I absolutely love this pretty little headband made by Chloé. It's been cheering me & my outfits up! This was from a slightly warmer day but since it was still a little chilly I went with some corduroy shorts and tights. Am I the only one itching for summer? It can't come fast enough!

This weekend went by way too quickly! Friday night Matthew and I went out to dinner and celebrated a belated Valentine's Day..since last weekend we were wrapped up with my cousin and her family. It was kind of funny because at dinner we saw Chad Michael Murray {most recognized from One Tree Hill, but I loved him in Gilmore Girls}. Saturday Matthew got a new car! He's been talking about it for awhile and since he has a 45+ minute commute he's really wanted to get one that's more gas friendly. I'll post pictures of it sometime this week! Sigh I hope all of you are more ready for Monday than I am! What did you do this weekend?

ReplyDeletei adore that outfit!! so cute! and the headband is precious!! glad your weekend was wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could wear those here.
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest outfits! I absolutely can't wait to be able to wear shorts, it's so damn cold! Glad you had a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the look, it really suits you!
ReplyDeleteSo funny that you posted about winter shorts. I was thinking about them all day yesterday. I have one pair that I really feel I could pull off with tights and a top but haven't tried it yet. You've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Here is a great idea, lets meet up and go shopping! Ha ha. I adore your wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! I love your outfit. I wish it were warm enough to wear shorts here... we still have quite a bit of snow in Ohio! Boo.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit, you pretty much look cute in anything you wear!
ReplyDeleteSo was Chad as cute in person than he is on T.V.?? A friend of mine was Sophia Bush's bridesmaid when they got married ...so we don't like him now b/c he's a cheat, hahaha.
Have a good week lady!
Super Cute outfit! And I love the headband too! The boyfriend and I might be moving to LA this fall, after 6 lovely years in San Francisco {sniff}, which would mean I would have to buy a car - eek! I haven't driven or owned a car since I moved to SF. Scary! But I would love to hear more about this gas-friendly vehicle of his.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, loveee the shorts! So cute. :) Sounds like you had a great weekend! Eee fun.
ReplyDeleteXoxo- Emily
you're so cute and I seriously just love you.
ReplyDeleteIts far to cold to wear that outfit here.. with tons of rain, but its adorable
while you are itching for summer I am itching for spring. this weekend the tempurature started to rise into the 40's and there was a peak of hope. just a few more weeks I think and the dresses and tights will return!
ReplyDeleteI also, love the outfit by the way. I thought about doing shorts with tights once, but i'm not sure i can pull it off. we will see...
You look totally adorable lady! Oh and I'm jealous you saw CMM - I loved him in both Gilmore Girls AND One Tree. I've heard he's a jerk though. I hope not because that would be sad.
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty smile! Love the ruffle top. I just thrifted one last week for 2 bucks! So cute!
ReplyDeleteyou are so pretty, and those shorts are perfect.
ReplyDeleteyou look like you jumped right out of a jcrew catalogue!! love it! and such a cute headband!!
ReplyDeleteMara, you are so cute :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!!!!
LOVE the shorts/tights/flats. ok seriously I love the whole thing.

You look so cute Mara. I noticed that you have so many different flats. Can you recommend a great store that sells flats? comfy flats lol
ReplyDeleteslammin outfit.

ReplyDeleteAw you look beautiful!!! I've always wanted to do that tights and shorts thing!
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is perfect for California winter! All your skin is covered for any wind or evening chill you may get, but you don't have to wear tons of layers!!! Jealous...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you saw Chad Michael Murray!!! That is so cool : )
Sean is getting a new car too!! Which will be "ours" until I can afford one too.

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute outfit, and the headband looks great with it. I'm amazed that you can even wear shorts with tights! It's still way too cold for that here. You make me want to go out to California and soak up the sun.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! And look so good on you. I could never pull something like that off!
ReplyDeleteyou are adorable young girl! I love your blog! I'm definately a proud follower now! follow me im following you! :)

ReplyDeleteI love your top! And I really like the shorts/tights combo, but I'm too afraid that I would look silly in them!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I loved his character in Gilmore Girls!
I hope your work week goes okay! This is the first full week of work I've had in almost 4 weeks because of snow and holidays!
