Uniform Dressing 6:2

I know, I know I owe you all a couple of Uniform Dressing posts since I totally dropped the ball last week and I apologize.  Being sick will mess up some plans that's for sure.  Remember this month, it's all about the color red!  I'm going to hit you with a 1-2 punch of posts.  First up are some red shorts.  Shorts?!?!  I know, I  know, I'm jumping the gun, but like I said before it's been so lovely down here (and the 7 day forecast shows that by Friday it's supposed to be 78) that shorts really aren't that far away.  So let's get cracking with a little Spring inspiration.  Away we go:

16 of 30 - You've seen it before?

I feel like I wore a slight variation of this last week (and I did)!  It was bound to happen during the course of the 30 for 30, I just didn't expect it to be so quick.  Forgive me.  Do note the subtle differences - the necklace and the shoes!  This is slightly more dressed up than the previous version. I'll not be pairing the sweater and jeans again during the challenge, I promise :o)

15 of 30 - Fancy Embroidery

Can I say how much I love this top?  It's fab because it's like wearing a t-shirt, but it's got all that fancy embroidery that makes it special.  I don't really have to wear any jewelry except for earrings.  Easy - peasy!

Also, can I let you all in on a little secret?  The weather is freaking gorgeous here.  Oh my gosh, just perfection, upper 60's or low 70's all week and into the weekend.  I saw my first robin over the weekend and the mornings are made a little easier by hearing the birds singing.  I've got a bad case of Spring Fever, people!

14 of 30 - Tunic and Jeans

I know I've professed my obsession love of tunics.  I have a lot, most of which are nice ones that I haven't worn in quite a while, because they have to be dry cleaned and babies/toddlers are not dry clean friendly (if you can't throw it in the wash then it's a no go).  So they sit in my closet waiting for their triumphant return into my rotation.  Soon, tunics, soon.  This one is machine washable, I first saw it in Vogue a few years ago when I was trying to plan a line and used it as part of our inspiration wall.  I decided to hunt it down.  I found it at Lord & Taylor in NYC (conveniently located across the street from my office).  Lunchtime score!

My Five - Victoria Beckham Fall 2011

I always seem to kick off Fashion Week coverage with Victoria's collection.  It's always one I'm excited to see.  This collection was full of color with a more relaxed silhouette (me thinks she will be rocking many of the looser dresses as her pregnancy progresses).  This time around she introduced coats along with some additions to the handbags introduced last go round.  All in all, I've got to give her a lot of credit for her consistency and ability to edit which always makes for a strong showing!  Enjoy my picks!

13 of 30 - Cornflower Blue and Khaki

I love this look, it was super comfortable.  I got this cardigan at Target a few months ago on the clearance rack for $9.  I was attracted to it because it was a color I didn't have in my closet (I had to fight the urge to not pick up the grey version).  I almost wish I'd picked up the grey version too, but in a larger size for layering.  Oh well.

12 of 30 - Blue, Green and Grey

I saw, and liked,  this ever so popular cobalt blue color paired with olive green somewhere and I thought - bingo! - that would be a great palette for an outfit.  Luckily, I had the blue and green in my 30 for 30 picks.  I wish my pictures weren't so dark, but trust me this color combo works (I threw on the grey cardi for good measure).  Love this outfit, perfect for the weekend!
