Back to Work Look

Sweater: Old Navy / Shoes: Jessica Simpson / Skirt: NY & Co. / Necklace: Charming Charlie

 

 

This week on EBEW, bloggers are posting their favorite back to school looks. I thought this link-up was appropriate since this outfit is from my first week back to Kroger.  Yes, I said KROGER! Do you understand how hard it's been keeping this a secret from you? I'll save the details for another time but Kroger has hired me back as their Senior Meeting Planner. YAY!

 

With a new job comes shopping, right? I picked up this whole outfit for next to nothing over Labor Day weekend. These sales were just in time for my Fall shopping itch.

 

Chevron and Glasses

Top: Burlington Coat Factory / Shorts: Forever 21 / Shoes: Steve Madden-DSW / Glasses: Bonlook

 

I jumped about 10 feet in the air when I found this top. I have a serious obsession with large sheer tops right now. It's sick. Finding one with a chevron print was like hitting the friggin jackpot.

I hope everyone had a lovely Labor Day weekend. I had such a great time with Drew, family and friends!

 

Fave shot of the weekend...

 

 

Classic & Simple

Top: H&M, Skirt: Banana Republic, Shoes: Steve Madden, Necklace: Charming Charlie, Bag: Target

You just can't go wrong with a classic button up and simple black skirt. This is usually a go to of mine after standing hopelessly for hours in my closet. It always works and it always will.

Well, I'm back and boy have I missed you. I'm not technically back from anywhere, just a break. I'm so happy to be back in action with my blog. I love blogging. Really. It makes me happy even if no one ever read my posts. Stay tuned for weekly wedding updates and the long awaited "Shoe in Review" posts.

Have a lovely!

Shorts and Wedges

Top: Loft

Shots: Forever21

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Bracelet: Kohl's

Shoes: Target

Bag: Burlington Coat Factory

This was an oufit I wore over the weekend.  I wore it to dinner and made Drew take me home  so I could change immediately after. I just wasn't comfortable.  I love the idea of this outfit but I need shorts that fit better. Dark denim with a little more length, I'm thinking.  Any suggestions on where I should shop? I'm thinking Gap.

Sucker for a Sale

Top: Target

Pants: Forever21

Boots: Alloy

Belt: Thrifted

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Bag: Kohl's

Ladies, in case you haven't noticed, I'm a sucker for a great sale. What woman isn't?!?  This leopard bag is another one of my great finds!  I picked it up at Kohl's for eight bucks, originally priced at $70.  It took everything I had not to jump for joy when I found it. 

I promise when I get back in town that I'll post some outfits that do not include black skinnies ;)

Kitten Heels

Top: Old Navy

Scarf, Jeans & Shoes: Target

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!  After my year in review post I couldn't stop thinking about these shoes.  It's been awhile since I've busted these babies out.  I wish I could find a kitten heel shoe as cute as these more often. My feet and knees would probably love me so much more. 

I have to brag about this sweater...6 bucks at Old Navy!  I love when I randomly stumble across a fabulous sale.

Ready for The Weekend!

Dress: Forever21

Jean Jacket: NY & Co.

Scarf & Boots: Target

Tights & Socks: Kohl's

I feel somewhat guilty for making this an outfit post.  You've seen this dress with every item I'm wearing just not simultaneously.  Like I've mentioned a billion times before, this is my go to dress. 

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend planned!  Drew and I are going on a date night to my absolute favorite restaurant, Local 127.   He's been out of town over the past couple of days so I'm really looking forward to this night out with him.

xoxo

Let the Planning Begin!

Top & Boots: Target

Skirt: Banana Republic

Socks -Vera Wang for Kohl's

Belt: Thrifted

I wore this outfit while cupcaking and thirfting on Saturday.  What a great day that was. I love how a pair of yellow tights and a skirt can be worn so casually.  Most people think jeans when they think about dressing down or being comfortable.  For me, a skirt is always my go to.  But you all knew that.

Did I tell you Drew and I set a date?? Oh yes.  August 25th, 2012 !  We wanted a fall wedding and a specific venue so this is the closest we could get.  I'm beyond excited! I'm a planner by profession so you can only imagine how my mind is racing!  We had thought a little bit about waiting until Fall of 2013 but quickly decided that planning for two years just wasn't going to cut it.  We have our venue and ceremony site booked so let the planning begin!  I can't even describe how happy I am ♥

Too Much Food

 Dress: Forever 21

Jacket: Kohl's

Shoes: Old Navy

Scarf: H&M

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving.  Drew and I had 4 Thanksgiving meals that day. Yes, four. We weighed ourselves when we got home just for giggles.  It wasn't so funny when I saw the results.  3lbs for me and 4 for him.  Combined that's the size of a baby.  Phew.  Good thing I wore this comfy dress all day. Plenty of room for stuffing and turkey.

On top of all the Thanksgiving hooplah, we went cupcake tasting this weekend.  I'll let the picture do the talking.

  

Cougar Shoes

Jacket:  Lauren Conrad- Kohl's

Earrings: Kohl's

Top: Loft

Pants: H&M

Scarf & Shoes: Target

Bag: Jessica Simpson

Apparently these are my "cougar shoes".  At least that's what the lady walking behind me at Target said.  Um lady, if you're going to talk about me let's bring it down to a whisper.  Sheesh.

I went shopping for my little sister's sweet sixteen gift.  Ugh, I can't believe it.  It seems like just yesterday I was babysitting her and chasing her all over the house.  Now, she's all grown up and so beautiful! 

Love you Madison, Happy Birfffffday!

Copycat (meow)

Dress & Top: Target

Shoes: Old Navy

Bracelet: Kohl's

Charm Necklace: Charming Charlie

Bead Necklace & Belt: Thrifted

Between blowing my nose, coughing, and medicine head, I've had no energy to come up with outfit ideas. Have you ever had a NyQuil hangover?  Trust me, it's bad.  And no, I don't take NyQuil for recreational purposes.  

Anyway,  when I came across this little number by Molly at Urban Nester,  I had to recreate it!  Of course I wish I had the leather dress she's rocking, but I had to work with what was in my closet.  I like how it turned out. Dress turned jumper, I guess you could say.

Attack of the Neutrals

Skirt: Banana Republic

Top: Loft

Blazer & Tights: Target

Boots: Alloy

Bag: Michael Koors - Gift from my fiance

Whoa dude...black, gray, and brown?? Yes, this is happening. Since starting this blog my style has changed so much.  I'm much more willing to take risks.  Just a couple of years ago I would have never thought to wear black and brown.  Now, I'll pretty much wear these boots with anything!

I'm home sick today. No good.  These shots were from yesterday.  My face was pretty much swollen and my nose was bright red from blowing it.  I figured I'd spare the face shots.  The blog is about the outfit anyway, right?

Don't forget...
