For the love of food (and maxi skirts)

This past Friday I wore an H&M white shirt ($10), yellow scarf (gift from Melissa), Forever 21 maxi dress-turned-maxi skirt ($5), and Target clog sandals (gift). But let's get to the good part.... FOOD.

I was really anxious and frustrated so excited and happy on my way to pick up Chase after work so I demanded suggested we go get some frozen yogurt right that second for a little date. We were stuck in traffic forever had a nice little drive through L.A. and found Crumbs! And then I was happy. (I got the Milkshake cupcake. DELISH.)
Then we saw a sushi restaurant and decided we wanted sushi. (We always want sushi.) But it was too expensive for us so we found a cheaper and better one a few streets over. We got so excited we ordered a little too much that our waitress had to ask us if we were sure we could eat that much. We said yes. And then no. And then yes again. And then no once more. I'm glad we said no. I'm paying for those cupcakes and sushi right now. I'm doing squats as I type this.

You look adorable!  I love how you tied the scarf into a bow.  That's one I have never tried before.

And those cupcakes look amazing! Now I want cupcakes :)

I always want sushi too. It's kind of a problem. Those baked goods look ridiculously good.. especially half baked. Ha -Rachel (adistinctstyle.blogspot.com)

I love, love, LOVE the idea of turning a maxi dress into a skirt. It's such a nice look with the crisp, white t-shirt.

And ahhh driving through L.A. I lived in L.A. for two years and loved it. And wait a minute, I think I recognize that sushi place. The name eludes me but OMG, it's affordable and cheap! :D

Enjoy the sit-ups... :/

Blessings,
This Good Life

I love how you wear white tops so often! Question: what do you do about underclothing showing through? I run into that so much that I've stopped wearing white tops, which I love!

Tiffany said...

Um, thanks, now I want a cupcake. And that yellow sash. =)

Rachel Tatem said...

I want to eat all of that... but that's probably because I'm hungry.  I like your outfit!

Sushi and cupcakes. It's like my food dream come true! I could kick myself for not being more adventurous with my cupcake selection at Crumbs...milkshake cupcake sounds amah-zing. I'm green with envy! 

Andi said...

So cute! Love that belt. I've been getting so much use out of my black maxi skirt too, it works with pretty much everything, love it!

MONKEYFACE said...

I hope that by shoving all of this fantastically delicious-looking food in my face, what you are really doing is offering to send me some.  So I will take 1 Squiggles, 2 Cookie Dough's and a Red Velvet.  Like, yesterday.

Yay!  I love your blog!  Ok, I'm coming to L.A. just to eat those cupcakes!  And I love the maxi!  I find myself trying to make my maxi dresses look like maxi skirts all the time ....and while that's budget friendly and all, I'm just not as successful at it as you are!

Those cupcakes seriously sound amazing.  And your scarf tied in a bow is so cute!

itsbloggable said...

Love the maxi. How are you keeping your body outline(not sure what else to call it) from showing? I tried on a maxi skirt at Express and felt like a hoochie mama.

Oh, you are truly a woman after my own heart!  1) Dessert fixes everything.  2) Dessert always comes first! 3) Sushi is a good second.

I really like the pop of yellow from your belt. That food all looks so good, and is reminding me I didn't eat dinner.

Rick said...

Whew!!!  The comment box is back.  It was so strange.  First, I couldn't even see the line that above says "46 Comments".  So I thought the post was closed to comments (same thing happened with your last post).  But then I could see it, but nothing happened when I clicked on it.  Now I have access again.  Did you miss me??? =)

Jasmine, Transient Withdrawal said...

Ahh you look so thin and tall in maxi skirts! Love the way you tied the scarf to make it a bow belt :) The food looks amazing! When I'm in LA next, I'll have to swing by Crumbs and see how it compares to Sprinkles!

Kileen said...

omg, such delicious foooood!!  i'm such a sucker for sushi too and could eat it everyday. 

and i also really love the addition of the belt scarf on the maxi skirt!

A milkshake cupcake sounds super yummy. Also I love your outfit is so simple and pretty.

Carolynn Cecilia said...

You're killin' it in that maxi skirt. I've stayed away from the trend thinking I was too short, but you wear it wonderfully well. Congrats!

Rinny said...

I love how you belted the skirt with the scarf :D

And Crumbs is delicioussss! My coworker brought in some of their cupcakes for a birthday and they were so nice and moist. My mouth is watering just thinking about them lol

Khrystine Kelsey said...

Ha ha love the re-writes. Hilarious! BTW, congratulations on wearing a maxi skirt and still looking actually dressed. I always feel like i'm in a nightgown...
