Monday, Monday

Monday, Monday.

I've been extremely (extremely!) busy lately. In fact, I barely had time to share with you a glimpse of my purple hair. Fortunately, most of the madness has concluded enough that I'm able to take the day off tomorrow. Too bad it won't be a full day of relaxing as I have so much life to catch up on. But, it will be a great day nonetheless.

This outfit spoke to my mood today and is quite the blend. Let's call it comfy chic, shall we? The tucked in sweatshirt not only provides warmth for the lovely fall weather, but also a collegiate type of vibe that's definitely on trend.

And since it's an old sweatshirt of my dad's, I suppose it's like a big hug from him every time I put it on. Squeeze!

| The Short Of It |

Last week I was on a mission styling for an event and just happened to pop into Express. Out of the corner of my eye, something tribal caught my attention. Behold, the go-to shorts for summer.

Express Ikat short, $54.90

Express cotton short, $54.90

In addition to the ikat prints, the bright solids and short-trouser denim options are swoon worthy as well. Seriously, I want them all.

Express short-trouser denim, $49.90

Express sailor short, $39.90

And, of course, the electric blue:

Express sateen short, $49.90

I am fortunate that, come Summer, I can wear these to work. Express does a great job pairing the shorts with bright, electric blouses [ you've seen my obsession here ]. Here are some pairings I will try:
