Quick post, half day (YAYAYAYAYA!)

Just a quick post today... I abhor these pictures. They don't do this outfit justice!


My outfit:


Jeans: Banana Republic, $30
Striped Top: New York and Co, many years ago 
Jacket: Banana Republic, $20
Shoes: Aldo, $55


Love this little jacket, it's a cotton/linen blend and can be thrown over many things as the weather warms up.

Whew, Wednesday!

Really happy that the week will be on a downhill slope from this point forward! Tomorrow, I'm taking a half-day and I couldn't be happier about that! Friday will be slow, but that's ok. 


My outfit today:


There are very very few items I buy that I wear incessantly. I don't like wearing the same piece over and over but I can't help myself with these cropped pants! These are the pants I was given as a gift for Christmas that I picked out prior to that at the Kenneth Cole outlet. I have probably worn them 6 times since I got them. I love them.


I wanted to be chic today, as I needed to look professional for a meeting, but not as though I was going on a job interview, so as to not tip my hat to the hens.


Pants: Kenneth Cole Outlet, $26
Top: East 5th, JC Penny, $18
Shoes: Ann Marino via SmartBargains, $20


As usual, didn't realize this was blurry until it was TOOOOOOOOO late..... :(

 Details! This blouse has a very 'Mad Men' feel to it. Tucked into a pencil skirt, I could be an extra on the show!

Tuesday 4/10

Getting through another slow workday today...

I didn't lay out an outfit last night, as I was walking J this morning, that dawned on me and the "What do I want to wear" convo began in my head. I decided that I would wear a skirt and flats of some sort.



This skirt I've had for a little while but not worn. I think when I bought it, it was a tad snug. It still is (thanks to my weekend of indulgence) but, obviously, it does fit. :) I'm thinking, though, that it is time to do a slim-down jump start and really back off the carbs for a little while. This belly bloat has got to go!


Back to the skirt... I got it at Marshalls on clearance. It's Max Studio and the Max Studio tag that was on it indicated an original price of $98. I found it marked down to $10 at Marshalls. It's fully lined. I like it and will like it even more when I don't have a Buddha belly.


Skirt: Max Studio via Marshalls, $10
Top: White/Black (old) $16
Sweater: Papaya, $14
Shoes: Enzo Angiolini, $28

Easter Monday... why are we at work?

At work, not much to report.


Enjoyed the weekend with Mom and Dad, hoping to find "inspiration by the end of the week," as Mom said! 


My outfit today:


These are the black pants I went specifically to the Ann Taylor factory store several weeks ago looking for. Only found this one pair on the clearance rank. These pants were made for me! I could throw out all the other pants I own and just get these in every color. Love them.


Pants: Ann Taylor Factory, $20 (Clearance w/ 40% off)
Top: BCBG Max Azria via Marshalls, $24
Shoes: Max Studio Wedges, $35
