look book: winter shorts

February 21, 2010


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!



{blouse & shorts & shoes JCrew, headband
Chloé, tights Target, belt Urban, bracelet my mom's}

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?

  15. So 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!

  18. I love this outfit, you pretty much look cute in anything you wear!

    So 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!

  19. 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.

  22. 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!

    I 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...

    ReplyDelete
  23. 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.

  45. Ohmigosh Mara this is the cutest outfit ever! I love the rust color of your shorts, and your headband could not be more adorable!

    How fun that you saw Chad Michael Murray at dinner... loved him on "Gilmore Girls" as well - he was so pompous. Did you hear that they might make a Gilmore Girls movie? Yes, yes!! :)
