I’ve never tried this combo, thought I’ve had the pants and blouse for a while. I absolutely loved it. It was a little intense but I adore the detailing on the blouse – hidden buttons, wrap- around neck sash. I felt very professional.

Isn’t it grand to find something that is soft and warm and comfortable while also work-appropriate? This dress does exactly that.

I always have a lot of fun dressing for gameday (especially if our team wins). Rather than wear a team t-shirt and jeans, I like to take the color (red) and run with it!

Honeymoon Edition: Roma

Rome was our last destination and I must admit we were really tired by the time we arrived. But, we couldn’t go to Italy without experiencing some history! Above we are on the train from Naples to Rome.

Sightseeing around the city

A hilarious oops

Ro was the tallest man for miles until we met a couple from Holland. The guy was easily 7’1″

I gained 7lbs in pizza ALONE

Below in Campo di Fiori, which is a great place for nightlife and used to be a spot for beheadings!

I can’t believe it’s over! Definitely the trip of a lifetime!

Wednesday was so dreary. I pulled out the brightest pink skirt (it has a matching top!) and my day immediately brightened.

Honeymoon Edition: Getting there

September 13, 2011September 13, 2011Leave a comment

We showed up to the airport (I wore a bowtie) and we were so excited for our adventure to commence. But, we realized almost immediately that our flight was delayed – causing us to miss our connection to Rome. We thought the airline would be happy to help the honeymooners….no such luck. After being told they couldn’t get us out until the next evening – and a little hysterical crying – we were re-booked on a different airline by our fairy godmother/travel agent.

After standby to Chicago > Paris > Rome, then a four hour drive to the Amalfi coast, it was worth it.

I love wearing blue & navy or pink & red (as in this case) together. I think it adds depth to an otherwise simple outfit. Do you feel the same?

Yesterday I was pretty lazy. I put on some really comfy, breezy clothes and easy hair.
