My husband and I moved at the end of May. We are still in Seattle but closer to downtown. The neighborhood is stunning and very walkable. We even have a farmers market outside our door!

In Other News:

I went to Seattle Fashion Week at the Emerald City Trapeze Arts. I never do anything fun in the city so this was a bit outside of my comfort zone. I was surprised to see so many fashion obsessed folks in one space.

Before the show I met up with Kelly from Sweet Kelly Anne. She invited me to the show. It was our first time meeting. We were introduced to each other by a mutual friend. We had dinner at Fonda La Catrina and hit it off immediately. I can’t wait for our next meet up.

Last week I had dinner with Camilla from Avenue Camilla. She isn’t blogging anymore, but do check out her amazing Instagram account (updated daily). Camilla is so personable and fun. I felt inspired after meeting with her.

I wore this dress to Seattle Fashion Week. It’s an oldie but goodie. I love the silk fabric and the polka dot print. The cinch waist is much needed and provides a flattering silhouette. The shoes are my go-to for weddings and events and are perfect for a night out on the town.

It’s good to back. See you Thursday!

Polka Dot Pants

These jeans were one of the first pairs of printed denim that I purchased. They are the prettiest shade of  blue with tiny white dots. I love to wear them in the warmer months. The silk blouse is another staple. I’m horrible at keeping white clean, but the reward outweighs the risk.

I’m headed to the Farm & Frills Antique show this weekend with my mom and bestie. I am so excited (see this post from the December show). We are celebrating my best friend’s birthday and going out for dinner afterwards.

For Mother’s Day I’ll be celebrating with my mom and enjoying whatever the day brings. Let’s hope for good food and great weather.

It’s not quite warm enough in Seattle to wear this dress on it’s own, so I topped it off with a cozy pullover, giving it the appearance of a skirt. I’ve had this dress for several years and it never gets old. I love the classic silhouette with polka dots.

This look could be the sister version of this post. What do you think?

Polka Dot Sweater

Whenever I wear this polka dot sweater, people think that I am rooting for the Seattle Sounders or the Seahawks (depending on the season). I am not a big sports fan, but my husband is a supporter of both. So lets just call me a honorary enthusiast.

This sweater is a favorite of mine. It’s 100 % cashmere and the pattern makes me feel like a big kid. It’s a good seasonal piece as we transition into warm weather. The bag is from Nordstrom Rack. I love the color and style, it looks very bohemian and will be great for spring.

A big thanks to my mom for stepping in as photographer while my husband recovers from lasik surgery.

This outfit reminds me of Valentine’s Day. I love the red polka dots in contrast with the pale pink hue of the blouse. The rest of this look is pretty straightforward; cream cords and gold ballet flats.

I’m so glad it’s almost the weekend. Daylight savings time kicked me in the butt. I’m exhausted. Hope everyone has something fun planned. See you Tuesday!

These jeans have become a staple in my closet. I bought them a few years back and continue to reach for them every season. In warmer months, I wear them with a pair of silver flats or sandals, and swap out the sweater for a white blouse with some delicate jewelry.

Thank you everyone for reading Lace & Pearls.  I feel grateful for the support I have received from bloggers, friends, and family.  I really do appreciate every comment and you taking the time to visit this blog.

To those who celebrate Christmas, have a good holiday and enjoy this time of the year with friends and family.

It’s October!

It’s officially October and the weather is becoming chilly here in Seattle. We had a surprisingly warm summer but I’m excited for the cooler temperature and cozy fall layers e.g., scarves, sweaters, boots and coats.

In preparation for fall, I have been going through my closet and trying to pare down anything that I am not currently using. I am transitioning out some light weight items and keeping others for the occasional warm day. Mondays are tough enough – who needs a wardrobe challenge before you get to work.
