Some random musings from the weekend:
1.Have you ever noticed that the women who work in nail salons never have their nails done? I know there is a perfectly practical reason for this, but it’s still ironic.
2.I saw this skirt on the Loft’s website and my first order of business was to load up my kids and drive right over to purchase it. When it wasn’t on sale in store like it was online I made the sales lady go check (cause I’m tacky) and it was on sale. And since they were also having a 40% off all sale items, I got this skirt for a steal. I told you I’m a ninja bargain shopper. And I’ve already thought of about 10 different ways to wear this skirt. Plus, it fits like a glove. This is skirt love.
3.Also, the Loft tells me that blue is the new neutral. This makes me happy.
4.Turns out there’s a lot of stuff to do when you are moving half your house 1,500 miles away and leaving the rest here. This is going to be a manic week.
5.We went to see Cars 2 this weekend and I was sort of underwhelmed by it. Plus it was long. The entire theater seemed to disagree though, so I guess my head just wasn’t in it. All the craziness going on must be affecting my ability to enjoy cartoons. Tragic, I know.
6.The more I hear about how awesome Seattle is, the more I can’t wait to get up there. Even if I am slightly nervous about how we are going to get 5 people and all our junk onto the airplane on Friday. 5 people= 10 bags. And only 2 of us are able to lug anything substantial. They should have a concierge at the airport. Seriously, they should.
Love the skirt with this bright top! And yes, y dont they have their nails done? Maybe after seeing and doing nails all day, they are sick of it? I’m dying to go to Seattle, take me with you when you go!!!
Many Layers Monday
That skirt is absolutely gorgeous!! I love your backyard campout. =) My 3-year old would love that!
love that skirt! and i totally just laughed out loud with your nail salon comment! i noticed that too!
That skirt is darling!!! I feel embarrassed to ask this, but it the Loft that you refer to the same as Ann Taylor Loft? My hubs is a fairly recent college grad and with 2 lil kiddos I’ve been out of the shopping world for too long and am ready to jump back in.
That is so cute that they were camping inside :).
Great outfit and it sounds like you got a very good deal at Loft. Sales inspire me to shop like nobody’s business.
Good luck with your packing!
I followed you here from Real Momma, Real Style.

I love love love this outfit. I need to start taking notes…on how to be a fabulous frugal shopper/how to make things look as pretty as cori does.
I love this skirt and the shirt goes so well with it.
Love the outfit!!! I was in Loft yesterday and could have spent hours in there with that extra 40% off sale. Awesomeness.
Love camping, AZ style.
I’ve never been to Seattle, but its on my list. We have friends who have lived there and loved it. We have friends in the general PNW area and they love it. Hopefully its the summer break you’re looking for… a nice outdoor summertime with mild temps!!!
That skirt is AWESOME!!!!!
Haha your backyard camping is awesome :P Love hoe coral goes perfect with black and white :) xo
i love absolutely everything about this post. good luck! seattle should be way fun!!

Don’t be embarrassed, I had never heard of the loft until a few years ago. Yes, it is Ann Taylor Loft and if you are looking to really create a quality wardrobe I would recommend them every time. Their clothes are classy, comfortable and high quality. And because they have the best sales ever, you can get what you need/want for an amazing steal. Especially if your a little more average sized than I am. There is always an abundance in the “normal” sizes. But even I am able to find a lot of stuff in petites.
This outfit is my favorite! Something about the pattern on the skirt with the bright top…perfect! And I love Seattle…I think you will too. :)
I’ve been following you for awhile. You’ve really helped to inspire me. I’m a new mom and this is my first time linking up with Nina for Real Momma, Real Style. I think you’re just adorable and love the outfits you come up with. Thanks for the inspiration. I love the pop of coral with the black and white skirt!
Love the skirt and the top!
How do you look so fabulous in the heat?! I just moved from Arizona to Southern California and I know how hot it was a month ago. Your blog is one of my favorites. I love your style and the outfits you make! Visiting from RMRS, have a great week getting ready to move!
Awesome! Thanks so much for letting me know. Like you, I’m under 5′ at a whopping 4’11” so it’s important for me to find petites. I also have to self hem so my sewing machine is my besty. Thanks for sharing!
Really love your outfit! So cute! Love the print on the skirt, and the color you chose to pair it with!
