That time of year again… I usually take an annual glammed up self portrait around my birthday. A nice picture of me that I can frame up for the hubby and just for posterity’s sake. I usually forget to print them, though. This year I actual have several “self portraits” due to this blog, but [...]

How sweet is that to hear, huh?? I can count on my hubs complementing me on how I look about once a month if I am lucky, but I guess we have been married almost 15 years. The expectations are low at this point. The hair is a spin-off of this style at Hair Romance. [...]

…And in the winter-time, that is important! Everyday when I get to my office, I turn on my (non-fire code compliant) heater underneath my desk. Even in the summer. I like to be warm, and 75-80 degrees feels about right to me. We don’t have our house that warm, though. We keep the temperature around [...]

This was a Monday outfit for a three day workweek. Comfy, professional and not too fussy. Oh, and I straightened my hair on a Monday. This rarely happens. I tend to not take the 15 minutes needed to straighten my hair more than a few times a month. Look at how long it is getting! [...]

This was my last day at work before taking a week and a half off over the holidays. “Off” being relative, as I still had to go in to work on one of the days before year-end. Being an accountant is TONS of fun near year-end and quarter-ends. The 4th of July is at quarter-end, [...]

You know how you have shoes that get limited use, are very uncomfortable, but you still keep? Oh, just me?? These boots fell into that category. I usually wear them once per winter. They are not the best boots, but they match a few things and since they were in my closet…I felt like I [...]

I was supposed to have a lunch meeting this day, so I got all spiffy dressed up. The lunch got cancelled, unfortunately. My outfit was basically black and grey with some stripes thrown in for good measure. The top is really floaty, and very comfy. I also wore really tall, plasticy boots. They make lovely noises when I [...]

Why, oh why, must pretty new shoes hurt the foots?? I really do like the look of these shoes, but I need to figure out how to wear them so they don’t instantly blister my feet. This is the problem of ordering online from a store that won’t let you return anything (Zulily). I wouldn’t [...]

Obviously, not one of those “get real dressed up!” office parties. We used to have them when we had the “fun” guy running the office. They were at night and our spouses were invited. We had one party at an airplane museum, one at a swanky french restaurant, one at another swanky restaurant with a [...]

As I didn’t want to change out my purse, which was currently brown…I needed something brown to wear. Apparently, I really liked the yellow tones, since my pictures are exceedingly yellow. Sorry, I was mass processing pictures, and apparently not paying enough attention when color correcting. Anywhoo… I based this outfit off of the scarf [...]
