There’s this great scene in the movie Old School where Will Ferrell’s character, Frank the Tank, explains to a college student what he has planned for his “big” weekend day:  “Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we’re going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath & Beyond, I don’t know, I don’t know if we’ll have enough time!”

I love the enthusiasm Frank has for a mundane, errand-filled Saturday.  It’s easy to get excited about an overnight trip to the beach or a fabulous dinner in the city, but for most of us, not every weekend is going to be like that.  We have shopping to do, dry cleaning to pick up, kids’ soccer games to attend — not necessarily the stuff that fashion blogs are made out of.  But I think the everyday weekends get a bad rap.  To me, they can be just as fun as the glamorous weekends (after all, I’ve walked out of Bed, Bath & Beyond many times with some sort of space-saving contraption that I just knew was going to change my life), and with not much effort, they can be just as fashionable.

This weekend I ended up running all over Pasadena with my son, including a stop by the Lego fan convention.  It would have been easy to throw on a pair of jeans and some tennis shoes, but I thought I could find something a little different without sacrificing a lot of comfort.  I ended up wearing a Christopher Kane midi-length sundress that I got from MatchesFashion (http://www.matchesfashion.com) and Manolo Blahnik kitten heels.  Sundresses are always easy to wear, and the midi-length is even more forgiving.  Kitten heels are starting to be my go-to casual shoe.  They’re as comfortable as flip-flops, but they add a little bit of height, which is something I always like if I’m going to be in crowds.

I had a great time this weekend.  True, I ate at Pizza Hut instead of Pizzaria Mozza, but it was relaxed and fun and, most importantly, still stylish.
