Wednesday's Wardrobe, err make that Thursday's Threads?

I hope you all enjoyed meeting Whitney yesterday! Hopefully you took the time to visit her blog and see her beautiful pictures and if you haven't, do it now!  Despite life/August's craziness I wanted to share a few of my favorite threads from the past week.  I wore a lot of bright colors this week, I think I'm subconsciously pulling for all my summer brights before summer comes to a close.

I apologize for the poor quality of some of these photos; it was REALLY late at night and my groggy husband was reclined on the love seat when I asked him to snap a few on my point and shoot.  Also, lets not focus on the frizzed out-gym hair happening up top, after all it was late! I love this skirt, my mom made it from a Lilly Pulitzer pajama top because we both love Lilly and I love to be comfortable.  It's like Pajama Jeans but cuter!

I spy with my little eye "love you too much" in the fabric, do you?  

See the buttons of the pajama top?

 I wore this dress to work and then to fly home to Boston. You know how I feel about poor airport attire, so this was dressy enough for work, but comfy enough to fly in.  Best of both worlds! This dress was one of my first purchases from XXI, its just so colorful and fun.  To think I'd have missed the XXI boat if my friend Marisol hadn't told me that us 21+ gals could shop there too!  This purse is my go-to for summer travel as its super soft, goes with everything and holds a ton of magazines for the plane.

Marisol and I did some shopping Monday before heading back to D.C. and scored some great baubles from Bella of Cape Cod and Jackie's in Chatham.  I picked up these earrings because they remind me of flower drop earrings my Nana used to have; wish I had her real ones...and all her beautiful gloves.  I digress, but using the earrings and necklace as inspiration, this outfit came together lickity split! Thankfully so, because I was running late after a super-delayled flight (grumble grumble.)

How do we feel about the bigger photos? Bigger is better right? This is America after all! Now, does anyone have any idea how to pack for 8 days in Lake Tahoe/Yosemite/San Francisco with temperatures ranging from high 30's to mid 80's in the one bag your husband sanctioned for your use?  Suggestions are most welcome (recommendations of things to do are too!)
