    Suede Shorts

    March 12, 2015fashion

    suede shorts

    OK, so it’s hard to believe it’s winter when we’ve had such amazing weather here in Sac, but in fact, it is winter for a few more days! Regardless of the season, my legs are a part of my body that rarely get cold, so with temperatures hitting the upper 70’s for the next several days, there’s no better time to show some leg in these suede shorts.

     Sweater and Shorts: Forever 21 (here’s a nice alternate)

    Shirt: Gap

    Boots: H&M

    Sunglasses: Old Navy

    Purse: Phillip Lim for Target

    Suede has been a hot runway trend for quite some time, and for good reason. It’s appropriate for every season.  Maybe you recognize these shorts from this post about the summer/fall transition. In addition to this burnt sienna color, be on the look out for suede in other earth tones, even pastels! And if shorts aren’t your thing,  try a suede shift dress and pair it with your choice of a cozy knit for extra coverage when the temp dips.

    TLG Tip: You know those plastic or cardboard boxes with sale merchandise that you probably walk past because it just looks like there’s a ball of shirts in there and it’s too much to deal with? Well, take a deep breath and dive in! There are deals to be had. I found this sweater for $10 and these shorts for $8 at Forever 21. At H&M, I found these all leather boots for $14. #getintoit

    This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk back to the mean girl in my own head! That bitch always shows up right when I “get ready” to do something. What about you? Let’s face em together. 

There is no right time.
There is no cheat code. 
You just have to humble yourself, frickin show up and  DO IT.
It can be as fun or regimented as you decide so long as you are moving in a forward direction, a direction that takes you closer to that goal.

Are you waiting for the right time? And no, I’m not asking for a friend. I’m asking for myself. There will be no more ideas living in a notebook until it “feels good.” If it feels good, it ain’t growth or taking US higher!

Celebrate the win in advance if you have to. Whatever gets you going (yes, I believe in dessert first).

This week, L E T ‘ S 👏🏾 G E T 👏🏾 I T !  #levelupshowup
    WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME? That there is po WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME?

That there is power in community and Dallas reminds me a lot of Sacramento right now. Shoutout to @dallasites101 for going ALL OUT with their resources. 

That love will always save the day and maybe not in the way you think but just in the way you need. 

That having no power in or out of unit for days and not being able to leave because the roads are so bad is no fucking joke. Talk about a reality check and gratitude break on so many fronts. 

That I really need to get my emergency kit to include “Snowy Conditions” and get a damn shovel + boots. Maybe a truck instead of the Mini? 🚙

Who knew it got like this in Dallas?! 🤯🤯🤯 I didn’t. AT ALL. We’re beyond blessed to have a warm and safe place right now with food, hot water and more.

Prayers up 🙏🏾for everyone that is going through it during this time and for those that still don’t have power, that can’t get to loved ones and those that are having a hard time dealing with this on top of the fact that we’re in a global pandemic. I always say the new year truly starts in February, but it looks like it might be March this time. 

I heard it’s going to be 72 and ☀️next week… y’all, I can’t make this stuff up! 

Are you affected by the weather?! Where are you located?

    Happy Monday, y’all! What is going on? Well, her Happy Monday, y’all! What is going on? Well, here are answers to your questions (😆😆):
◾️Yes, it’s snowing in Dallas...it’s 12 degrees right now. And it’s gonna be cold with potentially more snow this week. WTF 
◾️We had power but now it’s off again...daytime is okay but night time sucks.
◾️I have on a fleece under here but of course when I posed, the sleeves pulled up in the coat (now I get the thumb hole concept...). I don’t own boots for this so my California is showing! ☀️🕶🌴
◾️ @lifeofrudytheboston HATES it as you can tell from his face...but he managed to run for at least 5 min with a pack of other dogs at the park. Thank the LAWD.
◾️ Being snowed in in a city that doesn’t do snow feels crazy. But it’s kind of nice and this will make a helluva story one day.

How’s your Monday going? Tell me somethin good! 🥶❄️☃️

I had another influencer tell me that once. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I haven’t ever nor will I claim to be one, but there’s something about personalizing a space and leaving no corner untouched that gives me a rush! And I will share it as long as I feel like it. 🤣 Small spaces are my jam, and in true Thursday fashion, I had to throw it back to the first place that truly got the wheels turning for me!

I called it the treehouse because it was on the 2nd floor and it was surrounded by trees! The only drawbacks were street parking, no laundry (fluff + fold, hello!) + the lack of counter space for a chef like me, but I made it work with a piece of wood that cornered the sink as well as a drop leaf table that was attached the wall. This space made it to @apartmenttherapy (linked the feature in my bio if you’re curious) and it affirmed my love of small spaces, as you’ve seen over the years. Fast forward to today — and I’m at it again! I’ve got a living room + bedroom on my hands. One is 50% complete. I’ll be sharing more next week and can’t wait to hear what you think!

What projects are you tackling this year? And what vibe are you trying to evoke? For me, it’s all about luxurious comfort and feeling like I’m on vaca. 🛋🏝😎#AtHomeWithKachet
