Sail Away!

I'm trying to get one more wear from my white jeans before labor day.

Top: Forever 21

Pants: Joe's Denim

I wanted to pair this outfit with my boat shoes, but I changed them at the last minute to huraches.

Shoes: Keds

Mint...Yum.

I miss wearing my mint green pants.  I just can't seem to find the right top.  This totally worked on an H&M mannequin. Okay, fine, it was wearing burgundy pants. But they were the same styled pants!

By the way, I'm still trying to track down the burgundy version.  I've been to 3 stores so far and no dice!

85 degree weather!

I wore 2 dresses in one week! Too bad I was in a hurry, I should've attempted to take a better detail shot of the folding (draping?) at the chest.

Dress: Marshalls

Shoes: Dollhouse

I love prints!

Cardigan: Gap

Dress: Nordstrom

Belt: Random belt from another dress?

Shoes: Sam Edelman

Mondays are my Sundays

I actually enjoy my Mondays with R.  We run errands most of the time, but there's something sating about spending uninterrupted time with a loved one.

It also helps that I'm wearing my new A&F jeggings.  I doubted them at first, but now I'm a firm believer.

Top: Forever 21

Blazer: H&M

I didn't get the job.

Total Recall

We watched a free screening of Total Recall, a remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger version.  I just wanted to watch a Colin Farrell movie.

 Top: Forever 21

Cardigan: Abercrombie & Fitch

Pants: Abercrombie & Fitch

Shoes: Toms & Sam Edelman (see below)

I actually wore my new Sam Edelman flats. I started to wear the Toms, but I didn't like the outfit.  So I changed my shoes.

So I got this shirt from Marshall's

It's like a reverse mullet, plain in the front, busy in the back.  I love it.  I just need to figure out how to wear it. I was first drawn to the lovely cobalt blue color.

Then I saw the buttons on the back and the cut of the back hem.

Excitement ensued.

70 degrees in February!

I really wanted to dress up yesterday. Like really bad. I bought these shoes over the weekend at Ross for $20 and I just couldn't wait to wear them.

Pants: Forever 21

To the birds!

I really wanted to wear the bird top to work today.  Like really badly.  I don't know why.

I didn't wear those slippers to work even though I really wanted to. I wore flats from my Report arsenal.

Cardigan: Target

Top: Nordstrom Rack

Pants: Forever 21

The job interview

I wore this to a job interview and I think it's safe to say I didn't get it.  I'm not down or anything about it, it didn't seem like a good fit after the first 5 minutes of interviewing.

As usual, I stuck to my trusted brands.  Bonus were the borrowed shoes from my mom.  I wish I took a better shot of Mary Jane heels.

Blazer: Marshalls

Top: Forever 21

Pants: Express

Shoes: Taryn Rose

It's my birthday and I'll party if I want to!

O-M-Geebus! Marshalls and TJ Maxx had closesout sales last week and while I tried to restrain myself,I still came out with a few things.  I got this dress for $3 and the tights for $1.  Yay!

Dress: Marshalls

Belt: Wet Seal

Tights: TJ Maxx

Working on it

It's been raining for a few days.  With the smallest bit of sunshine outside, I decided that I wanted to wear a dress.  I bought these tights over a year ago and am just getting around to wearing it.

I don't think I'm love with this outfit. I forgot to take a detail pic of my tights. I may add that later.

Cardigan: Express, random belt

Dress: TJMaxx

Tights: Old Navy

Shoes Target

I've got places to go!

This was an errand-running outfit.  I really wanted to wear the top, so I built an outfit around that.

Blazer: Marshalls

Anniversary

I'm not sure if I like this outfit. It looked better in my head. Hubs and I headed out for a fancy 6-course dinner to commemorate our other wedding anniversary.

Can you believe I've had this dress for over a year and this is the FIRST time I'm wearing it? Shame.

Resolution

My penchant for creative outfits is slowing down a bit.  I think it's the weather, it's confused.  I realized that I don't repeat many of my tops here.  It's not that I don't re-wear tops, I just don't seem to like what I'm wearing when I do.  I suppose that should be one of my resolutions?

You can stand under my umbrella

I've been debating whether or not to include pictures of my head on this blog.  I started this blog for myself and never intended to share with anyone.  Not that I was super secretive or anything, I just don't think any of the pics are blog-worthy and only served to create motivation for myself to get dressed.

I wore to run errands today. Those are jeggings, they're made of lightweight denim with an elastic waist, so I'm not sure they're really jeggings, maybe faux jeggings? I love them because elastic waists are a must after New Years partying creeps up around your midsection. The flats are canvas oxfords from LA's Chinatown.

Cardigan: Target

Bottoms: Ross

Closeup of my umbrella shirt - 

Happy 2012!

Despite all my efforts to wear something from the closet for NYE, I wound up buying all new things.  I should add that I bought them all one or two days before NYE.

I'm really proud of this outfit, $20 for the blazer, $18 for the dress and $17 for the shoes. Yay!
