This is going to be another short post: I have a major headache. Okay, not major but it's one of those annoying ones that is kind-of there and kind-of not but you know isn't going away until you sleep for a week. It's the worst thing in the world besides not knowing what you want to eat. THAT is the worst.
Debut of my birthday bowler bag. It's full of snacks...and I don't even have a kid yet.
For a short post I talk about food a lot.
Wearing my husband's H&M sweater ($20), DownEast Basics tee (gift from my mother-in-law), JCPenney necklace (free with gift card), secondhand Gap jeans ($9), secondhand wedges ($8), and JCPenney bag (free with gift card).
i'm LOVING the bowler bag!

ReplyDeletethe bag is cool, sport bags cros boundaries in fashion and are a statement by themselves!
ReplyDeleteUm, I am so loving how you can pull off wearing your husband's sweater. Seriously, that is way awesome.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say I love your sweater, but omg, I really love that you wear your husbands clothes, I think its cool. I hope I can do that someday. I like that the necklace kind of made it a little more... not really girly but stylish? I dunno...
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, omg when you are sick ( even when you aren't) and you have like this craving but you don't know what it is but you KNOW its nothing from home.. =P

You crack me up, Elaine! I love your style and the little quirk you have going on. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI'm envious you are one of those girls who look cute in your husband's clothes, instead of a sloppy mess like I do. Maybe just for fun, I'll post pics in my husband's things so we can all have a laugh!
ReplyDeleteI really love the contrast of the sparkly necklace with an otherwise casual, understated outfit. Just enough to pep it up, without looking out-of-place. Well played!
The bag is cute, but I'm all about that necklace....
i'm wearing jeans just like that today :)
ReplyDeleteThe worst is when you don't know waht to eat and you say 'pick something up, something healthy but not Subway because I am sick of Subway.' Kinda makes it hard to figure out what this picky girl wants...
ReplyDeleteAnyways, this outfit is chic perfection. If we stick to the bowling theme, I would call it a strike.
Lovely bag and I always love that pants on you! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outfit. And the bag is unusual and very appealing.
ReplyDeleteSo so so cute. I wish I had your eye. I hope that if I just look at your blog a lot I'll develop one.
ReplyDeleteI love your new bag!
ReplyDeleteI love your bag!! It is fabulous. And I agree.. not knowing what you want to eat is the worst! :) Hope your headache goes away, feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI love that bag!! You have now made me wish I had a bowler bag :)
ReplyDeleteLove that such a cute, easy, comfy outfit becomes instantly stylish due to the necklace and silhouettes that you play with!! Love it! And your hair looks fabulous!
PS - There really is nothing worse than not knowing what you want to eat - I mean, I am very thankful that I have infinite choices in what I can eat, but still...it's such a pain!

ReplyDeleteElaine this outfit is SO perfect. Humble, classic, gorgeous (and full of your husband's love!). Super well done :)
ReplyDeleteAdore the bowler bag and those jeans on you. I want that bag. So classy. Your JCPenny Gift Card has been used well.
ReplyDeleteHow did you win the JCPenney gift card?
ReplyDeleteI swear on all that I hold dear that as I was walking from the subway to my office on Friday morning I thought, "Purses that look like bowling bags would be really popular."
ReplyDeleteLater that day you posted this! Weird!!!
That's a great necklace.
PS - I'm with you on the headache thing, but I never have a problem deciding what to eat--I should be pickier! =)
ReplyDeleteyou look amazing! i am LOVING the bowler bag!! you have totally inspired me to go through my hubby's closet for treasures!! ive never thought about that before:)

I love this outfit, I might have to steal your look! It's ok that you carry snacks, I store mine in my car just incase I get stuck in traffic on the way home and can't wait for dinner... Let's not think about the fact that I live 15 minutes away ;)
ReplyDeleteCute bowler bag! Perfect for carrying snacks and lipgloss :) Not knowing what you want to eat IS the worst, agreed!
ReplyDeletethis is lovely! i like it a lot
