Weekend Update
The last of my outfits from my summer 30 for 30, a peek at the florals I designed for a wedding at Mackay Gardens, and a fun night of music and celebration at the Gram Parsons Derry Down.

Final Four
Remix #27 of 30 :: black silk dress + drape vest + nude stiletto sandals I don’t have much time to write today; I have a cooler full of hydrangeas and roses that I have to whip into bridal designs for a wedding and a bucket of sunflowers to drop into mason jars for an event downtown, and I want to breeze through it all so I can get a jump start on the weekend. If you’re interested in behind-the-scenes stuff around the flower shop, you can follow me on Snapchat or Instagram — both ‘keiralennox’ — to see what it’s like to run around like a headless chicken/be a florist. {wink} Happy Friday, friends!
Summer Scarf
Remix #26 of 30 :: roll-sleeve shirt + dark skinnies + stacked heel sandals One of the risks of a small seasonal capsule wardrobe is occasional clothes casualties. Two of my pieces didn’t survive the 30 for 30: I wore my cropped jeans to help with a downtown volunteer project after work and splattered them in red paint; and I washed my black cropped pants in an effort to shrink them a bit, but just faded them instead. Thank goodness we’re nearing the end, because with my track record of accident-prone clumsiness I’d probably be out of clothes by the end of next month. Since my bottom options are dwindling and I don’t want to wear my denim cut-offs to work, I’ll have to get a little creative with my remixes over the next few days. This morning I reached into the farthest dark abysses of my closet to find my neglected scarf collection, and pulled out the very lightest linen one I own to zhush up a plain white blouse and skinnies.
Almost There!
Remix #25 of 30 :: olive wrap-front top + white ankle skinnies + suede ballet flats I’ve had a lot of fun with this summer 30 for 30 remix challenge — so much, in fact, I’m thinking of doing a fall version in October! — but I’m ready to wrap it up and let these white ankle skinnies hibernate for a while.
Double Denim
Remix #23 of 30 :: denim jacket + dark skinnies + texture knit tank + stacked heel sandals Kids went back to school last week, and like every year around this time, it feels like someone flipped a switch on our slow summer pace and lit up the flower shop with orders, weddings and events. I would really like to wrap up my summer 30 for 30 remix by the end of next week, but I’ll probably keep posts short and sweet as I savor these last few weeks of sweet summertime — I’m so sad to see it go! — and get adjusted to the upswing at work. It always takes a minute to shake off the summer lazies and get back in the swing of things. ;)
Dressed Up Denim
Remix #22 of 30 :: denim shirt + wrap skirt + blue suede heels If I still worked in an office (with a ‘creative’ dress code) I think I would wear something like this every day. The denim shirt feels modern and effortless against a printed skirt, and the pop of color in the shoes keeps things fun. This silhouette works really well on a petite curvy frame: the pencil-style skirt accentuates the waist, minimizes hips, and lengthens legs. Pretty much everything this 5’4″ girl is looking for in an outfit. (Also, fellow style bloggers, don’t you love when you get all your outfit shots done and then realize your hair elastic was on your wrist? Ugh.)
