A year ago yesterday my best friend got married. It was a beautiful, sunny (but cold!) day in Portland, Oregon and it was a lovely wedding. I was their official engagement photographer (no, I don’t normally do photography, I have some awesome friends that do though, who I would love to recommend!) and Save the Date card creator…
Congratulations on one year Sara and Doug!

Last weekend I feel in love with this brilliant pencil skirt from Anthropologie. I have been on the look out for a pencil skirt for awhile and this one pretty much lept right into my arms while I was “just popping into Anthro” while my husband went to pick up our sick (now healed, yay!) Mac from the Apple store. Yes, I’m sure he immediately regretted bringing me along…
Yes, it’s a bright skirt but I love bright colors and here in the North West I don’t think people wear enough color. Come one people color isn’t scary! So to prove it, I put together a little sample of how I would wear this adorable little skirt. I would wear it to go meet with a potential client for instance…
I invested in a chambray button up from J Crew around Christmas and I have already gotten so much use out of it. I wear it all the time with everything! I love the look of a relaxed button up tucked into a lady-like pencil skirt. The tan accessories are a great way to show up in a bright piece such a this bring orangey-red skirt without looking too Rainbow-Brite. I am loving all the orangey-corals that are popping up this Spring! I think that the turquoise necklace is a perfect subtle way to add some more texture and color to the out fit and to make it less fussy. I love turquoise, I have no idea if it’s “in” right now or not, I literally wear turquoise all the time. In my opinion in can almost act as a neutral color.
And then to complete your chic look it’s always in fashion to send a simple sweet “thank you for your time note”. I try to do so, after every meeting with a potential client. Because everyone’s time is important! If you are interested in ordering simple thank you notes (like the ones I use above) or custom thank you notes contact me!

Being on the fringe in this case is a good thing. What an adorable trend I spotted over on 100 layer cake today. (more…)
