Royal Blue

Top, Belt, Skirt: Target

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Bracelet: Avon

Shoes: BCBG

I'm ashamed to admit this beautiful skirt has been sitting in my closet since January. Yes, January. It took some time for me to get comfortable dressing up in a casual work environment, let alone trying to style a bright blue tight skirt.  I'm making progress.   It won't sit that long EVER again. Promise.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. My motivation is lacking after such a long weekend.  I should be back in my groove by tomorrow.



Something Old & Blue

Dress: Kohl's - Lauren Conrad

Belt: TJ Maxx

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Shoes: Shoe Dazzle

Oh I love the color of this dress! So much fun! I pulled this little number from the back of my closet to wear for my best friend Jayme's birthday.  I think I stood in my closet for a good hour trying on different dresses before I decided on this one.   I picked it up at Kohl's a couple of years ago for Jayme's birthday and paired it with black shoes and silver jewlery. Just add different accessories and you have a whole new outfit!  Boom. While these shoes aren't the best for my dangerously good dance moves, they were the perfect touch for this outfit.

Turquoise & Navy - DAY 2

Top: Target

Blazer: H&M

Cropped Pants: Kohl's- Lauren Conrad

Shoes: DSW - Jessica Simpson

Bracelete: Francesca's

See, I told you.  Completely obsessed! You just can't go wrong with navy and turquoise.  It took a lot of pep talking to wear this outfit to work.  You see, I'm still new so I try not to stand out too much. I thought I'd wait for everyone to actually know my name before referring to me as the girl that dresses tacky.  No but seriously, I love this outfit.  .

I'm picking up my wedding dress today! EEEEE!  I'm so nervous. I'm so scared I'm not going to love it as much as I did when I picked it out.  It's been WAY too long since I've seen it.  I'll have an update tomorrow.

Have a good night!

Obsession: Turquoise & Navy

Top: Francesca's

Pants: Target

Shoes: Payless

Clutch: DSW

I'm back!  I know, I was gone much longer than I told you. Thanks for sticking around :)

It has been a crazy whirlwind since I started this new job.  I'm starting to get used to the craziness, finally.  Just a bit of an adjustment period I suppose.  Don't get me wrong, I love it.  It's defintely keeping me on my toes. With that being said, I'll be limiting my postes to Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays. 

I hope everyone is doing well!  I've missed my blogger world so much!



Mustard & Flannel

Top & Bracelet: NY & Co.

Cropped Pants: H&M

Shoes: Target

Necklace: Forever21

I'm the queen of cropped pants this week.  I don't know why I'm holding back from busting out these white legs.  I mean, it's not like I'm doing anything to make them tan.  Jergens helps, but it's not giving me the results I want. Not to mention the awful streaks on my legs. Ugh.  Maybe I'll suck it up next week before all of my dresses and skirts go on strike and leave me.

Maxi Skirt & Sock Bun

Top: Forever21

Jean Jacket: NY & Co.

Maxi Skirt: Old Navy

Shoes: Payless

Bracelet & Earrings: Kohl's

Necklace: Target

I bought this maxi skirt last week and it's the second time I've worn it.  If you haven't made the maxi skirt plunge, I suggest you do it soon! Totally worth it.  It's so comfortable and will go with just about anything. I'm sure this will be a definite go to this spring/summer. 

 Thanks to the wonderful Pinterst, I've officially learned how to do a sock bun.  I had to adjust to the fact I was wearing a sock on my head all day, but it's 6pm and it's still going strong! The old bobby pin trick just doesn't work anymore with my long hair.  

The Sweater Vest

Sweater Vest: Forever21

Top: Loft

Jeans: Guess

Shoes: Rocket Dog-DSW

Necklace: Gift from Drew

I can't help but think about the movie Clueless everytime I see a woman wearing a sweater vest.  Alicia Silverstone was my fashion icon back then! You remember, right?

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Drew and I had a blast rooting for our UC Bearcats and hanging with friends.

Woman Problems

Dress: H&M

Cardi/Shoes/Tights/Scarf: Target

I absolutely love the color of these tights. The only problem is everytime I put them on with an outfit it never looks as good as I imagined. I hate that. I'm sure every woman has these issues. Just because it sounds faboulus in your head doesn't mean it looks fabulous on. Those are the days I'm usually late for work. This outfit is on of the few positive outcomes.

Outfit Rut

Top: Forever21

Scarf, Cardigan & Wedges: Target

Jeans: Guess

I was in an outfit rut this morning.  You know, kind where you stand in your closet and stare forever as if it's completely empty.  Ever have that happen? After trying on a ridiculous amount of outfits for 6:30am, I settled with this one. My room now looks like a garbage pit.  Once I got to work I quickly decided I hated it.  Okay, maybe not hate but pretty close.   I think it was just the cuffed jeans with these wedges. It could be that I'm not used to dressing down for work.

The Prefect Dress

Dress: H&M

Necklace: Avon

Bracelette: Charming Charlie

Shoes: Steve Madden

I know, I'm too dressed up. I just can't hide the fact that I love to dress up all the time. I decided to just lay it all out there today on my second day. I wore this outfit on my last day of work with Kroger and never had a chance to snap pictures.  I couldn't let it go unseen. I can't get enough of this dress. Regardless of how much static it attracts, it's perfect.

One Day of Work

 

Sweater & Boots: Target

Skirt: Gift from my mom (Simply Vera Wang, Kohl's)

Necklace: Charming Charlie

I made myself presentable for the one day I had to work this week. I was beginning to feel like a slob spending all of that time at home in my pj's. If I wasn't studying so much I'd probably be bored to death or out shopping and spending money I shouldn't.  

I'm in love with this skirt! Good job Mom!!! It's so comfortable and completely different than anything I have in my closet. I have a feeling you'll be seeing a lot of this skirt.

A Christmas Themed Week

Cami: Old

Cardigan: Ny& Co.

Navy Skirt: H&M

Tights: Kohl's

Shoes: Jessica Simpson

Christmas is my theme this week.  Our department has a holiday luncheon scheduled every day this week with different vendors. So, I figured I'd be festive.  I've been practicing getting up earlier since my commute to my new job will be much longer.  I had time to curl my hair,which NEVER happens.  My hair is extremely  thick so it takes about 30 minutes to make this happen.

My days are numbered as a Meeting Planner for Kroger.  It's bittersweet.  I've been an emotional mess lately.  I've been slowly cleaning out my desk and training the other planners on my meetings.   I've been at Kroger for 8 years and spent just about everyday with these ladies.  It's like leaving family (crying as I type this).  I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them.  I'll miss them so much.
