Today was my first day of holiday vacation; I celebrated by running errands (including getting my eyebrows done!)

Festive Holiday Week Day 4! Today was my last workday until 2013, and I got to go out to lunch with some friends! I then came home and promptly crashed... I'll need to recuperate before Christmas!

Festive Holiday Week Day 3! Today was our site holiday party at work, and my band holiday party after our concert in the evening. So apparently this sweater is the only thing I've worn to any holiday parties all year.

Festive Holiday Week Day 2! Today I went out after work with a couple random coworkers for a holiday happy hour!

Going to a Christmas party! I've had these sparkly shoes for a while and this was the perfect time to break them out! I had to explain to my husband that I wasn't wearing much jewelry because my shoes were my jewelry :o)

Don't look at my hair, it's totally messed up and staticky here.

Yes, this is very similar to the outfit I wore last week. I like this sweater.

It was warm today, but rainy. These were not the shoes I would have originally worn, but the other ones are not good in the wet weather.

I was so happy with this outfit! I bought this sweater online on Cyber Monday, and it's a little more fitted than I expected, but I think it's ok, and I love the ballet neckline!

Shoes - Sag Harbor

I have another one of these sweaters in a dark red I'm planning to wear to a holiday party soon!

12.04.12

I would think of this as more of a spring or fall outfit - a sleeveless top under a light jersey cardigan. Thanks, global warming!

Remember my plan to wear more scarves? Maybe it was a little premature. It was like 60 degrees today and I was warm.

It's been so cold, I already had plans to wear this scarf to work today. So for once, I didn't spend forever standing in front of my closet in the morning!

It snowed today. When I left for work, it was just raining, so I didn't wear the boots I'd been considering. When I left at lunchtime, I had to clear at least 3-4" of snow off my car! I wouldn't have even gone to the office except we had a visitor, so my whole department was there and we were all mad we'd driven in!

The visitor was my old boss who I hadn't seen for two years. The first thing she said when she saw me: "You look exactly the same, and you look like you're 18!"

11.26.12

First day back after a nice long Thanksgiving weekend... I'm coming to the realization that even though I have a shelf full of sweaters in my closet, I really only like a couple of them. May need to edit and replace...

Sweater - H&M
Camisole - Worthington

I say it every time, but I'm in love with these shoes from Target - they feel like wearing slippers!

Last day in the office for a while, woohoo!

I am obsessed with gray. I need way more gray shirts. Not sure if this one should remain in my wardrobe, though - sometimes it looks ok, and sometimes it looks like it's just not fitting at all. Probably depends on what bra I'm wearing, haha!

Sorry for the bad picture. I only took two, so the choices for today were blurry or head cut off :o)

Meeting day 2 - yeah this looks more like a summer outfit. I've worn this shirt in two other colors, but was saving my favorite for an event like this.

Shirt - Loft
Cardigan - Merona
Slacks - Banana Republic
Shoes - Merona
Earrings - Stella & Dot

These shoes are so comfortable - they're like wearing slippers!

11.13.12

Today was the first day of my big 2-day meeting at work. I realized that I don't really have any winter clothes that I would consider wearing to something like this! So, I wore what I would consider more of a spring/fall outfit.

Shirt - Merona
Cardigan - Merona
Slacks - Banana Republic
Shoes - zoe&zac
Necklace - Kathryn Riechert
Earrings - Kathryn Riechert

This is also the debut of these pants. I actually got them last year and was waiting for some big event to wear them to, and this was the first opportunity!

11.12.12

Every time I think of adding this sweater to the "donate" pile, something happens that makes me reconsider. Today, the guy who sits in the office near my commented that this color looks good on me. I've never heard him compliment anyone's clothes ever, so I assume he was being honest. What do you think?

Sweater - Bass
Slacks - New York & Company
Shoes - Lela Rose

I really just wear this sweater as an excuse to wear these shoes, because there's little flecks in the bouclé that match the color perfectly!

11.08.12

I didn't go to work today, but I am going to a party tonight, so I broke out my new boots!

