Feathers & Motorcycles

It's Sunday morning and I'm still on a natural high from last night's concert: Atmosphere at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. Even though it was really cold, it was a great show, and I had a lot of fun people watching in between performers. It's always fun to check out what the college kids are wearing, as well as see all the wanna-be rappers. It was pretty hilarious.

To wrap up my 5 for 5 week, here are my Thursday and Friday outfits. Just for the record, I did not wear short shorts to work on Friday--I had on black skinny pants and then changed to shorts for night. Which truthfully didn't last long; I had a bit of a reality check when we were taking the photos (Friday was miserably windy and quite cold). It was back to the pants as soon as I got to happy hour.

Thursday:

Top: Leifsdottir * Pants: Collective Concepts * Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell * Purse: Coach

Friday:

Feathered Top: Ya * Shorts: To The Max * Cardigan: Tronata *  Shoes: Chelsea Crew

The Sun is Shining, The Weather Outside is Sweet, Yeah

I'm a rainbow too...

Anyone remember that Bob Marley song remixed by Funkstar Deluxe? Reminds me of my beer-slinging London days. It was the perfect anthem for today.

It was one of those days when everyone was dressed to the nines. We all got to strut around in our finest warm weather clothes. I was riding public transit this morning and I wanted to take pictures of everyone. I can't believe San Francisco is sometimes considered to be lacking in style. On any given day I'm so impressed with the abundance of creativity and style.

This morning I was totally unprepared and having a hard time making an outfit work... but then I put this skirt with this top, threw on some animal accessories (belt, bracelet, earrings) and voila!

Tuesday

So there was allegedly going to be nice weather today.  Allegedly.

Anyhow, I wanted to go with a feminine look, so I wore my pale pink Grecian-style dress, which flows so beautifully when I walk. It's as much a sensory-pleasing dress as it is a visually pleasing one. I actually had a skater guy pull of his headphones to tell me, "Miss, I really like your dress." Still not sure what warranted the "Miss," but it was really sweet nevertheless. Normally I wear this dress with a wider belt, but I'm just so into slim belts right now. Never hurts to do an accessories shake up to avoid clothing ruts.

I woke up with some wild hair today, so I thought I might as well run with it!

Alright, here's Tuesday:

Dress: H&M  *  Belt: Calvin Klein  *  Shoes: Sam Edelman

Monday, Monday

This week I'm going 5 for 5: I'm going to post every outfit. Which means I've got to be prepared, so I'll keep it short and sweet tonight so I can go plan for Tuesday!

Suffice it to say that Mondays are anything but fun, but I swear, dressing up a little takes off the edge. My validation today? My straight male co-worker told me, "I really like your outfit. You're really on the cutting edge of fashion..." Not so sure I'm on the cutting edge, so to speak, but I do think about it a lot and I'm not going to pretend that I don't like compliments!

And on another note, I've changed the settings on commenting, so hopefully you'll now be able to post. I'd love to hear what you think!
