Casual Weekend Wear

This weekend has been non-stop running and activity.  It has been a weekend of chauffering kids, a trip to the tailor, my stepdaughter's 8th birthday...and that's just for starters!

A hectic weekend calls for easy, comfy clothes.  I practically lived in this top from Babooshka Boutique all weekend.  It's oversized fit is comfy, while the style feels fresh.

Jeans:  Torrid

Tunic:  Babooshka Boutique (Available here)

A long oversized tunic like this one is probably on the what not to wear list for curvy petites, but I love this style.  Besides, as I recently discussed on The Curvy Fashionista, fashion rules that are prejudiced towards a tall, thin ideal are meant to be broken.  I actually do plan on hemming this one up a bit soon, but I don't mind it terribly at this longer length.

On Saturday, I paired the top with tie-dye jeans, a purple tank, and flats.

Clutch:  The Limited (Available here)

Tank:  Target (Available in other colors here)

Shoes:  Target

Ring:  Purchased at local jewelry show
Bracelets:  The Limited, LOFT

Today, I threw on black leggings and a tank and added cognac moccasins and tote.

Leggings:  Wal-Mart (Available here)

Moccasins:  Minnetonka (Available here)

Tote:  The Limited (old)

Necklace:  The Limited

Denim Week 2: Tie-Dye and Fringe

Denim Week 2 continues today with a fun evening outfit.

Fringe top:  Wet Seal (Available here)
Jeans:  Torrid (Similar here)

This fringe shirt is completely sheer so I debated what to wear underneath it.  I opted for a beige camisole to show off the burnout print of the tank while still providing some coverage.

Jacket:  LOFT Petites (Available here)

Heels:  Target (Similar here)
Necklace:  The Limited (Available here)

These jeans are a favorite of mine, but I find them hard to wear at times.  The black print top and pink heels work here because they add more visual interest, but they don't overpower or compete too heavily with the jeans.

Earrings:  Express (Available in hematite here)
Clutch:  The Limited

Would you wear tie-dye jeans?

Adventures in Traveling: Plymouth, MA and Middletown, NY

Jeans:  The Limited (Available here)
Blouse:  Target Petites (Available here)
Sandals:  Kohl's (Available here)

On our trip back home, we became pretty determined to make good time and kept our stops minimal.

The last of our featured stops were in Plymouth, Massachusetts and Middletown, New York.

After we left Highland Lighthouse, we got back on the road.  We soon came upon Plymouth, Massachusetts.  I knew we couldn't pass without at least taking a look at Plymouth Rock.  We drove into town and stopped at Plymouth Harbor where we took a look at some of the boats.

We then found Plymouth Rock.  It is down in a pit in the sand, with a viewing area built around it.  The tide is still able to wash over it as the observation deck sits above the ground.  As we learned from a Park Ranger, the current Plymouth Rock is about a third to quarter of the size that it would have been back in 1620 and the "1620" was carved in the late 1800s.  The decrease in the size of the rock has more to do with human intervention than natural erosion.

We didn't spend much time in Plymouth, but it's definitely a place where you could spend the say going through the museum, enjoying the Boardwalk, and taking a boat ride.

We continued on down the road and stopped for the night in Middletown, New York.  We went out to a few bars in town and spent some time visiting with a friend.

The remaining two days of our trip were very low-key as we were worn out and eager to put an end to all the driving.

Hope you enjoyed my travel pics.  Outfit post tomorrow!!
