(un)Fashionable Friday!

Well, I'm in my typical Friday attire. Jeans and an LSU polo.... gotta love uber casual Fridays. So my outfit is nothing to get excited about. This weekend, I'll snap some pics of my outfits for going out/ the game. Thankfully (and thanks to Amy's suggestion) Jax is contributing to the outfit shots for today. 


My outfit:
Jeans: Banana Republic
Boots: Overstock
Top: College of Science (lol)
Jacket: LSU Football


Super creative today, huh?

 Jax's Outfit:
Sweater: Cream & Fall colors, PetCo

One more day...

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
Pants: Worthington, JC Penny, $14
Shirt: Izod Outlet, I'd guess less than $15
Sweater: Harolds, super sale $12
Watch: MK
Shoes: Dollhouse, TJ Maxx, $24
Sunglasses: NY & Co, $10

 It deserves a picture all its own!

Wintery Wednesday

Okay, maybe not wintery but certainly crisp!! It was in the 40s this morning on our walk, Jax needed (at least in my opinion) a sweater and I wore a heavy coat. It should end up being quite a nice day (highs in the 70s) and it is supposed to remain that way through the week and into the weekend. It will be very nice football weather for Saturday!
My outfit today:


Dress: B Wear, JC Penny $9
Sweater: Ny & Co
Shoes: Chinese Laundry (may as well be slippers, lol, so cozy), DSW
Necklace: Can't remember, but it was on sale for about $10
Watch: MK

Tuesday!

If I put an exclamation mark after Tuesday, does it make it better? Worth a shot! I am happy today because I'm wearing an outfit that makes me feel kinda bad-ass, yet preppy at the same time! Interesting juxtaposition, if I say so myself. I decided I wanted to wear these shoes today. They were an end of summer purchase and I had my doubts about them, because they are out of my normal style comfort zone, but now that I'm wearing them, I'm liking them more and more. They are surprisingly comfortable and very versatile. I know they are sandals and its well after Labor Day, but with the laces, they are very on trend for Fall and frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn. :) Maybe I'll stop wearing open toed shoes after the time changes... maybe.... ;) 

Regardless, I wanted to wear these shoes and I wanted them to be a focal point, not covered by pants but I also didn't want to wear them with a skirt the first time out.... that might have been pushing it in my office. So, I opted to go with the preppy-with-an-edge look. This blazer I have had for I would say at least 6 years and sadly, this is the first time I think I've worn it! I'm ashamed to admit that but I just never found the right time/outfit to wear it. It's from Victoria's Secret and it's a nice little blazer. Fully lined, etc... I've rolled the sleeves and pushed them up to try to make the outfit feel a bit more casual. I also wore some (now slouchy, thanks to Turbo-Fire) jeans and rolled them as well so my shoes could be seen. My necklace is long, but I doubled it up so it is more of a choker style. If I don't adjust it every 10 minutes or so, it literally becomes a choker, as you can see in one of the pictures! LOL


Here's hoping my fun outfit will somehow magically make the day go by quicker!

Pants: Jeans, JC Penny 
Blazer: Victoria's Secret
Shirt: Nine West, Dillards Clearance
Shoes: Chinese Laundry, via Amazon
Necklace, Earrings & Bangle: Forever 21

 I'm so happy, oh so happy.....

 See, necklace choking me....

Long time no blog...

Well, not really that long, but after a few days off, it seems like awhile. I had a great trip home. Mom and I got some much needed horse time in and other than a dinner at Grandma's and watching the LSU football game, it was a pretty quiet weekend. Since I did a whole lot of relaxing, there are no outfits that were deserving of a blog picture, but a few shots from the weekend deserve space!

With regard to this week, the elections are this weekend... which means I have renewed hope for the future (Not at all in a political sense, but in a might-get-a-new-job sense!!! LOL) So, I'll be cruising through this week on the hope that maybe soon I'll hear some news on the job front!


Today I'm wearing:


Pants: White Black, Clearance, $19
Top: Kohls Clearance (pulled tag off today) $14.40
Shoes: Jessica Bennett
Watch: Bianci
Bangles: Forever 21, $4.00

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!
