Woodburn Outlets
We went to the Woodburn outlets today...oy. I got an amazing Cole Haan bag (burnt orange basket weave) and a pair of camel/black patent wedge sandals.
BCBG had some amazing sales and I got a great cream/gold trench coat.
I also went to the J. Crew store, bought a comfy weekend dress and drooled over all the fall jackets and colorful corduroy in great colors like weathered wisteria, faded black, ecru, eucalyptus, glazed pecan, graphite, heathered rosebud, light olive, and shadow. Click here to check them out!
I shall post pics in a couple days (of my purchases, not the drool).

Weekend Wear
Let's talk weekend wear...it seems appropriate as we are at 3:48 PM and counting on a Friday...
My favorite things to wear on weekends - flowy dresses, oversized tshirts with scarves or accessories (to make it clear you aren't just wearing it to hide something or out of laziness) and the pièce de résistance; my husband's long fleece shorts with cargo pockets. I know, I know...it sounds goofy but they're comfortable and look damn cute.
My sister-in-law always describes my look as "sassy". I'm not 100% sure what that means but after some delving, I think she means that even on the weekend, when people traditionally "dress down", I take the time to put on jewelry and lip gloss and look like I care. Try it...for one weekend. See how you feel.
Have an awesome weekend. Look in the mirror and like what you see....

Style-ish Statement
I thought it only right to start "Stylish PDX" with a mission statement of sorts. I started writing it and then realized that there are people who've said what I want to say, succinctly and with flair so, here are some of my favorite quotes about style:
“Fashions fade, style is eternal.” ~ Yves Saint Laurent
“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” ~ Coco Chanel
“It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory of fashion that heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure.” ~ Coco Chanel
“Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity.” ~ Plato
"When in doubt, wear red." ~Bill Blass
"The dress must not hang on the body but follow its lines. It must accompany its wearer and when a woman smiles the dress must smile with her. " ~Madeleine Vionnet
"Know, first, who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly." ~Epictetus (Greek Stoic philosopher)
All of the above summarizes my basic philosophy on style - - Oh, and also this:
