School Days.

DSC_1117I am not sure if I was lucky or not because I didn’t have to wear a uniform to school. On one hand, it would have been easy enough to know what to wear to class each day and on the other I would have looked just like everyone else. I wasn’t a super fashionable kid growing up, I was obsessed with rock music and basically wore a band tee to school every day but that was my thing. So, I guess I am happy that I didn’t have to wear a uniform to school- but if I did I would want it to look like this.

I hope everyone had a lovely MLK Jr. Day!

One of my favorite things to do is wear skirts when the temperature starts to drop. It doesn’t make much sense but I just want to find any reason to pull out a pair of tights, they are more comfortable than pants and look so much more sleek with shoes. I liked pairing this grey pearl sweater with a flared striped skirt because it feels simple but has a lot of character.

To Be Thankful.

With tomorrow being Thanksgiving, we were reminded of the countless things we are thankful for. Our family, friends, health- okay, enough of that crap let’s get to the real things we couldn’t live without.

(Yup, Beer Goggles! You know, when you have a glass or bottle of wine and decide that everything you see in the department store is something you just can’t live without. The next morning you wake up screaming “why did I buy another purple tutu?!” You wouldn’t have bought it sober and that would have been a damn shame, so thank you Beer Goggles, we are grateful for you)

(When Brittany and I were figuring out the details of this post, we originally meant Unexpected Cuties as in hot men we walk by from time to time. But you know what? I can live without a random cute boy siting, but how can I live without this face?! So cute! I could scream. I am. I am screaming right now. SO F@#*ING CUTE! AHHHH! I WANT TO EAT YOUR CUTE LITTLE FACE OFF!!!)

(There is nothing like a morning cup of coffee. Wait, there is nothing like a morning cup of coffee with a heart drawn in the foam. No, that isn’t right. There is nothing like a morning cup of coffee with a heart drawn in the foam handed to you by a super cute barista in a trendy coffee truck. We occasionally treat ourselves to a latte from Reveille Coffee on Pacific St in San Francisco. There is no joke here, their coffee really is made from unicorn tears or something, it is unreal how good it is. Sometimes our morning coffee ends in tears if one of us gets a heart in the foam and the other gets a leaf. A leaf. Who the F@#* wants a leaf?!)

(The Blow Dry Bar is the newest craze in hair beauty since the spiral perm. The best part is that they serve you champagne while you and your friends get your hair blown out. You always imagine leaving the bar looking like the model above. But after a few cocktails, you start looking like…

Hey, you can’t win ’em all!)

(Thank God I decided to put on tights before I walked out the door! I really dodged one major slutbaggy bullet there. I didn’t realize that my dress was the same length as my coat and if I didn’t have these tights on… Well, I would have been walking the streets of San Francisco looking like a flasher on my lunch  break)

We joke around a lot but we are honestly very thankful for our family, friends, health, and countless other things. While there are others who are less fortunate than us, we truly do know how lucky we are to live the lives that we do and wouldn’t trade places with anyone in the world. We hope you feel the exact same! Now, grab a trick fork and start grabbing the leftover stuffing from your brother’s plate when he isn’t looking- it’s THANKSGIVING afterall!

The Tighter, The Better.

Have you ever had an outfit that looks great on but needs a little something extra? Something that gives it that extra pop of color and makes your short skirt seem less slutbaggy? You know what I am talking about- the short dress that is completely inappropriate for work and then you throw on a pair of tights and suddenly you are good to go? Yeah, tights do that. They keep you warm AND make you look like less of a ho- MAGIC!

(These grey cable knit tights can be worn under pretty much any skirt or dress)

(You should have seen how much shorter this skirt looked before I put on these burgundy tights!)

(Britt loves hers thick. These are grey sweater material, they keep her warm during the cold winters!)

(These are some of our favorites right now- patterned and bright opaque. Blue Flower Print/Herringbone/ Yellow Opaque)

All in all, tights add that accessorized element that some cute but dull outfits often lack. And they can cover you up in times when you are unsure if you are showing too much. Men, boys, lads- buy your lady a pair that you like, they come in all different varieties. My boyfriend just bought me ankle socks, we have to start somewhere!
