T-shirt & Pencil Skirt

Finally a skirt with strappy shoes!  You can't go wrong with a pencil skirt and T.  Pretty effortless.  Comfortable too, I might add.  I'm off to have dinner with a friend I haven't seen in AGES!

I ordered this lovely skirt online thinking it was yellow.  It even looks yellow in these pictures but the truth is, it's lime green. Oh well, I still love stink out of it.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Before I share all of my pictures of Vegas, I have to share my good news! I PASSED MY CMP EXAM!  EEEEE! I'm officially a Certified Meeting Professional. Finally after all the time and stress I can breathe. 

Vegas pics tomorrow :)

By the time you read this post I will be in Vail running around like a mad woman.  I decided since I will be so busy with no access to my camera, I'd schedule a few posts for you this week.

I went shopping over the weekend to pick up a few sweaters and cold weather pieces to wear while in Vail. End of season shopping is the best! I found some really amazing sales!  Like these boots, 70% off! I fell in love with them the second I saw them.  I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of them before the season ends.  

Flex Friday

Top: TJ Maxx

Blazer: Forever21

Jeans: Guess

Shoes: Chinesse Laundry

Scarf: Target

Belt: Thrifted

One of the many things I love about my new job is Flex Fridays.  We get the option of having every other Friday off for working a little extra each day. Not too shabby.  I just have to check my email a few times and I'm good to go!  It's been a rather eventful snowy Friday, had lunch today with a friend I haven't seen in a long time and her CUTIE baby. Then I stopped at Kohl's for my random sale check.  GREAT deals today, Ladies! I bought a leopard satchel for $8!!! Originally priced for $70. WOWZA.

If any of you are Kendi fans, you've seen this outfit! I pulled a copycat move with this one.  It's an outfit I found on her blog when I first started following her over a year ago.  I couldn't find it in her blog so I found it on Pintrest  here.

Everyone have  LOVELY weekend!

Nerd Alert

Glasses: Bonlook

Sweater/Shoes/Pants: Target

Necklace: Forever21

After years of procrastination, I finally ordered new glasses. What do you think?  My eyes feel a sense of freedom! A break from contacts AND stylish!?! Yes, please!  I'm channeling my inner nerd.

I went on a shopping trip this weekend.  Always a great time. I couldn't resist buying another pair of these skinnies from Target! If you haven't tried color skinnies yet, I suggest you should.

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

Getting Used to Casual

 

Blazer & Top: Target, Blazer & Necklace: Forever21, Jeans: Guess

It's been great getting into the casual dress code at work. I feel like I have so many new outfit options without even shopping. My blog is sort of changing direction too.  Showing off a new side of my style, I dig it.  I have a feeling my shopping trips will be much more exciting,  business casual won't be on the brain so much anymore.  Now, I need to figure out how to incorporate all of my skirts without looking too over dressed.

Red Pants

Top: Loft

Sweater: NY&Co.

Pants: Target

Boots: Alloy

Necklace: Kohls

No, I didn't rock the red pants to work. I will though! Just give me time.  I wore this number to my besties' little girls first b-day party.   Can you tell me a better way to debut a pair of red pants? I didn't think so. 

Don't give up on me yet! I promise to have regular posts soon.  I am just trying to get in the swing of things at work. Exciting news though! My first event is in Vegas in March! We are planning an awards party in-conjunction-with Global Shop.  GlobalShop is the world’s largest annual event for retail design and shopper marketing. Pretty exciting stuff!

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.

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.

Counting Down

Dress: Express

Tights: NY &Co.

Boots: Alloy

Belt: Target

Necklace: Charming Charlie

5 days left at Kroger, 18 days until my exam,  20 days until I start my new job.  A bit overwhelming.  I'm stressed about the test, emotional about leaving my Kroger family, and nervous about my new career adventure. I just want to say thanks to my friends, you too Drew, who have been there for me lately. You know who you are.  I feel so lucky to have people in my life that care so much.  Heartchoo.

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.

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!

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!
