A Lack of Color

Photography by the Exquisite Michael Shriver 

We've had our wonderful days of sun here in the Emerald City and now the grey weather has brought us back to the reality that it is indeed still May. Summer couldn't come soon enough although I'm thankful that the season's stark black and whites will work in any weather.

What I'm Wearing
Shirt: ASOS
Skirt: American Apparel
Shoes: J.W. Anderson ALDO Rise (seen here)
Earrings: H&M (similar)
Clutch: Forever 21

In the Mood for a Monster and Mischief

Hiding under the Aurora Bridge in Seattle, the Fremont Troll, made of steel, wire, and concrete, poses with me for this photo shoot. It is in Seattle's quirky and cute Fremont neighborhood, where we also found the Mischielf Distillery and Tasting Room, another hidden gem for the photos in this post. 

This outfit has a crazy, retro color palette and this season's trendy neon yellow. The ASOS pencil skirt is seriously skin tight! Wearing it makes me feel like a mermaid :p. The high "flatform" is not only extremely comfortable, but also light on my feet.

In the Mood for Sapphire Skies

Unfortunately the sun has set after a wonderful three day weekend and it's time to float back down to reality. To get reacquainted with the everyday, I put together an outfit that can stand for just that. I love wearing this to work since it still keeps me warm in either the chilly office atmosphere or the cold dreary winter weather. The sweater can be worn more conservatively with a tight neck or casually off the shoulder. I often switch out the boots for a pair of brown pumps on dryer days.

H&M makes a great pencil skirt however, one of my favorite pencil skirts right now is the Vaughn Pencil Skirt from Club Monaco. The front slit makes the skirt walk and move better and more beautifully than skirts with a back slit.

What I'm Wearing

Sweater: Coincidence & Chance Open-Back Cropped Sweater
Skirt: H&M Navy Pencil Skirt (similar from J. Crew)
Tights: H&M Grey Tights (similar from ASOS)
Shoes: Forever 21 Victorian Boots (similar)
