Navy + Green


Blazer and Skirt (similar) - JCrew / Sweater - Banana Republic / Boots - Sam Edelman / Watch - Kate Spade




 Do you find it weird that a lot of the pieces at JCrew Factory this season are remakes of last year's pieces from JCrew?  I know this is something they often do (like the infamous herringbone vest), but walking through the factory store last week was literally like looking through my own closet - there are so many repeats of things I purchased last year.  It's great if you want to grab something you were lusting after last year (I definitely recommend checking out this skirt!) but for me it's not so bueno to shop there this year since there isn't a lot of new stuff.  Although based on yesterday's budget post, I probably don't need to buy anything else this fall.

Giraffe, Giraffe!

I mentioned when I posted about my love of navy that I already had some of the items on my list.  Well, I also have been wearing them together, all over town.  I think this giraffe sweater is my favorite item in my wardrobe right now, I've been having to restrain myself from wearing it more than once a week.  The skirt was my only purchase from the Prabal Gurung line for Target and I love it, the cut is so flirty and fun.

This is probably a weird connection, but whenever I think of giraffes I think of an old Sesame Street record we had when I was really little.  There was a song called I Got Me a Rooster where they sing about different animals and make the animal noises.  When they get to giraffe they all have to pause because they can't think of what noise a giraffe makes.  It's weird the way certain things stick with you, because I don't think I could name another song I liked at age two.  


I'm in the middle of a really busy week, but somehow my weeks are only going to get crazier from here.  Not only am I taking a night class, but I also decided to sign up for a personal trainer two nights a week.  I think the main goal is to get some upper body strength, which has sadly disappeared since I moved in with Jeff since he now carries heavy things up the stairs for me and I no longer carry my groceries home from the store.  Also, my friend and I were talking about signing up for another canoe marathon (in case you missed it since you likely did, I used to compete in canoe marathons.) and I think I would probably die if I tried to do one again without any strength training.  Now I'm just hoping that working out with a trainer won't be too scary!
