not exactly a t-shirt and jeans, but close

Some days, a knit top and some basic bottoms is all you need. I was having one of those days, though the cord pants are a little more than just basic. They're a wonderful shade of gray, the softest corduroy, and have a sweet little golden zipper on the sides. I should've taken a better photo of the zipper detail, but you can kind of see it in the second picture. For those of you who are interested, these pants (J.Crew's toothpick cords) run a bit small. I went up about 2 sizes to get a good fit, but that may have to do with my abundance of junk in the trunk, haha! The length is right on top of my foot on 5'3" me.

I've recieved a surprising amount of emails about my dining room table. I'll take better pictures of it and tell you a bit more about it tomorrow!

  2. You know, I bought the toothpick ankle cords last year in my regular size and I tried to wear them recently, but could barely button them. I thought I had put on weight, but I'm so happy to read that they run small. These look great on you. Hey, we are the same height!

  4. I have my "better than tshirt and jeans" outfit too! Usually a pair of straight-legged pants (cargos, plain, whathaveyou) plus a slouchy tee or sweater, with some cute flats on AE (I keep thinking this is a trend so refuse to "invest" or spring for some serious money). You look very cute!

  6. Those shoes are adorable!! :)
    I bought a pair of ankle cords from J Crew and am wearing them today. I agree, throwing these on is a great alternative to jeans, plus you get the added plus of being able to wear them in fun colors if you want.

  7. J.Crew's cords are the softest! I have last year's Matchstick Cords, and they're buttery soft and so much comfier than my comfiest pair of jeans ^^ Again, love the deep red walls. I love a bit of drama in the dining room!

  10. You know, it is easy to wear a fantastic dress and instantly have an outfit - it is another to put one together with the details. Those flats really pull off the whole outfit!

  11. I love twists on seemingly simple outfit- the shoes and ring add just that- a little zing.
