Why may you ask am I “Sergeant Turtle” in this outfit? Well I’m combining the military look with spring’s hottest trend – the turtleneck!!! Oh wait, turtlenecks aren’t hot for spring? They’re actually intended for old ladies with poor circulation (like me)? Oh ok, well nevermind.
Ok, I’m a broken record, but I am sick of the cold. I’ve all but given up and am just wearing whatever keeps me toasty throughout the day (lotsa cardigans lately). I did forgo my boots for flats, which left me with cold feet, but that’s ok. At least there’s no snow on the ground (as of now).
Gray trousers: H&M
Camel turtleneck: H&M
Navy military style vest: H&M
Nude flats: L.L.Bean Signature
Gold necklace: vintage
Watch: Michael Kors
Wood ring: H&M
Apparently I was repping loads of H&M with this look. I am a definite devotee to the brand, have been for years. I started my first “real” job the Monday after I graduated from college on a Saturday (I’m ambitious / crazy). That Sunday I hit up the 5th Ave H&M and bought out the “office wear” section. Those pieces got me through a lot, and I still wear many of them.
Is there one brand you turn to again and again?

Salt = sodium = bad.
Sweet = calories = bad.
Well, isn't that just a bleak outlook. I firmly believe that without salt and without sweet we all just live in a world of lettuce. Plain lettuce. Fun? No.
This blog is about life. Namely, my life. But, not that specific. I myself am simply not that interesting. I live an ordinary life, work an ordinary job and do ordinary things.
But... life is all about experiencing that feeling you get when you really, really like something. If you don't feel a little warm in your heart when you walk into a farmer's market or try on a piece of beautiful clothing that fits you perfectly (that just so happens to be a great deal!) then you should probably keep on a' movin' from my little plot of internet.
Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie - yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank - now we're talking!
I live in Portland, Maine. I love cooking, eating out, riding my bike and approachable fashion. This blog does not chronicle my every waking moment. This is because you will probably not be entertained by the 10th day in a row that I eat the exact same salad for lunch. It does chronicle a healthy, active, fun-filled, colorful lifestyle, in Portland and beyond.
It also covers dogs. Cute ones mostly.
