It's a very low-key New Year's Eve this year - dinner out with friends, then watching the countdown from our couch in pajamas. While walking into the restaurant for dinner, this very hip looking girl was sitting outside a tattoo shop, talking on her cell phone. As I passed, she said, "Hey, cool scarf." Woohoo.

Sweater - Merona
Jeans - Old Navy
Scarf - eShakti
Boots - Kirkland

Kirkland boots? As in, Costco brand? Yes. I have heard great things about their Ugg knockoffs, so when I saw the sheepskin boots there, I made plans to get a pair of my own (in gray, my new favorite color, and a color in which I don't have any boots). They are super super comfortable. Extremely warm and soft inside. They're a little taller than my other boots, but on a cold day, I won't mind that a bit.

PS: Still loving my haircut!

Going out to get my big haircut!

Sweater - H&M
Jeans - Old Navy
Shoes - American Eagle

Here's a before and after picture! My friend, who is a hairdresser, did the chopping and then gave me a beautiful cut. And the ponytail is being sent away to make wigs...

I was off work today, but went out to do errands in the morning, and then got dressed up to meet friends at this big buffet for dinner.

Sweater - Merona
Camisole - Old Navy
Jeans - Old Navy
Shoes - Lands' End

These are the shoes I love but they seem to have shrunk, giving me crazy blisters on my heels. I lubed my feet up well with blister stick, and didn't do too much walking (not a lot of trips up to the buffet).

12.22.11

I had a feeling there would be very few people in the office today, and I was right. So I was justified in wearing cords (a couple other people there were in jeans!).

Shirt - Merona
Cardigan - The Limited
Pants - Old Navy
Shoes - zoe&zac
Necklace - Kathryn Riechert
Watch - Fossil

What is up with the crazy look on my face here? I must have been excited that it was my last workday of the year!

12.20.11

Looking a little festive again with my green because my little team (just three of us) went out for a pre-holiday lunch.

Shirt - New York & Company
Cardigan - JKLA California
Slacks - New York & Company
Shoes - American Eagle

I always forget about this shirt, in fact I may not have worn it on this blog before..? (Too lazy to check.) But it's kind of light and has 3/4 sleeves, so I needed to wear something over it today.

12.19.11

Even though there's a lot of stuff happening this week, because people have waited until the end-of-year deadline to finish projects, I'm hoping this is a low-stress week at work. To get in the low-stress mood, I wore corduroy pants. (I was not alone, there were people in jeans!)

Sweater - Old Navy
Camisole - Old Navy
Pants - Old Navy
Shoes - zoe&zac
Necklace - Adorkable Jewelry

I got a lot of compliments from people on this necklace today, but I think they were just buttering me up to do some work for them.

12.16.11

Today was our site holiday party at work. It seemed like everybody wore red! I was festive in my green, instead.

Sweater - H&M
Camosole - Old Navy
Slacks - New York & Company

Necklace - Kathryn Riechert
Watch - Mossimo



I have to explain about my hair. I first straightened it, then thought I'd try to curl it loosely for waves. Then that didn't really work out so I straightened it again. And in the end it just looked like a mess.

12.15.11

Suuuuuper busy day at work today. But I love these colors together (yes I'm counting sparkle shoes as a color).

Shirt - Loft
Cardigan - Merona
Slacks - New York & Company
Shoes - zoe&zac
Earrings - Stella & Dot

I was facilitating a big event at work today, and we were told to wear suits, so I pulled out this jacket that I hadn't worn since the last time I facilitated an event. It turned out that the other people who were doing what I was doing did not wear suits or jackets, but some of the other people in our group were, so I didn't look over-formal.

Shirt - Banana Republic
Jacket - First Option
Slacks - New York & Company
Shoes - American Eagle
Earrings - Stella & Dot
Watch - Fossil

Guess what - from eShakti I chose a jacket to review! So hopefully the next time I have to do one of these events (in January) I'll have a nice custom-fit jacket to wear!

12.11.11

This hoodie cracks me up every time I see it. It's actually from the Boys' department! I saw it while I was out with some friends and said, "Hey, do you think this would fit me?" It's got all these hilarious drawings on it: diving helmets, skulls and crossbones, Sasquatch..!

Shirt - Old Navy
Hoodie - Old Navy
Jeans - Old Navy
Boots - Bearpaws

I need your help! I've been asked to review something from eShakti. (I must be the last blogger to do so.) I need to pick the item I want. I wanted something where I could really test out their custom sizing, but they don't have button-down shirts, and I don't really wear dresses, so do you want to suggest something for me to try?

12.10.11

We're on our way to a Christmas party tonight. It's a couple hours away, and we're making another stop first, so I'm sure by the time I get there I'll be all disheveled, but at least I have proof that I looked nice when I left.

Shirt - Merona
Cardigan - Mossimo
Jeans - Old Navy
Shoes - zoe&zac
Earrings - Stella & Dot

Yes, I wore this sweater to the same party last year. This is my official "holiday party" sweater.

12.08.11

All I had in my head was these shoes, the rest of the outfit fell into place.

Shirt - Merona
Cardigan - Merona
Slacks - Merona
Shoes - Sag Harbor
Necklace - Tibet Arts & Novelties

I got this necklace several years ago when we were on an overnight trip. The store no longer exists, but it had all sorts of traditional items from Tibet. This locket has the Tibetan symbol for "om" on it.

12.05.11

Today I had a video conference, and I learned that polka dots don't transmit so well over video...

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

My hair is getting crazy long, so I decided I'm cutting and donating it in January, no matter what. (Yet it is still not long enough for a decent hair bra...)

12.01.11

I thought this would be a laid back day before my day off. Instead, it was one of the craziest and most stressful workdays I have ever had, after which I came home, turned on my computer, and continued working until nearly 10 PM. I'll be glad for that vacation day!
