{outfit} A Minor Variation

These shorts were an immediate favorite the moment they arrived in the mail. I've wanted to wear them every day, but I have resisted. I tried to style it differently than this look last week, so I went for a more classy outfit (I think...) I took the opportunity to wear my new Splendid top from the Net-a-Porter sale. It is a bit loose up top, so I can't bend down without giving people a show, but that's okay because it's super comfy!

Top: Splendid (net-a-porter) $30, Sweater: Tahari (Marshalls) $20, Shorts: Zara, Flats: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) $95 w/gift card, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (net-a-porter) gift card, Bracelets: old, Cobra Necklace: Vanessa Mooney giveaway, Belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction (Marshalls) $7, Watch: Michael Kors

(wow, my legs look super long in that second picture...for those of you that have been asking I'm only 5'2" or 157cm)

It was sprinkling when I took my pictures so I decided to do a crazy one ;)


And for those of you that don't know, my outfit post titles are (almost) always song titles, here's today's: A Minor Variation by Billy Joel :)

FINALLY to keep us in the Olympic mood, and since Women's Gymnastics is on again tonight I thought I would share some of my past with you. I did gymnastics for 13 years. I wasn't at the Olympic level, but I was pretty good. The first video is from when I was 9 at an exhibition and is really embarrassing. The second is a meet when I was in high school. (I won Nationals in 2004 with that routine for my age group) I might share some more with you another day if you want.

  2. I love those shoes! We went to the Marc Jacobs store in Savannah on vacation and my 4 year old daughter saw them then ran over, picked one up and hugged it and said "I want this!". LOL! Everyone in the store laughed. Awesome gymnastics footage!

  6. Such cute shoes! I like both stylings of the shorts! Awesome videos, too. I love the Olympics because it really pays homage to sports that don't usually get as much attention.
