Jump Around

June 22, 2017 by jessica 7 Comments

jumpsuit

I bought this deeply discounted jumpsuit at Anthropologie in November and it sat in the closet with the tags still attached until it was finally warm enough to wear it last weekend. Bathroom acrobatics aside, it was such a fun, eye-catching piece to wear! Plus, it was a practical choice for a windy day because I didn’t have to wrestle with a hemline threatening to cause what I call a “Marilyn moment.” 😉 Next time, though, I’ll style it differently with these statement earrings, pearl sandals (in this post) and a black DVF clutch (seen here).

Florals for Spring

February 13, 2017 by jessica 8 Comments

Vero Moda Drop Waist Floral Shirt Dress + Cult Gaia Ark Bag

I know we still have awhile to go before spring is officially here. (Thirty-four days, in fact, It’s not like I’m counting down or anything.) However, I just couldn’t resist breaking out my latest wardrobe addition this past weekend when the temperatures flirted with the above-freezing mark. This dress is, without a doubt, my favorite piece for spring. I love the long sleeves and shirt detailing at the top that make it appropriate for work. I love the swingy, gathered skirt that hits right above the hips. And I especially love the wallet-friendly price tag of just $58. It’s not often that one of my go-to pieces comes in at such a low price, but it’s serendipitous when it does!

P.S. There are just a couple of days left to win a sterling silver charm necklace from Helen Ficalora. More details here!

Rainbow

rainbow

If it wasn’t obvious from my near radio silence over the last week, I’m entering my busiest work period of the year. The stress is starting to get to me, as it does every year. I’ve been kind of a wreck with anxiety-related insomnia, which brings on spontaneous tears as I try to get through my growing to-do list. (Dave actually calls me “Stressica” in September and October!) I’m sure I’ll be feeling like my #GirlBoss self again soon, especially since there’s no other option than to hustle my way through the next couple of months. It’s definitely easier with a big grin, a ridiculously bright dress, and frequent trips to Starbucks. (Venti, please.)

Falling for Floral

August 8, 2016 by jessica 10 Comments

LOFT Woodblock Floral Shirtdress

I spotted this shirt dress Thursday morning and hesitated to purchase the online-only item. I wasn’t sure what size I’d need and I didn’t have enough “ride-along items” to qualify for free shipping. As luck would have it, my final meeting of the day on Thursday was next to the local LOFT store where I spotted this piece hanging by its lonesome. It was a size small, which I would never had started with in the fitting room had a full size run been available, but it miraculously fit. It was obviously meant to be. 😉 I love the three-quarter length sleeves and the muted color palette, which make the dress a perfect summer-to-fall transitional piece.

And then, since I was on a sartorial lucky streak, I noticed that this Cynthia Rowley dress that I purchased last week is now available at an even steeper discount and headed to the store for a price adjustment. I haven’t featured the Cynthia Rowley dress on the blog yet. If you decide to order it, choose a size to fit your bust. The body of the dress is a wide, swing shape, so that’s not much of a concern for fit. (I ended up choosing a size 6.) The dress is absolutely gorgeous and well made.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!

There will be a daily matchup on their Instagram stories each Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday now through April 5. Each vote in the daily face off is a chance to be one of five grand prize winners! My vote goes to Everybody's Favorite, an everything bagel stuffed with veggie cream cheese.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye ... to this bathroom. Demolition on our upstairs main bathroom starts today! I love old houses and #OldHouseThings, but this bathroom's prior renovation clearly isn't part of the original home -- nor was it done well. A leak from the bathtub into our kitchen on Easter 2020 kicked off our plans for the renovation and it's finally coming to fruition two years later. The prior damage wasn't caused by leaking pipes (although we just replaced all of the old galvanized pipes with PVC plumbing to futureproof the house); it was from water pooling on the edge of the tub after a shower and then spilling over the side onto the floor. As we discovered, the tub isn't level (nor is the toilet) which caused water to flow over. I'm sure we'll discover plenty of other water damage as our contractor's team starts pulling everything out and I'm so excited for the peace of mind that will come from getting everything in tip top shape. 

Today is also the day that fixtures will be installed in the half bath! There's a short punch list of small things yet to do in that space, but the finished product is right around the corner!
