coral, navy, and Dooney and Bourke

When I really want to wear pajamas to work, I put on a long skirt or dress.  They are just as comfortable but work appropriate, at least at my job.  I was in want of some long dresses and skirts, which is tough because of my height, when I found this long navy skirt hiding in my closet.  It's a Ralph Lauren petite hand me down from my grandmother.  

I mean, this bag. !!!  I was pretty excited when the vintage Dooney and Bourke trend came around a few years ago because I'd been eyeing this one of my mom's for years, and I knew she would gladly let me use it.

Lauren Winstead and the Everlane t

I teamed up with Lauren Winstead to take outfit photos that will be appearing here over the next few weeks.  I wanted to do better than mirror pics from my iPhone, so please enjoy her hard work!  

The outfit below was actually the last one I put on during our shoot.  I recently purchased this white t from Everlane, and I recommend trying them out.  They offer free shipping if you make your first purchase soon after signing up.  When I was desperately on the hunt for a new white t, it was hard to beat made in America for $15 and free shipping.

In addition to outfit photos, Lauren also took some for profile photo options.

Lindsay's chambray

I would like to include some of my friends' hand me down style here, and there is no better friend or clothing item to start with than Lindsay and her chambray shirt.  

About four years ago, Lindsay showed up to my house to go to Bible study in this shirt.  It was just about the time chambray was starting to come around again as a trend.  Right in the middle of the hot summer, when you're headed inside for an air conditioned Bible study, this lightweight shirt is perfect.  Lindsay got the hand me down from her mom, and they told me it is J. Crew from the 1980s.
