I'd just gotten back from a business trip and had a busy Friday planned back at the office, so a friend and I were joking about wearing jeans to work. Somehow, though, I managed to look pulled-together!
I left the house twice today: once to go to Home Depot for supplies to fix my wall, and once to go to band practice. It was a beautiful day and night, though!
I need to train myself not to say, "Thanks, it's from Target!" when someone tells me they like what I'm wearing. "Thanks, it's from Tarzhay" isn't much better either, which is what I said today when a co-worker told me she liked my sweater.
It has been really hot and humid for the past couple of days, and I refuse to set up our air conditioners this early in the season. So please excuse my red, sweaty face and frizzy hair. This was actually taken first thing in the morning, before I went to work!
I ended up changing my necklace before I left for work. I didn't think this one looked right with the top, though looking at it now it actually seems fine. Oh well.
Good thing I looked a little more pulled-together today - we had a power outage and then a fire at work! This of course meant that I was outside with several buildings' worth of people for a bit while the smoke cleared, so far more people saw me than usual! Luckily, it was nice out - certainly a good day for a fire alarm!
It was so cold in my office! This sweater is really warm, and I was still freezing. Seems like it's always either freezing or stuffy in there - I wish they could regulate things better.
I don't wear stuff with hoods to work. In fact, I think I've only done it once or twice - I have this white fuzzy hooded sweater that's really cute in the winter. But it was Friday and I was by myself in the office for most of the day, so I went for it.
Happy Earth Day! 
No, I didn't intentionally wear brown in honor of the earth, but it sort of worked out that way. My office was kind of undecided when it came to temperature today - usually it's just freezing in there, but today it was also sometimes warm and humid. So I was occasionally sweater-less during the day.
This was the first time in a long time that I wore this necklace, because I recently found it in a box. I got so many compliments on it! Would you believe that I bought it ten or more years ago at Target?!
I thought this sweater was cute in the store, but when I put it on for work my husband gave me the side-eye. Is it crazy looking? He also said the blue with it was too bright..?! That bright turquoise blue is "my" color!
You know, it's hard to keep coming up with things to say about my outfit every day! This is a new shirt :o)
I don't have much to say about this one, except that it was very warm in the afternoon and I did a lot of running around after work, so that sweater came right off.
So many of us were wearing purple and black at work today! Either in patterns, or purple tops with black pants and sweaters, like I and several others wore. Weird how that often seems to happen...
There was supposed to be a bigwig at work today, and I felt a little under dressed in my very basic outfit. But then we found out that the visit was canceled, so I didn't feel so bad about it after all.
Really bad picture, but... I had to show off my new Skechers Shape-Ups! They're really not that crazy looking, and they didn't hurt my legs or ankles at all; despite the instruction that came with them to only wear them for 25-45 minutes at first, I wore them all day. A friend of mine has a pair that she just wears out and about, not specifically while exercising, and she said she noticed a difference in the way her jeans fit, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to give them a try!
After several unseasonably hot days, it finally cooled off - a lot! I didn't wear a jacket to work, and I was cold walking in and out. Luckily, I stayed inside all day.
Today was probably the last warm day we'll have for a while - thank goodness, it's only April, I'm not ready for all this heat!
Another sunny, warm day put me in the mood for more bright color! I had actually packed this shirt for my overnight trip last weekend, but ended up not wearing it. So since it was out anyway, I decided to wear it rather than put it back in the closet.
I usually crop photos more than this, but I needed to include my little orange cat - he looks so interested in what I'm doing!
I got a lot of mileage out of this sleeveless blue shirt recently! I wore it to a party on Saturday night, Easter dinner on Sunday night, and to work on Monday! (Don't worry, I only wore it for a couple hours on Saturday and Sunday - it was definitely clean enough to wear again.)
Remember when I went to that wedding a few weeks ago and I got a couple dress options from Target? I also picked up this cute polka dot jersey number that was a little too casual for the wedding, but I knew I'd have an opportunity to wear it sometime. So I decided to wear it for brunch on Easter, with a pink sweater to brighten it up.
I did not like this outfit at all. It was a beautiful spring day so I wanted to wear something bright and short-sleeved, but I also needed a sweater to cover up in my cold office, and I really wanted to wear these gray suede shoes. The resulting outfit looks weirdly thrown together. Oh well.
I went out to see a band tonight, and didn't want to be messing with a jacket, so because it was pretty cold out, I wore this very warm sweater. It was just right. And I don't usually wear a cross-body purse, but it was nice to not have to worry about holding a purse on my shoulder when I was bopping around.
I realized the other day that all my cardigans are pretty much black or brown. (Okay, I have a gray one. And a purple one I got last year.) So I went out and bought one in blue and one in pink. I plan to wear the pink one with my black and white dress to Easter brunch!
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!
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...
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)
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!
The temperature is going to be in the 50s all week. I was so excited, I broke out a 3/4 sleeve sweater.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
