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.

 

Faux Leather Shorts

Sweater, tights, & shoes: Target

Shorts: Lauren Conrad - Kohl's

Top: Loft

Necklace: Charming Charlie

I picked up these lovely faux leather shorts at Kohl's for half off.  I've had my eye on them for awhile now.  Good things come to those who wait, right?  Has anyone else tried the faux leather shorts look?  Please share your styling ideas and tips!

Goodness, so much is going on right now!  I hope to be able to share my good news this week! Stay tuned!

Happy Tuesday!

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

Mustard and Burgundy

 

 

 

Top: Dillards

Skirt: NY&Co.

Tights: Kohl's

Shoes: BCBG - Dillards

This is my favorite color combo, hands down.  It's the perfect shade of yellow and red without looking like Ronald McDonald's sister. I love it.  I spent too much money on this top while back.  I won't go into detail because it was completely out of character and I'm ashamed. I fe1l in love the second I saw it.  It's so comfortable and fits so well.

I've been slacking on my blog so much recently. For good reason though! I have some more good news to share with you but I can't just yet.  No, I'm not pregnant!!  There's just so much going on in my life right now, it's crazy! Sometimes I don't know how I keep my head on straight.   My exam is coming up January 7th.  I am so excited to get that overwith!  I'm a studying machine right now!

See ya, Bare Legs!

Sweater & Skirt: Target

Top: Loft

Socks & Earrings: Kohl's

Boots: Alloy

The cold is finally here!  I shouldn't say finally because I'm not really thrilled about it.  I can officially say goodbye to my bare legs for a few months.  See ya, you will be missed.   At least it's starting to feel more like the Holiday season!  NOW I'm ready for Christmas!

I wore this outfit while wedding dress shopping a couple of weekends ago.  Yes, I ALREADY bought a dress.  I decided to make a trip just to see what was in my budget.  I ended up buying the very last dress I tried on.  I obviously can't go into details since Drew reads my blog everyday.  I honestly didn't think I'd walk out with a dress.  The moment I put this one on,  tears started flowing!  It was meant to be.

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!

Dress & Top: Target

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?

New Tights

Cardigan & Top: NY & Co.

Skirt: H&M

Tights: Target

Shoes: Payless

I can't figure out what color these tights are.  I was in such a hurry to rip them out of the pack that I didn't bother to check the color name.  I guess I'd say coffee or maybe even a clay color. I think the picture kind of throws it off. They aren't really as red as they look in this picture.  Either way, I love them.  I really like the pop of color they added to this all neutral-ish outfit.

I'm in love with doing my hair like this! I taught a girl at work how to do it and she's wearing one today. I love it.

Freakishly Warm Outisde

Dress: Loft

Jean Jacket: NY&Co.

Boots: Alloy

Belt: Thirfted

Scarf: Target

Bracelet: Kohl's

We are having freakishly warm weather right now.  I'm not complaining though.  Usually this is the time we all cry about how cold it is outside.  I'm usually already over wearing tights at this point.  So, thanks Mother Nature for letting the legs breath a few extra days.

I'm on a roll with spring/summer to fall transitions.  This was one of my favorite dresses to wear this Summer. It's so easy to transition by simply adding a pair of boots or even tights.

Do you have a favorite spring to fall outfit transition?
