Absolutely in a summer color blocking state of mind today.

Today's lunch was a happy coincidence of many things: good company (Paloma and two co-workers), a stylish power lunch spot (Daily Grill), perfect weather (80's), coordinated outfits (see this post), and even a coordinated backdrop (The Standard wall).
I've been trying to do more with pants, which I'm so disinclined towards. This is what happens when you're a shorty with narrow hips and a mini-badonka. Pants never fit me quite right and I hate squirming in them all day at the office. But these peg pants are a look I like, and hope to master.
I got this skirt in three (!!!) different colors. Had a bit of a hard time
trying to decide what to pair with this cobalt blue, and really didn't want to
do something boring like black or white. What I would have loved was to wear a
slouchy heather gray t-shirt but somehow that didn't feel work appropriate
enough. So, went with a gray cardigan instead, worn with a purple patterned
camisole from a zillion years ago (bought it in law school to wear under suits
for interviews). And of course I wore the nude pumps from Target. I really have
a hard time not wearing them every day. May be my fave Target purchase ever. Again - winning!

Also, the Emma sunglasses at Urban Outfitters are your perfect summer shades. Every girl who sees them clutches at them and tries them on. Which is what happened today with Paloma, who happened to look fabulous in them.

Serious color overload today! I love it. This skirt was a recent
purchase from J.Crew Factory, as were the earrings (they had a 50% off
everything sale, I quite literally could not help myself), and I am so very
pleased with both! I honestly think J.Crew Factory might be my new favorite
store. It's like a smaller selection of items than J.Crew at a much lower price
point, but still the same quality (as far as I can tell thus far). Winning!
