Well, one more day until the weekend. Tomorrow, Garrett, Allen and Santino will be coming in for the game Saturday. Which means tonight I need to pick up around the house and make sure I don't have piles of clothes on the beds they will be sleeping in! It is/was another cool morning... which made it really hard to get out of my warm bed this morning!
My outfit today evolved last night as I was pondering what I'd originally laid out to wear, which was a dress and some suede boots. Well, I froze my rear off yesterday in the office since we have no control over the temps and the air blows constantly no matter what we do and they will not turn on the heat. So, I didn't necessarily want to wear another dress today. I decided I wanted a sweater. I also wanted to wear these booties so I went with the brown skinny pants. These are the brown pair of skinny pants I got from Penny's when I also got the black ones, seen here . Anyway, it's so funny because these pants are just a smidge loose on my in the booty/upper thigh area in the back, but I'm not complaining!! :) Also, I'm wearing my new Michael Kors brown watch for the first time today. LOVE!!!
Today:
Denim Trench: Harve Benard, TJ Maxx, $15

It deserves a picture all its own!
This is my chronicle of what I am able to do with just the things I already own. I am attempting to create real world, professional, but fun, outfits using what I already own; basically shopping in my own closet.

The Terrible Twos(-days)....
Hahaha! Get it? Terrible Tuesdays? Not that today is particularly terrible, it's just the day that I think makes the week feel the longest. I usually have catching-up to do of some sort on Mondays, so they seem to move by fairly quickly. Wednesdays signal the downward slope of the rest of the week, Thursday the weekend plans start rounding out, giving me things to look forward to and Fridays are, well, Fridays! Poor Tuesday is just that day kinda crammed in there. Seems like at my job Tuesdays are fairly slow, too. It's almost like no one wants to get anything done on Tuesdays! (Or maybe that's just me....) Not to mention the fact that today is always the hardest for me in terms of getting up in the morning. It's almost like Tuesday is when sleeping in on the weekend finally catches up to me.
Regardless, I did my best to wear something cute to keep me going today... again, I laid this outfit out without trying it on.... had I not been running so late (Jackson's fault... he wanted so bad to play this morning so I had to indulge him a little) I probably would have changed this up a little, but time did not permit so I just went with it. What I'm not sure about.... 1. this skirt is very much an A-line skirt, which I'm thinking does not look quite right with this jacket because when combined with 2. the jacket's peplum hem, I'm thinking the ensemble may not be all that flattering. Regardless, I'm going with it for now and will make a mental note that the next time I wear this jacket, it needs to be with pants. I do really like this Banana Republic shirt that I picked up at the outlet. It's got a really nice sheen to it and I love the color.
Skirt: Random store in Athens, TX $9
Shirt: Banana Factory Store, $12
Jacket: NY & Co, Clearance, $20
Shoes: Max Studio
Necklace & Earrings Set: Love Culture, $10
Bracelets: Loft, Clearance $5
Watch: Croton
It looks like I changed shirts! The Close-up of the necklace shot is more accurate as to the actual color of the shirt.
