08.31.10 + 09.01.10

I just got home from a three-day business trip. I didn't think to take a picture on Day 1, but it was pretty similar to this (different shoes, though). Here's a couple blurry cell phone pics of my other outfits.

This was the second day of my trip, but the first day of my two-day class. We had been told to wear "summer business casual" attire, but there was actually a lot of variety in what people ended up wearing to class, from suits to jeans.

Top - Merona
Slacks - New York & Company
Cardigan - Merona
Shoes - American Eagls
Watch - Xhileration

This is the first time I wore this top. I actually got it off the sale rack at Target last year and never wore it because when I tried it on it seemed like it needed a little adjustment around the arm holes, and I never got around to doing that. But when I tried it on at home recently, it fit totally fine! So I saved it to take on a trip.

I just picked up this purple piece at Ross last weekend. It's not a sweater, but I'm not sure what to call it - it's just a long-sleeved, knit, cardigan-like top with ruffles around the neck. I figured it was a good way to get in on the ruffle trend. And I love the color! This outfit was specifically chosen because I went straight from day two of my class to the several-hour train ride home, so I wanted to be comfy.
