Relaxed Saturday

Saturday morning was sunny and quiet. Before I went to see Chelsea's Dance performance at her school, I took a walk with this casual looking outfits at Boston Common, enjoyed the ease of a relaxed long weekend.

Do you see the beauty face with the big flower on my favorite graphic tee?  I found out I'm very into graphic tee this summer and Forever 21 usually is a good resource for me to find some very interesting one. Also, the stripy sandals is a good deal from the weekend clearance sale. I loooooooove it!

Graphic T-shirt: Forever 21

Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Friday! The long Memorial Day weekend started with the fantastic sunny weather. Summer officially is here at the New England.

I had my Breton Stripes series but still want to show this strip shirt I got from Loft factory outlet a couple of weeks ago. It has been my favorite weekend gear. Not because the strips were trendy this spring, but it brought me lots of sweet memories. I used to work for a ship-building company and often on board worked among this kind of sailor shirts. My young and pretty days!! :)

Pair with white, Am I Sailor?

My go- with- anything shoes of the 2010 summer.

The fun and stylish design of the stripes. I love it!

Add a feminine touch of my flower bracelet.

Still thinking of the sweet old time? 

Wish everyone a fun relaxed weekend.

Strip T-shirt: LOft

Business Casual- My summer dress series 1

I like dress from my heart. It's pretty, elegant, as well fun and easy to go. As my friend Vicky mentioned in her blog, you don't have to think about what to wear and what to pair, it's there already, for you. Finally the precious summer time is here, I can't wait to show them off.

This dress I got from the Limited during last season's big sale . The price was twenty something. I like black and white , very easy to add with any color as you need. And the simple business casual style will never be out.

Casual style even with pocket

you also can add a belt to make it little formal

   

How could I forgot the beautiful gorgeous Rhododendron!

Big show off my flower bracelet! One of my favorite little things now.

I'm inspired by my friend Vicky and lots of fantastic fashion bloggers from Jessica's whatiwore, who blogs on the daily base. I'll also try to do as much as can. This is all I can promise now. :)

Dress: The Limited

The Color of Summer

Rhododendron is such a popular plant that you almost can see it everywhere in New England. It's the beautiful representitive of summer of New England. Looking it year by year, I start to like the color.

At the weekend of a couple of weeks ago. Inspired by those flower beauties, I bought a matching color sweat shirt from GAP.

Washed several times by the rain, they still looked elegant. So I tried this lighter color (lavender?)

I was told sometimes we need some "special effect" for my photo to look more meaningful. You get it? Well, I don't. :) Enjoy the fantastic summer!

Pants: GAP
knit shirt: GAP

Sweet, and Rough?

Jessica from what I wore is hosting another style challenge: Sweet and Rough . Use one delicate romantic pieces mixed up with something edgy.
First thing pop up to my mind is this little dress from the Limited. However, to me, it's not even a candidate for romantic piece. ( That would be something white, purple, lavender? :) ) But,  I just like it, like it, like it! So I'll see how far I could go with it.

Going to work, Sweet?

 After work, Having fun!

Party? Party!

 Sweet, still not Rough!

Well, I usually don't collect something rough looking. So rushed to target after work, and found this studded belt, black chain necklace and drove to home to catch the last piece of sunshine.

Ordinary Working Wednesday

It's Wednesday, an ordinary working day, and it was rainy and cold. Didn't want to get down by the weather in morning, so first thing into my eye was this yellow shirt. I did need something to lighten my eye and cheer me up! To add some fun, I even put on the little scarf from my good friend. It so worked out. Smile was back on my face. yeah, tomorrow is going to be in 80s and start to count down for the weekend! Put on my little jacket, classical but not so boring, off I went.

The pictures were taken after I came back from work. It was already getting dark due to the rain. But I still like to show my normal work outfit for an ordinary work day. And I still has my smile after a long day. Color sometimes does help!

Outfits:
shirt: Jacobs
Jacket: Banana Republic
Pants: Banana Republic
Heels: ALDO.
