As usually happens on rainy days, I ended up wearing black and gray. I also got to go out for lunch!

Not only was it Friday, it was my first day back in the office since Monday, and it was totally gorgeous outside!

I'm thinking the pointy grown-up shoes counteracted the girly pink butterfly top, yes?

Today I was preparing to go away on a two-day business trip, so I was a little busy, trying to get things done before I left.

It's suddenly warmer, and I don't know what to wear anymore! Back to my usual uniform of short-sleeved shirt and cardigan...

Remember when I said I got new cute shoes from Payless but I hadn't taken a close-up? Here's that close-up!

This week is my 5-year anniversary at my company, and my boss was in town (she is based in another state), so we got the department together and had some cake. I felt weird about it because we don't usually have celebrations for people for anniversaries, and 5 years isn't that long, but I'm pretty sure she just wanted an excuse to have a cake break :o)

The necklace is from a Tibetan shop that used to be in New Hope, PA - it's a little locket that has the Tibetan symbol for "Om" on it. I always get comments when I wear it!

I've found that this wrap top fits much better if I wear a tank underneath.

I wore a sweater for much of the day, but I did take it off in the afternoon - it was actually warm in the office!

03.08.10

The temperature is going to be in the 50s all week. I was so excited, I broke out a 3/4 sleeve sweater.

Yes, another new shoe debut today! Sorry, I don't have close-ups yet. They are adorable. I wanted some new black flats for work - these are very comfortable, and have a cute ribbon detail. Yay, Payless!

03.07.10

This wasn't really a photo-worthy outfit, I just wanted to document the fact that I got a trim between haircuts! I usually get my hair chopped once a year and spend the rest of the year growing it out, but this time I decided to get a little touch-up after a couple months. It'll still be long enough by the summer to pull it up off my neck.

Also, after not going for several months, I decided to forgive my eyebrow threading lady for being such a jerk and go back to get my brows done. Turns out, she's gone back to India. The new girl who replaced her was very nice, though :o)

If you follow me on Flickr or Twitter, you know that I was torn between two dresses to wear to a wedding today. Though I thought I'd be more comfortable in the other option, probably 90% of the internet preferred this dress, so that's what I went with. I didn't need to worry - this one was also very comfortable! (I'm keeping that second dress, though - it'll be great to wear to another event.)

Outfit for a very long day... I worked a full day, then went to a doctor's appointment, and then rushed to a wedding rehearsal followed by the rehearsal dinner. I got home 16 hours after I left! Luckily, these new gray suede flats (yes, another Payless pair!) were very comfortable!

(Yes, I know the shirt looks a little see-through, but trust me, it's not - that was just due to the camera flash!)

I might have just bought a whole bunch of shoes at Payless... whoops. But they have so many cute styles right now! And at Payless prices, you can buy a couple pairs at once. Expect several New Shoe Debuts coming up soon. Today is the first.

For some reason, I was getting a lot of compliments on my hair today. It was just kind of hanging in my face. Maybe I should let it hang in my face more often!

Shoe shots! You've probably noticed I don't wear heels, but these low wedges were great. I had to do a lot of walking today, and they were very comfy!


Even the soles are cute!

02.27.10

Hey, so where have I been? Well, I was snowed in for a bunch of days the past couple weeks, and on the days that I did get out of the house, I just wore boring sweaters and stuff, so didn't bother with taking a picture. Sorry if you missed me!

A couple friends came out to visit me for a day of shopping. Since it wasn't bone-chillingly cold, and we were just running in and out of stores, I wore a big sweater so I didn't have to mess with a coat.

It was a long day at work. Possibly one of the hardest and busiest days I've had in a long time. But at least I wore cords and comfortable shoes.

I cleaned up my closet over the weekend, and decided that I would have to wear these sweaters more often, or get rid of them. So I'm wearing one. I think it looks nice with the brown pants. And those shoes went perfectly with the outfit - they have a little tan, green, and navy blue.

I took my picture when I came home from work, instead of before I left, so the sun was up and I didn't need a flash, and I was able to get the shot in the mirror.

I went to a friend's house to watch the Superbowl. It was cold and snowy and I wanted to wear something cozy, so I was all set to wear this first outfit.

Jeans - Old Navy
Boots - Xhileration

But then I decided that I wasn't going to be comfortable sitting around in those skinny jeans all night, so I changed at the last minute. The black boots are shorter, so I can wear them under roomier jeans, instead of over tight ones.

It was Friday, and a potential snow day (though the snow didn't end up starting until later in the evening), so I wore corduroy pants to work. I discovered that they look a lot better if I pair them with flats than my chunky-heel loafers. I guess I just always feel the need to go with the loafers to "dress them up" a bit, but the flats look nice too!

I was in a big rush this morning, no time to get a better picture! It was a pretty boring outfit anyway, though the sweater was new.

It was cold and I wanted to wear boots to band practice, so my new skinny jeans made their public debut. I think they were okay. At least I was sitting most of the time, so people weren't subjected to the tightness.

I've worn this outfit before, so I usually try not to re-post duplicates, but I had to show off my nice new lipstick today! I found it in the clearance bin at Target - a set of four for $.75! Check your Target endcaps, mine had all kinds of goodies this weekend!

It is suddenly freezing cold! I just wanted to wear the warmest, most snuggly clothes I could get. This sweater was an obvious choice. And the shoes, I love, they are suede and feel like you're wearing bedroom slippers.

You can't see them well unless you zoom in, but today's jewelry is a totally awesome pair of earrings from, you guessed it, Etsy!

I decided to try to wear more jewelry this week. Today's was a bold necklace I got from an Etsy seller who is unfortunately long gone.

I keep forgetting that I have these pants! Weird thing about them is that they are super staticky. So I can only wear certain socks with them so they're not sticking to my legs all day. Maybe you can't really tell in the picture, but they're gray with blue pinstripes.

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!




Tonight I went out and got a haircut - finally! You'll see a better picture tomorrow, and it will look better after I've styled it (and with no mousse - I don't know why the hairdresser gave me mousse after cutting it).

01.15.10

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.

I recently got these shoes because I wanted something a little dressier than my Privos, but still casual (and something I could wear socks with). I'm very happy with these Mossimo Oceana shoes, they're cute and very comfortable! Target.com says they're only available online, but actually one of my local stores had a huge supply, that's where I got these.

01.07.10

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.
