends on the rest of your clothes! Baggy jeans can be worn with high heels, sneakers, flats, chunky jewelry, strict white shirt, oversized sweater, leather jackets or blazers, i can`t even count how many times i already wore them and how many new outfits i created in my head! This time, i picked Zara shoes and knitted sweater which i got from Stradivarius (Here), hope you will like it! ;)

Dress as Tunic


As a giant, I often repurpose dresses as tunics.  Today is one of those days:


This tunic was sold as a dress for non-giants as part of the Jason Wu for Target collection.  As you can see, it’s not even close to being dress length on me, but I liked it, so I decided to buy it anyway (on clearance, of course) and wear it as a tunic.



I paired the dress/tunic with cropped skinnies (Bandolino via Macys), a vintage Perry Ellis blazer (thrifted) and my new color-blocked, crazy-patterned wedges (Statement of Purpose Wedge via Modcloth). 

I’ve been looking for a pair of color-blocked, colorful wedges for some time and finally found these a Modcloth:

I think I might love them.
 
I also love the fact that my week is nearly done.  After tomorrow I have a four-day weekend in which I will proceed to do mostly nothing, probably.

Happy Wednesday, All!

Today is Tuesday, I’m Wearing Clothes


Yes, today isTuesday and I am wearing clothes.  These clothes:



For my Tuesday clothes wearing, I paired a bright blue midi skirt (vintage, thrifted) with a bright pink sweater (Talbots, thrifted).  I added wedge sandals (Corso Como via Piperlime) and a pink and blue cuff.  And that’s all I have to say about it.  I’m sorry, folks, but we have a short week at work this week and next and I’m preoccupied and out of sorts as a result.

I hope everyone is having a lovely Tuesday!

Bonus Footage: Gracey Goes to a Concert


I went for a Journey cover band, also got a Bon Jovi cover band and a lovely acoustic trio that performed a surprisingly amusing/amazing Color Me Badd cover.  It was fantastic.

What I wore:




I never have any idea what to wear to concerts, but I figured something neon-adjacent was probably appropriate given the whole Journey/80s thing.  So, I layered a neon & tan print tank (thrifted) over a white tank (Target) with black skinnies (Gap Outlet).  I added a black blazer (Gap), which ended up not being worn, a vintage, tasseled cross-body bag (thrifted), strappy heels (v. old, Nine West) and some jewelry, including some of my favorite earrings (Betsy & Iya “Hooded Wonder” via Mabel & Zora).

Close up of the bag:


Close up of the earrings:


The night started with an acoustic band called Guy Dilly and The Twin Powers.  And they are absolutely amazing.  There are just three of them and the drummer was my favorite.  Her “drum” was a wooden box that she sat on while playing and she also played a tambourine (with her foot!) and sang back up vocal at the same time!  She’s basically my idol.  You can see her, and the rest of the band, in this video from a performance in December:


If you ever get a chance to hear this band, do it.  They’re great.  In fact, you can find out about their upcoming performances and see more video, here.

The headliners of the night were, as I mentioned Friday, a Journey tribute band called Stone in Love.  They really are amazing and so much fun.  They completely encourage crowd participation, which I love, because who doesn’t love belting out Journey songs at the top of their lungs?  No one in this crowd, that’s for sure:


 After Stone in Love, we were treated to a sort of sneak preview of one of the newer cover bands in town (there is a surprising amount), called Steel Horse.  They are a Bon Jovi cover band and their lead singer has an amazing voice.  They were still a little rough around the edges, but it was still super fun to watch and yowl along to:



And that was my Saturday night. 

How about you, Reader Friends?  How was your weekend?

Happy Monday, All!
