The Blue Sapphire in the Rusty Crown

Cath and I voted together last week. I still get excited about voting, even if I know the outcome might not be exactly as I hoped. There is something really satisfying in performing your civic duty, isn’t there? Or maybe I just really like the peach sticker we get in Georgia once you turn your ballot card in to the voter station volunteers.

Once we left the voter station (local church basement), Cath and I thought we should capture our post-voting glow in the parking lot. I have no idea why I’m pointing to my belly button here. I think it was part of my “where should I put my peach sticker” discussion with Cath.

Going to vote in the middle of the workday means that Cath and I are both attired for work. She wouldn’t be allowed to wear shorts like moi to the office (even if their salaciousness is mitigated with black tights and an oversized cable-knit sweater). But I love how she always looks so chic and not too conservative.

Ooo this is my new love (above). My mom thrifted this Coach bag a few months back ($30!), but found it was too small for her. I love how structured it is without being stuffy.

(Below) Cath is the queen of the messy bun! I so need to learn how to do that with her panache.

Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend!

On Lar: jacket from Express, shorts are from Old Navy, hat is H&M, shoes are Tarjay, sweater is from TJ Max, purse is thrifted Coach.
On Cath: necklace from Rockit Boutique in Decatur, shirt from Zara, shoes, pants and blazer from H&M

  1. Cath-you were not lying about the adorable peach sticker-jealous! And Lar, I am loving that Coach bag so much. Very jealous. And for cheap!

  2. It’s funny how I get the most compliments on my hair when I pull it into a messy bun just like hers w/o even glancing in the mirror. Of course if I actually put thought into my ‘do no one notices.

  3. both of you are so cute! I wish I could wear shorts to work too! But alas, I dont think they would fly at the library.

    That I voted sticker is a billion times more awesome than the one we get in Vegas!

  4. I love the “blue sapphire in the rusty crown.” My city, Lawrence, is known as The Blue Dot, in much the same way. We really are just a dot, because we never seem to effect electoral wins.

    You both look extremely stylish in these pictures. Most fab.
