What I Wore: The Green Gene
what I wore: dress – vintage via grey dog, earrings – vintage, ear cuff – the icing, platforms – FRH, rings – vintage via mae’s
–
This is one of the first dresses I bought from Grey Dog and it’s still a favorite. I typically wear it on St. Patty’s but also like to bring it out other times. Wearing green makes me feel lucky for some reason. The (gigantic) hair was a bit of an accident. I put leave-in conditioner on dry hair and put it up before I went to sleep. When I took it down this in the morning, I put it in hot rollers.
What I Wore: Olive

Olive is a color I love but don’t often wear. I’ve had this dress for a while but I don’t think I’ve ever worn it. I cleaned out my closet the other night and was pleasantly surprised to find it.
What I Wore: Chevron
what I wore: dress – ann taylor, flats – go jane, bracelet – dannijo, sunglasses – asos

I love chevron. It feels really funky, I also love these comfortable green flats from go jane. Sometimes when I wear a shorter hemline to the office, I try to tone it down with flats so it’s not soooo much leg.
What I Wore: Greenery
what I wore: cardi – express, skirt – vintage melrose options via potter’s house, booties – gojane.com
I’ve been dying to try this outfit out. It’s an old (see 1995) Express cardi worn backwards with a new-to-me vintage silk skirt from potter’s house. Topped off with neon green booties (called yellow on site) I just purchased at gojane.com. Go Jane has been such an exciting find for shoes lately! The prices are great and the heels are high! I also got these great orange high tops that I plan to wear with delicate skirts ala TTH & some giant tweed platforms in blue. Scroll for more photos!
What I Wore: Blue & Green

Look! It’s another transitional maxi dress! This time it’s blue, green and purple – oh my! Seriously, I am taking my maxi obsession to a whole new level. When I saw this dress (it has a low back by the way – can’t wait to bust it out this summer) I knew it would work with both my teal bolero and my padded purple-people-eater blazer. I chose the teal and I loved the combo.

I’ve been enamored of long vintage dresses lately. I love this one in particular. It’s so different than anything else I have in my closet.
Monochrome
Isn’t monochrome the tops? I find it easiest to do with black or white but I love it no matter the color – especially brights. It’s sleek, slimming and oh-so-on-trend.

Yummy Spring Pasta
I saw this recipe on 101 Cookbooks and immediately decided to make it last night. I changed a few things and it turned out so yummy/easy!
Spring Pasta Recipe
I used angel hair but thin, egg noodles, spaghetti, or fettuccine would all work as well.
8 ounces / 225 g cooked, leftover pasta
3 eggs
fine grain sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter3 big handfuls of sliced asparagus, and/or pea shoots, or tiny broccoli trees, or shredded greens, or green beans, or spinach – anything quick cooking and fresh
chopped avocado
chopped herbsOptional: 1 tablespoon cream, Parmesan cheese, Breadcrumbs
Use your fingers to fluff up the leftover pasta a bit, so its not clumpy or stuck together. Set aside.
In a small bowl crack the eggs and beat them really well with a pinch of salt.
In a big skillet melt the oil and butter over medium high heat. If you’re using a vegetable that might take longer to cook than others, add those to the pan – for example, asparagus or broccoli. Add a couple pinches of salt, stir, cover, and cook for a couple minutes. Until the vegetables are bright, and just cooked. Now stir in anything that just needs a quick flash of cooking – in this case pea greens, but chopped greens would go in at this point if you’re using those. Stir, and cook just until tender – a minute or so. Pull about 1/3 of the vegetables out of the pan and set them aside.
Now, add the pasta to the skillet, and toss well. Once the pasta is hot, turn down the heat, wait a moment, then quickly stir in the eggs (optional – stir in cream, pasta water). Stir well, then cover the pan, remove from heat, and let everything sit for a minute. Uncover, give everything another toss, the egg should be cooked through. Taste, and adjust the seasoning before dividing between two plates. Top with the reserved vegetables, and some chopped avocado (optional – top with breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese).
Serves 3.
