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.

Shirt - Merona
Cardigan - Merona
Slacks - New York & Company
Shoes - American Eagle
Necklace - Kathryn Riechert
Watch - Fossil

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...

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 had an actual meeting at work today, like with another live person, in a real conference room. It was amazing.

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
Cardigan - 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!)

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.

Shirt - Merona
Cardigan - Merona
Slacks - New York & Company

Necklace - gift
Watch - Mossimo

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)

Top - Carolyn Taylor
Cardigan - Cherokee
Jeans - Old Navy
Shoes - zoe&zac
Earrings - Claire's
Rings - Avon

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!

I am really enjoying this blue sweater with the gray top!

I've only ever worn this shirt a couple times since I got it. It's a little looser than I like, but wearing a cardi over it kind of holds everything in.

I haven't worn this sweater in forever! I never think to wear it because I feel like I'll be locked into being too warm or too cold, with a 3/4 sleeve sweater I can't remove. But I survived!

This is the first time I have successfully worn this shirt. Still pulls a bit across the front, but it's much less bad than the last time I tried, with my old bra...

Today was the last day of my trip. I just had to go to the office for a couple hours for a presentation, and then spent the rest of the day in the car driving back home. My traveling companions stopped to change for the ride, but really, these pants are more comfortable than jeans! I just snuggled up in the back seat and zoned out for much of the ride.

Today was the day of our huge team meeting. I got to see lots of people I see very rarely, and a lot of new people I hadn't had the chance to meet at all before.

Shirt - Merona
Jacket - Elle
Slacks - New York & Company

Earrings - Stella & Dot
Necklace - Kathryn Riechert

This was the debut of this new jacket, which I actually discovered when Taylor pinned it on Pinterest - of course, she pinned the bright purple version! But I really like the black one, and it's comfy, cute, and fits well.

Today was day 2 of my business trip. No official team meetings today, so I just did my normal work from the local office, which was a fun experience.

After work, it was another late night of dinner and hanging out. Luckily, I had the opportunity to change into jeans this time.

I know I just wore these colors... And I just wore this top last week... But since it was so nice out yesterday, I wanted to wear a bright color today, and then the polka dot shirt was handy. Too bad today didn't turn out to be quite as warm as yesterday.
