We had a big all-company event today. People who aren't usually in the office were all there, and everyone was dressed neatly.

Yet another new top today... You can't really see it, but there are some sparkly little jewels around the neckline.

Got two of these sweaters (of course). I like that there's a little something different with the detail around the edge. But I didn't realize in the dressing room how weirdly short they were...

I gave a presentation to my department today, in case you were wondering.

Another new sweater from my holiday weekend shopping trip. So much stuff at NY&Co was $10 a piece! And I like that this has a little extra detail at the top.

Camisole - Old Navy

Earrings - Charming Charlie
Weird that I bought these earrings at Charming Charlie because I wanted the necklace they were packaged with, but I think I might like the earrings more now!

I surprised myself by finding a couple things I liked at H&M! This sweater is a new favorite.

I curled my hair! And it looked nice!

At our site holiday party they made an announcement that we could start wearing jeans to work on Fridays. This didn't really affect me, since I don't usually go to the office on Fridays, but we were there this week, so jeans it was! (Actually, since we were just sitting together in a room all day anyway, we probably would have worn jeans anyway...)

I got this necklace and earring set last night while we were out at dinner. I actually just got it for the necklace, but the matching earrings are nice, too. And I used my Premier "Clip It" to double it up in the front!

Today was the last time we had to appear in public, and taking a cue from yesterday, I did not wear a jacket.

Shirt - New York & Company
Cardigan - Merona
Slacks - Banana Republic
Shoes - American Eagle
Necklace & Earrings - Kathryn Riechert

I like that this top has some embellishment and is a little something different, but it's really good at catching crumbs...

We had another big session to facilitate for most of the day today, which I thought meant "wear suits" again, but apparently I was the only one who thought that. Grr, I hate jackets. Also, this jacket has shoulder pads, which I keep wanting to cut out, but I'm afraid because the shoulders are a little puffy and what if thy end up looking deflated?

Jacket - First Option

I did bring a sweater to wear after the day's events were over, and out to dinner...

No activities where we appear in public today = everyone wears sweaters! Except I apparently missed the memo about wearing brown and tan, like everyone else did.

Today was the first day of our super busy week of work events, and the entire morning was spent facilitating a forum for senior leaders, which means suits were required, which means I don't wear suits so I pulled out a peplum jacket and called it a day.

This is actually the first time I've worn this jacket at home - the only other time I've worn it so far was on a business trip!

I was looking at blog posts from last year before I got dressed this morning, and went, "Oh yeah, I have those corduroy pants I can wear to work!" Was a perfect outfit for going out to lunch with friends on a chilly day.

Sweater - Merona
Camisole - Worthington
Pants - Old Navy

Ring - Premier Designs

This ring was the other thing I got myself at that Premier party in December!

Another warm day, another jersey cardigan. This time I wised up and wore it with a sleeveless top.

I wore this jersey cardigan today because... I realized I hadn't worn it in a while. I will probably not pair it with the 3/4 sleeve double-layer Merona top again, though, it was just too warm.

Shirt - Merona
Cardigan - CDR
Slacks - New York & Company

Necklace - Premier Designs

I got this necklace at a party in December and wore it to pretty much every holiday function after that, so expect it to turn up a lot...

01.03.13

It was another cold day, so I went with a scarf. This one doesn't have the volume of most of my other scarves, which is good and bad - you can do a lot of twisty/knotty things with it, but it never really looks "full."

For my first day of work in 2013, and my first day in the office in a week and a half, I dressed for the weather in a snuggly sweater. This is one of those sweaters I often consider putting on the "donate" pile, but then I wear it again and remember how soft and nice it is. And it fits ok.

Sweater - Bass
Slacks - New York & Company
Shoes - Sag Harbor

By the way, notice anything different? Yes, I got my annual haircut last week! Not as extreme a haircut as I usually get, because I'm hoping to have enough to donate by the end of the summer.
