I went shopping this weekend for more sleeveless tops that I could wear with sweaters for work in the summer. This one was questionable, but I can't turn down a gray shirt, so I got it. It's fine with a sweater over it, but it has these weird puffy not-quite-sleeves that are not really flattering.

It was a super busy day at work. And because of the mid-week holiday, a lot of people were out of the office. So I barely saw anyone all day.

It briefly cooled down this afternoon - I stopped at the supermarket on my way home and was able to keep my sweater on outside! But I did take it off when I left there to drive home.

What happened to the nice weather?! It got crazy hot again! I just could not fathom not wearing sandals.

The weather today was gorgeous! I didn't really have any evening plans, so when I was invited to a party this evening, I took the opportunity, even though it was like an hour away. It was beautiful weather for driving!

Another Monday... I apparently got to work right before a huge rainstorm, and by the time I left it was sunny and much cooler. I even wore my sweater for most of the day. Yay!

I didn't have any real plans this weekend, but this turned out to be a busy day! I had an acupuncture appointment, then went out for lunch and errands, and later met up with a friend to go shoe shopping! (We were shopping for her, but yes, I got a pair for me too :o] )

Shirt - Converse One Star
Capris - Old Navy
Flip-Flops - Tommy Hilfiger


These are those capris I mentioned a while ago that I must have gotten last year and never wore. I think this might have been the first time I wore them out!

06.22.12

I had to give a huge presentation to over 100 people today at work. And then I overslept! By like an hour! Luckily, my presentation was online, I just sat in a room with one other coworker. So I washed up, didn't really have time to do my hair, and got to work in time anyway.

And of course, because of the heat, I didn't wear this sweater at all once I got to the office.

PS: My presentation went great!

I thought with temperatures reaching 100 degrees today, I wouldn't even need to wear this cardi. But actually it was pretty chilly in my office. I didn't take it out to lunch with me, and I wish I'd had it at the restaurant, too. But outside? No way.

The temperature dropped quite a bit over the weekend, though I think it's supposed to get hot again this week. Oh well, I will enjoy this in-between time by wearing my cut-out shoes!

Didn't I tell you I was going to wear these sandals all summer?

I was comfy all morning, but then we went out for lunch and sat in the sun eating frozen yogurt, so I warmed up for the afternoon.

As much as I didn't wear my sweater yesterday, I wore it all day today! Especially this afternoon, when I was in a very cold conference room for a couple of hours...

06.11.12

My first day back at work after a week off! I hadn't worn this top for a while. Usually I would pair it with a black sweater, but this time I tried a coordinating blue cardi. Of course, it was so warm that I did not actually put the thing back on after taking this picture.

I have the feeling that I'm going to be wearing these Bass Sunjuns a lot this summer...

I don't usually go to the office on Fridays, but I was so busy today, I had to. I think I was one of maybe three people on my whole floor. So it was ok to be a little casual.

I just got these capris last weekend. They are a size larger than I usually wear, but they fit great. Then I found a pair of brand new Old Navy capris in my closet that I must have bought last summer, whoops. They are my regular size, and also fit great. Way to be consistent, ON.

How is May over already? It's been super warm and I'm super busy rushing to get things done for the end of the month, so short sleeves were the order of the day. I took a sweater to work just in case, but didn't even need it.

Oh yeah, I got my eyebrows done last weekend. They were getting pretty scary, huh?!

With the holiday on Monday, this week's already feeling messed up.

Over the holiday weekend, it was pretty humid and I wore my hair wavy and it turned out kind of cute. Somehow I didn't have the same luck when I went back to work...

05.24.12

I fussed over what sweater to wear to work today, and in the end I never even put it on (except to take this picture). Very humid day.

I had a big meeting at work today (which turned out to be a small, kind of lame meeting), so I sort of stressed over what to wear, and went through a few different options. In the end, I went with this tank I got a while ago but hadn't worn yet. I usually don't wear straight up tank tops under cardigans, but I thought this would be ok - instead, I spent most of the day adjusting my sweater and the edges of my shirt so my bra straps didn't show :o(

Yes, this is that sweater with the oddly-placed embellishment again.

It's getting hot out, now. Expect lots of sleeveless shirts with cardigans over...

I sort of forgot to wear a watch or any jewelry again today. Somehow I survived, haha...

I wanted to wear this bright sweater again... I forgot until later, though, that it gets blue lint all over everything.

