I wore this over the weekend to do some shopping with my parents. It was almost Spring-like weather so I decided to wear my new Franco Sarto mules before they'll have to go away for a few more weeks once this warm snap disappears. For their first outing I went with a monochromatic blue outfit and threw on a faux fur vest for an extra layer since it was windy.

These photos were taken in the back of the Jurassic Park Discovery Center at Universal's Islands of Adventure. We ended up spending quite a bit of time just sitting here watching The Hulk roller coaster since we needed a break from the crowds and this area was pretty dead (since it's behind a store.) This day was also plagued by a ton of rain storms. Luckily it was our last day in the parks and we already rode the rides we wanted so we were able to just hide out during the rain and leave the park a little earlier than planned to make it back to the hotel before the real storm started later in the evening.

I decided to go blue on blue on blue with a hint of purple and leopard print for a lunch and shopping date with friends. You can never have too much monochrome, right?

On Tuesday I shared by Washington DC cherry blossom photo diary and today I'm sharing my only outfit post from the trip. I was in DC for 3 and a half days but only explored on Saturday and Sunday since I worked from my friend's place on Thursday and Friday. I meant to take photos on Saturday but I kept forgetting because we were having so much fun running around the city.

Unfortunately the lighting isn't the best in these photos because there were so many shadows due to the flowers and I had to find spots with no people (which was a challenge.) But I'll take what I can get!  The day was BEAUTIFUL, it finally felt like Spring.

And here's a quick look at my travel outfit on Thursday. As you can see, I'm working hard on the train on the way into the city. I had a long afternoon of travel mixed with work when I wasn't on a plane or walking in between modes of transport. Sometimes you gotta work in weird places.

Sweater: DKNY (Net-a-Porter sale), Jeans: Free People, Tee: Piperlime

I do still have the original cardigan I wore with this outfit but I decided to wear this darker one instead since it went better with the tights and tee. Funnily enough, this skirt was made with leftover fabric from when my mom helped me make a skirt inspired by Michael Kors. I have worn this WAY more than the one we intended to make, funny how that works.

Tee: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Sweater: Abercrombie (thrifted), Skirt: Made by Mom, Heels: Lanvin (Roundabout Resale)

The Original:

Time for another look inspired by fashion week! Here's a nice simple, monochromatic look from Brooks Brothers. I went a little bit lighter than their navy but it's still quite similar. All you need are skinny cords, sweater and cardigan in the same or similar colors. Next find a matching bag and loafers, burgundy in my case. Top it off with a scarf tied at the neck and you're all set!

Funnily enough my bag and shoes are the same designer, bought at years apart, in different thrift stores. The bag was $2 and the shoes $4. Some of my best finds!

Last weekend we had a nice Spring-like day so I decided to wear light layers. I ended up not needing the purple cardigan, but it adds some extra color to the look and who doesn't love jewel tones? Funny how there can still be a lot of snow on the ground but it was almost 60 degrees outside. Ahh Mother Nature, so weird.

Cardigan: Max Studio, Shirt: Philosophy (Marshalls), Corduroy Pants: Abercrombie, Two-Tone Ballet Flats: Chanel (eBay), Sunglasses: Chanel

If I had a date for Valentine's Day I imagine I would wear something like this. Cozy, but still showing a bit of skin. I don't really have much red in my closet so burgundy will have to do. I hope everyone who has someone to celebrate with enjoys their plans! I will be watching a Good Eats chocolate marathon on the Cooking Channel. WOO!

I am lucky enough to have friends who work at Disney and one of them had a few extra guest tickets lying around so on Saturday we were able to visit both Animal Kingdom and Epcot! So the only park we didn't visit this trip was Hollywood Studios (which I'm not the biggest fan of anyway.) We headed to Animal Kingdom in the morning to go on Safari and spent the rest of the morning into the afternoon at Epcot. We had lunch in Italy at Via Napoli, so tasty! After lunch we walked through the rest of the countries and on the way out I got some DELICIOUS ice cream from France, we're talking top 3 scoops of ice cream I've ever had.

Since I was working most of the day Thursday I wasn't able to take outfit pictures until later in the day when it was dark, so I apologize for the horrible quality! These were taken at Universal Studios after we ran in for a quick ride at Gringotts. After that we went to one of my favorite restaurants, Antojitos, followed by dessert at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium where I had AMAZING flourless chocolate cake.

Welcome my newest sweater - the Trinket Embellished sweater from Banjo + Matilda. You saw it last week in my monthly wardrobe roundup and many of you were itching to see how I would style it! Well here's look one - monochromatic with some "crazy" shoes! We had a few warm days last week so I was able to wear my Lanvin sandals again before it becomes too chilly.
