Important Meeting

Today I had an important IEP meeting scheduled first thing in the morning.  I needed an outfit that was professional, but also comfortable enough to go the long haul for an activity filled Friday.  I decided on a grey pencil skirt paired with a white blouse and coral sweater.  I topped it off with a mint statement necklace and nude heels.  I was really happy with the outfit, and it functioned well for all of my various roles at work today.

Ridiculously Tired

I could not sleep last night so this morning I was absolutely exhausted when I was getting ready.  I went for something simple and stylish.  I figured I couldn't go wrong with cheetah print and black so I paired a cheetah print tunic top that is honestly too big with a pair of black skinnies and topped it off with a black blazer.  Tucking the top into the pants and covering it with a jacket made the top work, even though it was too big.

I was ridiculously tired today, so I decided to wear an old standby...animal print and black.  What do you like to wear when you don't feel like thinking about it?

Summery Shift Dress

I was running so late this morning, I just needed something that I could throw on quick and head out the door.  I always find that a simple dress and a statement necklace  are easy to throw on and look put together. I decided to pair a cobalt blue shift dress with a mint necklace.  I've just discovered this color combination and I think I'm in love.  I plan to wear these colors together a lot over this summer.  I ended up really loving this outfit for work.  It felt modern and a little bit fancy.  What do you think about the combination of cobalt blue and mint?  Is it something you would wear?

Traffic Cone Orange to Pale Pink

Today was a super busy day.  I was excited to wear this orange blazer that I got on clearance when I was visiting my parents in Arizona last week.  I wore it for an event over the weekend, but I had so many ideas for styling it that I decided to wear it to work today.  The outfit was comfortable and I thought it was cute.  What do you think about bright colored blazers?  How would you style an orange blazer?

After work I had an event to attend for the evening.  I decided to wear a color that I don't wear to often...pink!  I accessorized the dress with a black flowered necklace, black belt, and black heels.  I got a lot of compliments on the outfit and I really liked it.  What do you think about pink?  Is it a color you wear often?

Purple Professionalism

Today was my first day back to school after spring break.  I was not looking forward to waking up early, but I was determined to dress professionally despite being so tired.  I decided to wear a black and white tweed pencil skirt with a black blazer.  I added a purple silk shell for a pop of color.  Since I didn't wake up as early as I had hoped, I didn't have time to straighten my hair so I put it up in a bun, which ended up adding the professional feel of the outfit.

Going Girly

Today I had a busy day that required a somewhat fancy outfit.  I decided to wear a classic...black and white polka dot dress.  The version I chose was a little more modern with the combination of large and small polka dots.  I paired the dress with a pearl necklace and earrings.  The outfit was perfect for the day, and I got a lot of compliments on the dress.  Overall, I think it was a successful outfit.

Saturday Craziness

Today was a busy day.  I had plans for breakfast and later to attend a get together.  I decided to wear two completely different outfit for each outing.  The first outfit that I decided to wear was one that I had been wanting to put together for awhile.  I saw a similar outfit on Pinterest a while back and was excited to try out the chambray shirt/striped skirt combination.  The yellow flats I ordered recently were a great pop of color to finish the outfit.  The ensemble was comfortable and I really liked the way it came together.

Mini-Trip to Visit the 'rents

For the past few days I have been in Lake Havasu for a last minute trip to visit my parents. As hard as it is to believe, my parents do not own a full length mirror so I had to take photos when I got home from my trip.  The weather was warm and I was on vacation so I went for casual comfortable outfits that were good for hanging out with my parents.

On Thursday we did a little shopping and then hung out around the house.  I went for a casual short outfit that was comfortable around town and at the house.

The past few days I was traveling so I ended up wearing the same accessories.  What do you do with your accessories when you travel?  Do you like to repeat accessories to cut down on what you have to pack?

 

Travel Day

Today I drove to Lake Havasu for an impromptu trip to visit my parents.  I picked up my grandma along the way and brought my dog with me.  It's so nice to have a few days off for spring break so I can get in some quality family time.  It was a cool 68 degrees at home and I was anticipating 86 degree weather when I arrived.  I decided to layer colored skinny jeans with a tank and a hoodie.  I needed something comfortable that could transition from colder to warmer weather, and this outfit worked perfectly.

Dog Park and Lunch

Today was the first official day of my spring break.  I had a busy day with my pooch planned.  We went to the pet store and the dog park before joining my best friend for lunch.  This evening I had dinner plans with another friend.  It was great to spend some quality time with my puppy and to relax after a few busy weeks at school.  The weather has cooled off significantly since last week so I needed an outfit that I could play with my dog, go to lunch, and be warm enough all day long.  I decided on jeans and boots, with a coral colored sweater.  The outfit was cute and comfortable, and perfect for today.