I was unimaginative - I remembered the last time I wore this combo and thought I'd do it again.

I didn't wear a watch today. I forgot to put it on before I took my picture, and then I thought, "Eh, I almost never look at my watch at work anyway, I'll just skip it." It was weird, all day I had these moments of panic that my watch had fallen off, and then I remembered I wasn't wearing one to begin with...

Warm day, short sweater.

I decided to embrace the humidity and wear my hair wavy. It worked out pretty well.

05.10.12

I felt kind of weird about wearing all these dark colors today, since it's sunny and springtime, but I guess some other people had the same idea as me, because I saw quite a few other people at work in navy and gray.

Well, I did wear these shoes with the cut-outs, which I only wear in warmer weather...

I was in the office all morning, met a former coworker for lunch, called in to meetings all afternoon from home, then went out to meet someone else after work. It was a busy day! And it was raining.

I assume it was because of the humidity, but one chunk of my hair got weirdly curly at the ends today. (You can see it's already starting in this picture - on my right side.)

This may have been the first time I've worn this shirt to my own office - I only ever remember wearing it when traveling for work!

Last day of my meeting. It was such a good week! After work, we all went to my coworker's house to hang out for the evening (except our boss - probably a good thing).

First day of a three-day meeting with my team at work. There are five of us from four different locations, including my boss. Also needed an outfit where I could change into jeans and go to dinner!

Today was "Take Our Children To Work Day," which implies that we all have children. Instead, I took this new cardigan to work, which is embellished with a flower type thing on the shoulder.

I actually didn't realize the placement of this flower when I picked it up from the rack at Target. And I didn't bother trying it on, since I figured it was just like the other Merona cardigans I have a million of, but with some embellishment. Well, it is a little thinner material, and maybe a little tighter, and the flower is weirdly placed up high on the shoulder, rather than more on the front/lapel area. Oh well, I got two because they were on sale...

Here's another shirt I kept meaning to wear, but it was getting pushed aside in favor of other things. I almost wore it on Easter.

You may not have noticed this, but my standard uniform is usually neutral shirt with a bright cardigan, or bright shirt with a neutral cardigan, and always neutral pants. Just though I should point that out in case you missed the general theme.

I realized I hadn't worn this top in a while, so put this outfit together last night. Saved some time this morning.

Shirt - Merona

Slacks - Banana Republic
Shoes - American Eagle
Rings - Avon
Watch - Fossil

This Fossil watch is currently my only working watch. But I get such cheap watches (from Target, or on sale at NY&Co), it's barely worth the expense of replacing the battery. What do you think - repair, or replace? I currently have about 4 dead watches that cost less than $20, and it's $15-20 for a new battery.

I've almost worn this shirt several times recently. I tried to plan outfits, I brought it with me on my last business trip, but I always ended up wearing something else. Today was the day!

What is that, you noticed I'm wearing pants from somewhere other than New York & Company for once? Yes! I bought these a couple weeks ago but held off wearing them because if they turned out to be uncomfortable to sit in all day, I didn't want to be stuck somewhere with them (like on a business trip). Turns out, they are extremely comfortable! (And I have a gray pair, too!)

04.12.12

I had an all-day meeting at work today. I was supposed to be in a conference room with the other attendees from my site, but then we all ended up sitting in different places, so nobody saw my nice outfit but me.

I especially like that my swirly pendant matched my swirly sweater design.

I discovered later in the afternoon that my watch battery had died, but that didn't stop me from checking it all the time.

Who's on another business trip? Oh it's me! It was a quick one this time. This was my only morning at the hotel, so the only hotel pictures you will get.

My friend asked of my necklace, "Is that a mockingjay?" No it is not, and also I have not seen/read Hunger Games, but somehow I knew what she was asking.

This year my family tried a new place for Easter Brunch. It was less formal than the place we usually go, so jeans were acceptable! Plus, it was cheaper, and I think the food was way better :o)

I went through a lot of outfits this morning. My husband said every time he looked up, I was wearing something different (he was right)! I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to wear something bright and springy :o)

It was a beautiful day, if a bit chilly. I went out for lunch with a couple old coworkers. No jacket needed!

I get compliments on this sweater thing every time I wear it - I love the color! But, for the first time ever, I did not get any comments on the leaf earrings!

I took two pictures this morning. The first one just did not look like me. So I took this second one, which turned out blurry. Too bad.

I took the afternoon off work today to run some errands and come home a little early. It was a beautiful day to be out and about!
