Happy Halloween! I haven't dressed up since I was in grade school and actually wore this skirt as my uniform (and not my costume) every day. Yep! This is my actual uniform from back in the day. Cute right? Thank goodness for elastic waistbands :) Anyway, I had a ton of fun dressing up and going out and seeing all the crazy costumes on the streets of San Francisco.  I might just have to do it again next year! Do you dress up for Halloween?

tribal heels: not made for walking

Meet the latest addition to my shoe collection
She doesn't have a name because, I don't know the brand, but I got them on super sale at Nordstrom Rack for less than $25, and the original price was over $100. With a deal like that I couldn't walk away, even though I was only in there to buy hair products.
And speaking of walking, these shoes were not designed to go the distance. I was almost that tacky girl who walks around like her feet are about to fall off. 
But I pulled myself together and within 3 mins, you would have thought I was in Nike's
Don't forget to check me out on INSTAGRAM (@iamsimplychic) for sneak peeks of future posts, outfits that won't make it to the blog, all my weekend festivities & a little bit of everything else.

fill in the gap

The weekend is over and I don't feel refreshed at all (sigh). Whoever came up with 5 days on/2 days off is a nut. 
Anyway, speaking of work, this is what I wore to the J-O-B a couple of weeks ago. I leave it to Gap to help me keep things simple and chic :) 
And a little Michael Kors doesn't hurt either...

wearing: gap shirt (SIMILAR) & skirt (SIMILAR), michael kors bag & WATCH, sam edelman sandal, nordstrom necklace

zara zebra

In my LAST POST I was debating on whether I was going to make it a blockbuster weekend because of the pain I've been feeling at the pump. Well, that didn't happen. Instead, I headed out to an ART WALK (a.k.a a massive block party) and this is what I wore...a Zara jacket, and a zebra blouse. 

P.S. So happy for 1)falling leaves 2)jacket/coat season 3)INSTAGRAM follow me @iamsimplychic

wearing: zara jacket (SIMILAR,SIMILAR FROM ASOS), urban zebra blouse (SIMILAR F21),urbaN pants, matiko wedges

daisy

Just a quick post on this Friday night before I figure out if I want to do anything or not. With gas prices at $5 a gallon. It might be a blockbuster night weekend. 
It was so hot and fabulous this week, that it really didn't make sense to wear anything other than a sundress. But of course the office AC always calls for something on your arms...

wearing:old navy daisy dress, macy's denim jacket, nordstrom necklace,sam edelman heels

high.low.late

The fact that it takes me forever to wear something new is a huge reason I'm not that big on trends. I bought this high-low skirt way back in May when I was in Waikiki, and I didn't wear until Labor Day, not to mention I'm just now getting around to posting it #late. Anyway, I'm not really into the high-low thing anymore and I'm really considering taking it to my seamstress and making it one length...

wearing: OLD NAVY cargo vest, f21 high low skirt (SIMILAR), thrifted belt, diesel heels, TOMS KATHMANDU SUNGLASSES c/o,  MICHAEL KORS TORTOISE WATCH 
worn to: labor day festivities

a day at the races


I love horses, I love an excuse to dress up, we all know I love food (and mimosas), so it only makes sense that my first experience at the Turf Club at Golden Gate Fields was a fun one. I’ll be back, with more money to spend and win, and maybe even a hat.

wearing: f21 polka dot top (DRESS VERSION), urban outfitters skirt, zara heels, gifted MADEWELL SECRET HEART PENDANT NECKLACE, old navy & target arm candy,MICHAEL KORS TORTOISE SPORT WATCH
worn to: lunch & horse racing at GOLDEN GATE FIELDS followed by dinner at THANH LONG

is it a dress?

Ummm, so I really don't know if this is a shirt or a dress. It looks like a dress in these pictures, but if you see it in person, it's kind of pushing the envelope, it's kind of thin and my uncertainty about it's intended use is why I've had it for almost a year and never wore it. Well, when trying to figure out what to wear to a club, a place I don't venture to often, I figured if there was ever an appropriate time to go out in public wearing a shirt as a dress, this would be it. So I went for it :) 

wearing:urban outfitters "dress", diesel heels, nordstrom necklace, target belt
worn to: the club for a birthday party
