My coworkers and I decided to wear jeans to work today. Nobody is in the office on Fridays to see us anyway, plus we were all just locked inside a room all day working.
Sweater - Merona
Camisole - Old Navy
Jeans - Old Navy
Shoes - American Eagle
Earrings - Kathryn Riechert
Going to work in jeans made things easy when I got home - I just dropped my work bag and my husband and I left for dinner.
In other news, eShakti came through the second time around and provided an item for me to review, which I got tonight. I chose the
Embroidered Illusion top because it looked like something Carrie Brownstein wore in an episode of "Portalandia" (of course I cannot find a screenshot of her wearing it). Disappointment #1: the top part isn't lace or even really embroidered, it's like a zig-zag machine stitch. Disappointment #2: the top part is really stiff. Disappointment #3: It had this tie thing on the front with four very long strands that I assume you were supposed to tie into a bow, except they were connected on one side, so maybe not? Either way, it looked bad, so I just used my seam ripper to take the whole tie thing off.
Anyway, I selected the custom sizing option, but I guess because of the fit of it, it's kind of big and bloopy anyway. I'd been hoping to be able to wear it under a jacket maybe, and I'm not sure how I feel about that, what do you think?

Disclaimer: I received this shirt free from eShakti to review, however this did not influence my opinion of the products or service.
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.
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.
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.