Jeans - Old Navy

Happy Election Day! I worked all day, then went to the polls with my husband when we got home. There was a long wait, but not horrible, so I think we made the right decision.

I did something today I haven't done for six months (I checked!). Do you know what it is? I wore brown - and tan!

11.05.12

I am so happy with this outfit. I love the color of the sweater, and the shirt seems kind of retro to me. Good thing I wasn't dressed any worse, the head of our department happened to be in town and I kept running into her all morning!

The first of the month is always a busy day for me, and today was no exception. It's finally cool enough that I can comfortably wear a long-sleeved sweater all day!

Remember when I said I liked that new polka-dot shirt better than my other one? This is the other one. See? Too many dots.

10.23.12

I need to stop wearing this top. Apparently I spilled something on myself once, and I've never been able to wash it off... which I forget until I wear it again and notice the spots. They're not that noticeable, I guess, but they bother me.

10.22.12

Hey remember that eShakti top I got almost a year ago? I finally wore it. I have to say, while it does fit nicely, the whole thing feels kind of big. Maybe because of all the fabric in the collar and center knot? I felt like it could have been a maternity top.

10.18.12

There's limited times of the year that I can wear a 3/4 sleeve sweater, without being too warm or too cold. Today was perfect!

10.16.12

I went through several different options before putting this outfit together, and I still wasn't happy with it. I actually had a couple in-person meetings today, including lunch with a coworker from another site who I don't get to see very often.

Shirt - Merona
Cardigan - Merona

Really I just wanted to wear these shoes...

10.15.12

Hmm, I love pairing this gray sweater with blue shirts, huh?

10.11.12

It's always such a momentous occasion when this happens, but I had an actual meeting at work today with another person in a conference room. And then I left the office early so I could get home and take a cat to the vet for a check-up...

Polka dots make another appearance! This time with a different shade of blue.

I'd been wearing this black flyaway cardigan all weekend, so since it was out I wore it to work :o)

10.04.12

This polka-dot shirt is another result of my recent impulse-buying at Target. I have a very similar one that I got last year, but the dots on this one are a little more spaced out. I think I like this one better.

Our department had a meeting today at work, and I was twins with two of my coworkers who also wore navy and black (one of them had also curled her hair, too!).

This was pretty much my uniform all weekend.

Shirt - Merona
Cardigan - Isabella Rodriguez
Jeans - Old Navy
Shoes - American Eagle
Purse - Thirty-One

When I first saw the pattern on this bag, I didn't really think it was my style. But now I love it! I've got a matching wallet, too, though I don't think I would carry them together.

09.27.12

I'm glad the weather is cooler, because now I can wear these tops. They're a little thin, so I like to wear a camisole underneath, but in the summer it's a little too warm for that.

I stopped at Target on my way home from work yesterday to pick up something totally different, but accidentally ended up with this shirt and these shoes. Whoops!

Shirt - Merona

For the last day of our big meeting, I decided to wear my hair a little wavy. It looked better after it had some time to settle in a bit. These shoes are so comfortable, by the way

09.25.12

Day 2 of my three-day meeting. I'd been saving this shirt to wear at a work event like this, so even though our meeting was virtual and there were actually only a couple other people in the room with me, I went ahead and wore it :o)

Shirt - Loft

Today was day one of a big three day meeting at work. The conference room we were in was freezing!

I still have mixed feelings about this sweater (and its teal sister). I like the embellishment, but the flower is so high up on my shoulder. It's more like a parrot on my shoulder than a corsage on my lapel...

09.20.12

Have I ever paired this necklace with this sweater before? I don't think I have, and I don't know why not - I love them together!

I was not supposed to be at work today. I was running a huge global presentation and my team and I planned to all work from home. But I accidentally left my computer at work last night! So I had to go to the office after all :o(

I spent the day at work, then killed a couple hours, then was out at an event all night. So I just changed into jeans and flats after work, and I was ready to go!

Had to present at two meetings today - one with actually a lot of people in the same room as me for once, and one over the phone.
