Where's Waldo

So today is my where's waldo outfit.

Today's outfit

  • Red and white striped v neck cardigan (Forever 21)
  • White short sleeve shirt (Kohls)
  • Really really old black dress pants - I think they came with my first suit that I ever got in college
  • Skinny black scarf - not sure if I am wearing it right
  • Black shiny beaded necklace with circle sparkly thing (Laila Rowe)
  • Black Pumps - the usual (Nine West)
I also tried a different hairstyle.  I tried twirling my waves, who knows how it will look by the end of the day thought.

feeling green

Is a cardigan professional enough to wear to work? Part of me thinks so, other part of me not so sure.  What do you think?

Today's Outfit

  • Green v neck cardigan (Forever 21)
  • Lacy off white tank (Kohls)
  • Black Dress Pants, straight leg (Express)
  • Green pumps (Bandolino)
  • Necklace (NY & Co)
oh and sadly no one has noticed my new glasses, then again they are quite similar

Finally Friday and apparently I did well picking out my clothing

Today's Outfit

  • Lacy off white sleeveless shirt - Dressbarn
  • Blue-ish grey pants from NY&Co
  • Navy Blazer from Nordstrom Rack
  • Necklace - no idea, but I really like it since it is more metal-like (bronzes) - just wish I had earrings that matched better than gold
  • Navy pumps (Nine West of course!)
I also went with the low ponytail - is it professional enough?

Another day with a hole in the tights

Despite realizing on my way to work that I had a hole in my tights, I really did like today's outfit.

Today's Outfit

  • Burgundy dress from Loft
  • Off white 3/4 v neck cardigan from Kohls - with a little flower on the side that I really dont care for
  • Necklace: NY&Co
  • Brown tights
  • Brown buckle shoes - do you know where they are actually from? Kmart - who woulda thought?

Wednesday is Grey Day

Today's Outfit...is...grey. Very Grey.

  • Grey long sleeve turtle neck shirt with those weird ribs, not sure if it is out of style, is it?  It is from Old Navy and kind of stretchy and doesnt keep any shape.  Uck I dont know if I should donate this one.
  • Grey pants from Bass (I know, not quite in my age range)
  • Black crocodile texture pumps (Nine West of course)
  • White tank top underneath long sleeve shirt - is this not appropriate?  I feel strange not having one because of the weird texture of the outer shirt.
  • Necklace from Laila Rowe (Once again, I got tons of compliments!)
  • Strange black, white, and grey dangle earrings that I arent a huge fan of but they match
  • Hair was pulled back in one of those clippy things/clawlike things - is this also not very trendy?
So I guess I am not totally in love with today's outfit.  It just wasnt that great nor comfortable.  But how does it actually look?  Do I donate? Do I keep? Do I rewear ever?
Oh decisions

Its not even Noon and I already have a run in my stockings...

Today's Outfit

  • Dress from Dressbarn
  • Khaki colored jacket (that probably should have been ironed) from Bass
  • Brown boots with outside zipper
  • stockings that need to be thrown away, already
  • Goldish necklish - beads
  • Earrings: gold and deep brown
  • Deep brown belt that might be too big because it keeps sliding down from NY&Co
Thoughts?

Friday Half Day Fun!!!

Today it snowed.  A lovely 2-3 inches of white snow covered the ground.  Since I was not in the mood to have the bottom of my pants wet, and since I have realized that it isn't until day 2 of snow that the ground gets gross and muddy and brown - I felt that going for a dress with boots would be the best bet.

Today's Outfit

  • New York and Company Dress (is it too short?)
  • Grey  tights
  • Grey boots from Bass (Don't Judge)
  • Grey no name sweater
  • New Blue scarf (for $3.87 from Old Navy might I add)
  • Silver ball earrings
After my 1/2 day at work I am off to meet Jackie (my sorority big sister) for lunch! Can't wait!

Today - Thursday. Blue Day

Today I wore some new items.  Well some new and some unworn items.

Today's Outfit

  • Shirt from Banana Republic
  • New Black Pants from Dressbarn
  • Old, very old, sweater from New York and Company that I sadly took out of my donate pile that Kim made me put in as it is quite small
  • Alpha Phi Alumni Pin
  • Classic black pumps
  • Hair was actually done with a curling iron, not that you can tell




Funny Comment of the Day
My coworker asked if I was actually wearing a pin or broach.  That she hasnt seen someone under the age of 60 wear a broach and I was the first.  We both got a good chuckle over the fact that yes I am wearing a pin.  Love the comedy today!  Although this sounds sarcastic, I am being truthful/honest.

Day 2 of the new year

When I woke up today, my thermometer said 10 degrees outside.  At work, we are getting new front doors so at times we have no doors or they are opened causing a constant draft. I also knew I had an off site meeting and would be walking in the frigid cold.  Thus I chose my outfit today based on warmth.

Today's Outfit
- Black dress pants
- Black heels
- Black long sleeve shirt
- Cozy Beige sweater
- Black chandelier earrings
- Black and white scarf

First Day Back to Work - well yesterday actually

Today was the first day back to work after the winter break.  I decided to wear a sweater dress as I knew it would only get colder.

Today's Outfit
- Green sweater dress
- Brown belt
- Brown tights
- Brown boots
- gold earrings
