Didn't have anything planned to do today, so I went to visit my husband while he worked on a mural he's painting. It's been warmer recently, so I didn't wear a jacket - this sweater and long-sleeved shirt were plenty warm enough.
I love this sweatshirt, just because it's so warm I can go out on cold days without a jacket!
I've had this lacy little camisole for years, but for some reason I've never really worn it. I don't know why not, look how cute it is peeking out from under my sweater!
It was my first day at work after getting a haircut and... nobody noticed! It was great! I guess this wasn't as dramatic as my usual "annual haircut."
I had a very nice four-day weekend, but it was back to work today.
This morning I showed my husband a different shoe on each foot and asked which I should wear. "I don't know, they both go with your outfit," he said. I know that, that's why I wanted him to just choose one!
Kind of a bad picture, but I just wanted to snap a quick shot on my way out of the house to run a couple errands. Yes, the outfit is boring, but I get to show off my new boots! I ordered them weeks ago, but there was a shipping delay (maybe the snow in the midwest), so when they arrived this week, the weather was already getting warmer. Oh well, there's still lots more winter ahead of us.
Uh, sorry about my hair in this pic. I don't know what happened between the bathroom and here, it looked cute after I did it, but something is not right.
I tried this sweater on before I bought it and thought it fit fine, but when I put it on this morning it was so... long. Even the sleeves were long. Oh well, it was still very soft and warm to wear to work.
Going out to a friend's graduation party. It was supposed to involve watching football and playing poker, so I figured it was a casual event, but actually it was a little more formal than I'd expected. Oh well, there was a wide variety of clothing worn, and I didn't look out of place.
Worked all day, then came home, changed into jeans, and went to a movie screening. Luckily, a black sweater can go anywhere.
You'll have to take my word on the shoes, or check in the smaller photo.
I got this sweater a few years ago, after seeing it at Target a few times (they had it right along the aisle, so I saw it every time I went and walked past). I thought it looked kind of different. But it's so warm, I didn't wear it that often because I'd end up feeling overheated by the end of the day. And then recently it occurred to me: I could just wear it with a lightweight, short-sleeved shirt, instead of a long-sleeved shirt! So I did that today and it worked out great!
First day back to work after a long holiday break. It's been bitter cold and windy, so a big cozy sweater was in order.
I am ringing in 2010 at a pajama party hosted by friends. But I will be wearing this outfit until it's time to get changed.
Merry Christmas! I hope you got everything you wanted, but even if you didn't, just remember that it's not about the gifts you get, it's about spending time with loved ones and wearing red sweaters.
I worked at home today, but I did go out for lunch, so I had to get dressed, haha. I picked up this sweatshirt at Target a while ago. Not my usual style, but I liked the color and thought it was kind of unique. It is super soft and so warm! Even though it was a few degrees below freezing, I just wore a scarf and gloves out and was fine without a coat!
Today was my last day in the office until January, so I figured I could get away with wearing jeans. Most people had the same idea. These shoes are adorable, but I rarely have an opportunity to wear them, so I was happy to have a chance to show them off at work, too.
It's a very quiet week at work because most people are already on vacation, and I'm only in the office two days. So it's a good chance to be a little more casual.
After being snowed in for two days, I was excited to get out on the thawing streets and go to the mall. I did a little bit of Christmas shopping, but mostly it was just nice to get out of the house!
Monday morning + not wanting to go to work = super snuggly sweater and extra comfy shoes
We went to a Christmas party... two hours away! It was worth the four hours of driving, though, we had a lot of fun.
I've been really happy with my hair lately. It's about time for my annual hair chopping, but I feel like putting it off or getting a less dramatic haircut to enjoy the length some more.
It was freezing today! I actually changed my mind about my shoes at the last minute, so ended up not wearing socks, but at least I had a super warm sweater.
Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch? Today the cafeteria at work provided a free holiday meal to everyone. I forgot until I got to work, so I packed a lunch anyway, which I will just have to save for a couple days.
Boring outfit to start a boring work week... Sigh.
Slow Friday at work...
I rarely wear this pink t-shirt because you can see through it a little bit. But I figured I could get away with it since it would be mostly covered by my sweater today. And that sweater is so warm (a good thing!) that you need to wear something light under it anyway.
My cube neighbor and I were both rocking the gray sweater/black pants look. Luckily, I included a touch of blue to differentiate myself.
After a week away from the office (vacation plus the Thanksgiving holiday), I returned to work with a cold. So a snuggly sweater was in order!
Oh hey, yet another H&M sweater I hadn't cut the tags off yet. As you can no doubt tell, I love these v-neck sweaters. I got a bunch last year and then a bunch more this year. Yes, I am a "duplicate buyer."
I didn't realize I hadn't worn this sweater yet! So of course when I found it in my closet with the tags still on, I had to break it out!
Hmm, looks like that sweater could stand to be a tiny bit longer. Oh well, it's still snuggly and soft.
I thought I was having an especially good hair day, so I took a picture. Warning: don't zoom in. Even on a "good hair day" I still get the frizzies.
Another Monday morning... luckily I picked out my clothes the night before, for once.
Lots of brown... with a little bit of purple in the shoes! This is the first appearance of these brown corduroy pants, they're great, and it's nice to wear something a little different and casual to work.
Happy Thursday!
Some secret message must have gone out this morning because a whole bunch of us wore purple sweaters at work today. Weird how that always seems to happen.
I love this sweater, it's so soft and warm, which is why I'm very sad that it's pilling horribly. Does anyone have any foolproof methods for removing pills from knits?
