Business-like…with a side of glitter

By on June 24, 2013

I rarely wear suit jackets anymore, but this one is an exception.  It has such a fun print when you roll up the sleeves! The top is the effect of karma.  I have stated in the past that I have given away clothes I received from Zulily that were too small for me.  Well, the […]

Teal and black

By on June 21, 2013

This was a pretty easy outfit to put together with all the matchy-matchy glory. As I was walking to my car in the parking lot of my office, a few ladies were walking into the office.  I barely heard one say, “That’s a cute oufit”.  I know she didn’t intend for me to hear her, […]

Feeling springish

By on June 19, 2013

This outfit was from mid-May and it was still quite cool in our area.  It actually still is cooler than we would like…summer seems to be slow in coming.  We join a CSA (community supported agriculture) each summer and usually by this time we have had our first delivery of fresh organic veggies.  We won’t […]

Another new purse and an outfit to match

By on June 17, 2013

I seem to be on a roll!  Well, if it is a roll that takes a lot of time, that is.  These purses definitely are not for the faint of heart, and they take me a good 6-8 hours to make.  A bit of hand sewing and piece work is required. I love how this […]

Mommy, you look pretty today

By on January 10, 2013

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 […]

Boring office wear…but I was warm

By on January 7, 2013

…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 […]

Looking forward to a short week

By on January 4, 2013

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! […]

Looking *almost* professional

By on January 2, 2013

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, […]

…And that’s all she wrote

By on December 21, 2012

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 […]

All dressed up for…nothing

By on December 19, 2012

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 […]
