3 in a week

By on July 15, 2011

This skirt is the same skirt pattern that I made on the skirt I wore on Monday and Tuesday this week.  This one I added a kick flounce to the back, though.  Can you tell it is my favorite skirt?  I love it when I find something that is flattering and comfy and EASY for […]

Pretending it’s warm

By on July 14, 2011

Our summer seems to be a bit bi-polar.  Some days it is cool, then other days it is hot and humid.  This was a cool day, but I was trying to pretend it was a warm summer day. Then, I went into my office and turned on my heater. This skirt is a bit hard […]

Consistency

By on July 13, 2011

Well, I am nothing if not consistent with where I buy my clothes.  In putting together these outfit posts, that has definitely shown me that I need to branch out a bit!  Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of time to shop.  I don’t generally like buying online since I can’t tell the fit.  My […]

Jewelry parties

By on July 12, 2011

I don’t know about you, but jewelry parties seem to be the way suburban mom’s get together.  That or a plethora of other parties (Norwax, Pampered Chef, CAbi, etc.).  It seems like I will get invited to a ton of parties all at once, and expensive costume jewelry is not what I generally like to […]

Summer sweaters

By on July 11, 2011

Summertime is hard to dress for office wear.  Outside it is in the 80’s or 90’s and inside they have the A/C blowing on you and it is in the 70’s…if you are lucky.  I have a heater in my office that I use often.  I think I need to have a stash of pashmina shawls […]

Casual day

By on July 10, 2011

I was soooo tired this morning.  It was a long week, and I was so glad to see Friday.  We had some friends over for dinner the night before and I was up late cleaning everything afterwards.  The next morning I just picked out something quick and easy to wear.  Thus, not quite imaginative, but […]

A bit groggy

By on July 9, 2011

We had our rock concert the night before, and like most of them…it was during the week.  This ends up meaning that the night is late and trying to get up and get ready in the morning is hard.  I only switched outfits once before settling on this one.  It had to match the updo.  […]

It’s getting warm out there

By on July 8, 2011

Summer has finally decided to arrive.  It’s in the 80’s and feels wonderful! In the summer I usually wear sleeveless shirts to work.  My office is business casual, and is in the usually more conservatively dressed field of finance.  I used to wear suits to work 5 days a week, and in the summer it […]

A bit brown

By on July 7, 2011

Another long weekend has passed and it seems like we need a few extra days to recover.  We spent some fun times with friends and family, and now it is back to the daily grind.  Our week has been crazy busy, so I didn’t have time to get my pictures off the camera and onto […]
