Chevron Chic

Most of you know Chicago as the Windy City, and so did I… until I moved to the top of a hill in San Francisco. This city by the bay is windy, especially as you climb further up the hills. And as much as I try to get my hair to cooperate, sometimes you’ve just got to surrender to the wind and throw it on a bun!

This chevron baseball jacket was one of my many scores from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It’s a pretty busy print, so I chose to keep it the rest of my outfit simple with a black top and maxi, finishing it off with gold accessories. I love to take everyday basics and pair them back to one pop item or statement piece. This jacket gives the look personality and a fun seventies vibe!

Notice that pop of pink on my wrist? That’s my new fitbit! The jury is still out on it, but so far I’m really liking it and learning a lot about my body. Do any of you have a fitness tracker? If so what are your thoughts on them?

Casual Monday

Today I’m keeping it casual. Layers, sneakers and bold jewelry are usual suspects in my weekend wardrobe. In San Francisco, I always make sure to dress in layers. You never know where the day will take you and the weather changes drastically from one neighborhood to the next.

Also, sneakers are a must when climbing the hills of San Francisco. I’ve expressed my love for these particular slip-ons in the posts Pop of Mint and Studs & Crochet. They are a great go-to shoe to have in your closet and they go with everything!

When running errands, basics are a must. I love starting with this easy knit tee/skirt combo, throwing on a chambray top and mixing it up with my favorite accessories of the moment. Whether it’s my shoes, purse or jewelry, I always choose one to brighten up the outfit. What’s your go-to accessory to add personality to your basic outfits?

Ferry Building Farmers Market

This past Saturday, my husband and I made a trip to the Ferry Building Farmers Market. I love strolling along the embarcadero when it’s nice out- it’s so relaxing and the views are incredible! We were in search of some fresh fruit, but this farmers market has much more than that! The options were endless for produce, pasta, flowers and more. Check out the amazing hydrangeas I found below!

This weekend was a little chillier in San Francisco, so I opted for my go-to Levi’s 501 Selvedge Jeans and a chambray top. I also broke out my pink TOMS wedges this weekend. Because these TOMS are so cute, comfortable and polished, I chose them as my “dancing shoes” for our wedding reception. Now I love wearing these when I’m spending the day with my husband, it takes me back to how much fun we had dancing the night away! Do you have shoes that carry memories like these do? If so, share in the comments below!
