Black and White on a Gray Day

Hey kids! It's sort of gray in Pittsburgh today, but not too cold. I woke up wanting to wear this skirt, paired with a pop of bright color.


So, this is our Here and There skirt matched up with these comfy rad sandals from Jambu, a long cobalt blue tank from Target, and a sweet little jacket from Svoboda. I adore this jacket, and have a bell-sleeved version that I will be living in once it gets super cold.

I have to give a shout out to Svoboda, because they are probably my favorite plus-size designer. Their jeans are the best, cut beautifully for both comfort and hottness, though they are seriously not cheap. For several years I was able to pick up samples and overstock on ebay at a huge discount, but they don't appear to be selling there anymore. Bummer.

Fun fact: these pics were taken in front of the Electric Garage, where gross old cars are transformed into shiny electric cars by super smart folks from ChargeCar (part of the CREATE lab at CMU, where my honey works). This building used to be an Exxon station, and I worked here one veeeeeery long winter when I was in school. Good times?
