Thursday is my Friday!

I had to d-r-a-g myself out of bed this morning. The only thing that got me moving was the fact that I am going home this evening after work. If I had to come to work tomorrow, I might not make it! I'm not sure why I'm beyond tired but I am! I got a good workout in yesterday (even though I REALLY didn't want to do it) and I even made and ate a real dinner (Honey Mustard Turkey Burger and sweet potato fries) which was uber yummy. So other than the weather changing I have no idea why I'm literally dragging arse today. 
Since today is my Friday, I deemed it a casual day at work. That, and the fact that it is Fall Holiday for the students so really I don't think we should even be at work, but I digress. So, I'm wearing jeans. :)
I took pics for continuity's sake. I plan to take several pics over the weekend and will update all on Monday!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!


Today:
Jeans: Arden B
Top: Nike
Shoes: Cole Haan
Watch: MK

Picture Re-do!

After looking at the original outfit pictures, I was convinced these pants could look better! So, I took a few more shots, posed slightly different, and by gosh I think they are better! So, I'm adding them here!

Hump Day!

Well at least today is off to a smoother start than yesterday! Jackson didn't have any ridiculous trauma today and I was only kinda late! I'm not sure why all of a sudden I can't get out of the house on time. I don't know if our walks are taking a little longer or if I'm slower getting ready but I may have to start getting up ten minutes earlier to compensate. We'll see how that works out! ;) 
Today I'm wearing an experimental outfit... I've paired some bright colors, some different pants, and my gorgeous Guiseppe Zanotti pumps together. I was inspired (well, heck, I copied) the pants look from another blog I've started following. Check out my inspiration here. They are from Old Navy and they have pleats (something I've shied away from in the past) and a narrow leg. If I wore them unrolled, they would look ridiculous. But, rolled like this (or tucked into jeans later) I think they are okay. After looking at the pictures, I definitely think that when posed they are adding some bulk to my hip area but over all aren't awful. And yes, I did buy them after I started this blog. But after looking at the other blog and seeing how versaitle they were, I simply started looking online to see if I could even find similar pants... turned out, there were some on the Old Navy site for 7.50..... so I got them in this grey color and a brown color as well. For $15, I don't think I cheated too badly. :) 
The bright tops were just an excuse to wear the pumps and do a matchy-matchy look. I also took pictures with my second choice shoe pairing, some lower-heeled leopard pumps. They are obviously much more practical (height wise) and what I would wear with this if I was doing a lot of walking today. (Which I am not. :) ) 

My outfit today:
Pants: Old Navy $7.50
Top: Banana, $15
Sweater: JC Penny, Clearance, $8.00
Shoes: Guiseppe Zanotti, will not say the price because Dad reads this and I don't want to be disowned :)
Bracelets: Forever 21, $4

 Hello, overexposure!

 With the leopard shoes....

 Love!

Trying not to panic....

So my Tuesday is off to a somewhat stressful start; Jackson had a seed (type-thing) in his eye this morning that I was able to get out of his eye, thankfully, but not before it had irritated the eye and caused the bottom of his eye to swell. He was holding his eye shut even after I got the thing out, and began to open the eye a little before I left, so I'm hoping by the time I get home, everything will be back to normal. If it is even just the slightest bit not normal, I will be taking him to the vet this afternoon. My poor baby dog. 
So I leave the house worried about him (and running a tad late) and Perkins is a mess. Worse than usual. Turns out they are talking about it on the radio and I-10 East had been shut down and they were diverting traffic onto Seigen, which meant the easiest way to continue East was Perkins! People were everywhere, blocking lanes, the intersection at Seigen etc... A nightmare!
So I finally arrived at work and I'm darn near exhausted!! I just hope the day moves by quickly so I can deal with Jax when I get home. :)


Today I'm wearing:


Dress: AB Studio, JC Penny, $24 ( and the best thing? It's big! This used to be very form fitting!! Notice the picture below)
Bracelets: Forever 21 $5
Watch: MK
Earrings: Forever 21, came in a set of 3 for $4
Shoes: Franco Sarto, from TJ Maxx $35 (Amazing soft deep purple leather!)

 I've got about an inch of room on both sides! :)

 LOVE!

Monday, Monday

Well, my Monday is actually off to a good start. Or maybe, I should be more accurate and say it isn't off to a bad start because nothing particularly good or bad has happened! Had a fabulous weekend... so that helps with the start of a new week. Also, looking forward to a 4 day week is not bad either. I will be taking off Friday to take a much needed quick weekend trip home! Yay!

Today I'm wearing:


Dress: Ann Taylor Loft, $10 (super sale!)
Cardigan: St. Johns Bay, JC Penny
Belt: Came with something else
Shoes: my go-to Kenneth Cole wedges
Necklace: Banana Republic Outlet, $19
Watch: MK

LSU vs Florida Weekend

Great weekend! Kerri and Garrett came down for the weekend and we had a great time! (Well, I think they did, unless they were lying about it!) Kidding....


Friday we went to dinner and ended up eating quite late. By the time we finished our food we all were exhausted and looking forward to sleep! Plus, we knew we had an early/long day Saturday, with the 2:30 game, so we called it a night...

I wore:
Cardigan: Charlotte Russe
Top: Banana Republic
Jeans: Arden B
Wrap Bracelet: Charlotte Russe
Booties: Can't remember, but I know they are from TJ Maxx :)
Necklace: Not sure

Saturday was a good time, we enjoyed tailgating (Bourbon balls.... sheesh!) and the game. It was a really good time. 

I wore:
Top: Calvin Klein
Jeans: Kenneth Cole
Shoes: Chinese Laundry

 The belt made it until after the game....

 After the game, we changed.. I threw on this t-shirt and the jeans I'd worn Friday night...

Sunday I went and checked out a new barn I may start taking some lessons at.... not exactly what I want to be doing in terms of the style of riding, but hey, it's riding! Other than that, Jax and I chilled and did a smattering of small chores. All in all, it was quite the successful weekend!
