10.31.11

I sort of forgot it was Halloween until later in the morning, so I did not dress in a very Halloween-y manner. Don't worry, I changed into a black sweater, jeggings, and boots when it was time to give out candy.

10.28.11

Today was a full workday with almost nobody else in the office, followed by our quarterly Girls Night Out! Also, it suddenly turned freezing cold, so it was corduroy pants again, as well as my warmer winter coat for the first time this season!

I put this outfit together (in my head) the night before. Saved me a lot of time this morning!

Sweater - Old Navy
Camisole - Old Navy

Shoes - Sag Harbor
Earrings - gift



I stopped at Costco on my way home and this lady in line behind me was asking me about clothes (she was buying some sweaters or something) and telling me how nice I looked. It was odd :o)

10.24.11

Last week one of my coworkers wore probably this same pair of cords, which reminded me that I should wear mine. Since it's been so chilly lately, it was the perfect excuse to wear soft, warm pants and a cozy sweater. (I don't completely understand why, but this sweater is so much softer and warmer than my other cardigans.)

10.20.11

Four consecutive days in the office, can you believe it?! Today was our last day with our new contractor in the office, so I wore a fun sweater in case we took some group photos or anything. We didn't.

10.19.11

This is the debut of the other item I got with my Lands' End Canvas LivingSocial deal. In this case, I ordered the shirt in my regular size, medium, and... I kind of wish I'd gotten a small. It fits well, it's just a little looser than I usually wear. But I guess that's the LEC fit.

10.18.11

We have a new contractor visiting this week to get oriented in her new job. Yesterday was her first day in the office, and she and our other coworker both wore purple, black, and gray! I was like, "Ugh, I wore those colors all week last week! Why didn't you tell me so I could coordinate with you?!" So I wore that combo today, instead.

10.17.11

Yes, I wore almost this exact same outfit exactly two weeks ago. Just the pants and earrings are different (but similar). I was going to wear a different sweater, but I didn't like the way the crew neck interacted with the neckline of the shirt. So it was back to my trusty v-neck cardi!

I liked my other picture better, but it was too blurry to use. So you get this one with crazy eyes instead.

10.15.11

Ok, one more day of black, gray, and purple week! This time I worked it into what has become my weekend uniform lately.

Shirt - Old Navy
Sweater - Lands' End Canvas
Jeans - Old Navy
Shoes - Mossimo

I ordered this sweater from LEC because I had a LivingSocial gift certificate to use there, and I can always do with a new gray sweater, right? Unfortunately, it was on clearance, and while I usually wear a medium, that size was not available, so I went with small. The arms are a tiny bit short. But I'm not sure I would have wanted the body of the sweater any bigger or longer. I think it looks fine - and I love it!

10.14.11

Well, did you figure it out? This has been black, gray, and purple week! And to cap it off I was going to wear a solid black top, but I decided to pull out this black and gray shirt instead.

In case you were wondering, my nails have been painted in Sally Hansen "Uptempo Plum" for most of this week - a very very dark purple - though that was not intentionally chosen to coordinate with black, gray, and purple week.

I could not get a good picture this morning. This was the best combination of face + hair + clothes that I could get.

Have you noticed a theme in my outfits this week? Stay tuned tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!

10.11.11

Here is another of my Loft outlet purchases (you may remember its turquoise sister from last week).

Shirt - Loft
Cardigan - Merona
Slacks - New York & Company
Shoes - American Eagle



This was the other pair of shoes I got at Payless that they didn't have in the size/color I wanted online. They're purple, but very dark. I think they'll look great with jeans, too.

10.10.11

It's Monday :o( But I am wearing two new things today :o) This cardigan is another purchase from the Loft outlet. I was unsure about it because of the cropped length, but I know you're not supposed to wear things that hit at the widest part of your body, and all my sweaters hit right there at my hips. I like this one because it hits at the narrowest part of my body, so that looks better, right? Right?

These shoes are the other new item. Story of the shoes: I was killing time with a friend before dinner a few weeks ago, trying on shoes at Payless, and I found two pairs I really liked. But I decided to wait until their BOGO sale to buy them. So BOGO started this week and since I already knew the style and size I wanted, I just went online to order them - and they were sold out of my size! So while I was out this weekend, I just stopped in at the Payless I'd been at before, and they had both pairs I wanted, in my size still! So I got them :o) (You can't tell from this picture, but these are wedges.)

No good pictures today. They were all blurry and my hair looked weird. Oh well.

Shirt - Banana Republic

Cardigan - Merona

I was worried about washing this shirt, with the sequins on it. So after the last time I wore it, I hand-washed it in the sink and hung it to dry. It came out great! Guess I'll be doing that from now on...

I really need a haircut... I've been putting it off because I want to chop enough to donate, while still keeping a reasonable length on my head.

A little blurry today, but it was so cold, I broke out a sweater!

I got these shoes a few months ago at Ross, but haven't worn them yet. I think they need to be broken in a little bit more. And I just realized I didn't take my traditional "new pair of shoes close-up."

10.03.11

My first day back in the office after a week off! The debut of another new shirt I got while I was off last week (which was, for some reason, my first Loft purchase)! Also, it's super cold now!

Shirt - Loft
Cardigan - Old Navy

I foolishly scheduled an appointment after work today. I left early, rushed home, changed into jeans and skimmers, and rushed out of the house... but due to traffic, we were still 15 minutes late. I hate being late.
