This wasn’t my favorite outfit that’s for sure. It was one of those things that I had in my head and wanted it to work and at 7am it felt like it did but by the time it was picture time I wasn’t a fan anymore. Its not that is was terrible I just felt like it was boring. Sometimes work does that to me? I really like the blouse and think I wore it just so I could wear the shirt? See I pick all my outfits out on Sunday that way I don’t have to stress about it during the week. I hate waking up and not knowing what I am going to wear, especially on a work day! I would much rather sleep in.

Anyway I think I got much better shots today. My life is seriously hectic so I actually haven’t been able to go somewhere and take pics since my first post….pathetic. Either way I like today’s shots much better so hopefully I will get them up in the next day or so.

How is it that a bus hit me while I was asleep?

Holy Moly am I sore. I hit the gym hard this week and woke up this morning and said oh shit! I had the bright idea yesterday that I would do squats every time I made a copy at work (I am seriously a total dork). In hindsight maybe I shouldn't have done that in 4" heels? Holy Batman my thighs hurt not to mention my abs and arms!! I must admit it feels good in a way....productive pain right! I have bulked up a bit this summer and want to slim back down....damage control for the upcoming holidays I suppose!

This was one of the outfits that I just love and then feel really awkward about at the office. Its a bit more mainstream trendy than I usually go for but I LOVE this dress. Its so comfy and the pockets and architecture are just brilliant. The only drawback is its length, its too short for me. I could never wear it to the office without leggings or opaque tights. Even on the weekends its just not me to wear something super short. I felt very trendy though! I would definitely wear it again and can't wait to dress it up in fall with boots and tights.

What do you think...office appropriate?

Hello! My head is not in the game? I seriously can't concentrate on anything worth while or anything lets say that needs attention in order to stay alive...as in DRIVING!! I don't know whats up with me. Not to toot my own horn (toot toot) but I am a damn good driver but not yesterday. Just driving down the road in la-la land thinking about how much I wanted to call my girlfriend and tell her some made up lame excuse for why I couldn't go to the gym with her. I had to shake my head a one point and literally tell myself out loud to get it together! I am not even thinking about anything in particular just anything but what I am doing? Lets hope today I do better!

As for the outfit...I really liked it. Probably mostly because its comfortable but I love the whoosh of the deep V. The shirt under has such a pretty airbrush lace! The shoes too are great and new...we all know how new shoes feel. Had to take pics at the house again and you will probably continue to see that lame back drop but hey whatever works right! I did get word yesterday that I am definitely starting that new job so my hours will change drastically but may leave more time for better photo-ops...like the ones that don't require self timers!

Things that make me smile

Thought today I would share some of my favorite things

Greek Yogurt with honey!! My favorite snack ever mmmm goodness

Animals in general...I like them more than humans

Argyle anything! In fact I love the word just as much as the pattern...argyle, argyle, argyle

Fashion and everything about it 

Cudas especially purple ones! Really any old muscle car.

This one covers two loves! Shoes and polka dots....together OMG

Hope you enjoyed!

I broke out the boots folks! Its still quite warm but I just couldn't handle it anymore they had to come out...for real they have been begging for weeks now. My tights were pissed when I told them it wasn't time for them yet. I don't know why I rush the seasons? When the summer comes I am always stoked to wear my dresses and take off all the outerwear, in fact there are still quite a few combos that are unrequited but still I want the cooler weather? Guess the grass is always greener...meh.

I had Boba tea today....I don't really know what to think about that stuff. Actually I know exactly what I think about it....GROSS! My husband is in love?? I don't really understand it which makes me want to like it but why its just odd. I wonder if he really likes it or just says that cause its interesting? I mean I will give it that its interesting. Although this is the same man that upon walking out of the bedroom in the above outfit he exclaimed "Holy Robin Hood all you need is a quiver"! Guess it was good I decided against the tights eh?

I think its finally starting to cool off! Better break out the dresses while I can. This was my Friday outfit to the office but didn't have any time to post until today. Last night my wonderful husband took me to dinner at our favorite little spot Coup de Tartes it was SO yummy. We started off with the cheese platter that had the most wonderful creamy brie and then I had the fillet Mignon with a pesto butter and pomme frittes (fancy word for french fires) and a tomato stuffed with mushrooms and Parmesan it was utterly scrumptious especially since I have been eating so clean this week it was a real treat. He was so amazing all week not telling me where we were going and then when we arrived I reminded him that this place was a BYOB and we hadn't brought any wine. He had a showed up earlier that day and dropped off wine and beautiful Lillie's so they would be there when we arrived.....I LOVE HIM! It was a perfect evening and I it also gave me the perfect opportunity to try out my newly learned smokey eye. It looked great...I always feel like it is soo much makeup but in a setting like that it works.

My sister was down and we spent the first part of the day having lunch and going around to a few boutiques..one of which had a cupcake and champagne event and everything was on major sale. Considering nothing in the store is over $39 anyway I was forced to stock up!

Either way still perfecting that smokey eye and would love to see your take!

So......Today I stopped on my home to get my husband a anniversary card and the soundtrack to Crazy Heart (great CD by the way). I decided on Target because it would be a one stop shot and its on my home...BAD IDEA. I parked my car turned of the music and had a heart to heart with myself and my credit card....NO SHOPPING. You have no money I warned and you have mega bills this month and you have PLENTY. After a little debating and convincing we agreed that it was for the best. Deep breaths, feeling strong and were walking. Hello Mr. Target greeter, hello Target return girl that probably knows me by name...and were walking. Eyeing the clothes but were walking. CD check, card check.....maybe I can just see if they have a eyeshadow brush? Then it happened....standing in line thinking I should have grabbed a hand cart!!!!! I should be outlawed! Did you know that when you are a hardcore gambler you can go into the casino and tell them to never let you in....sign a few papers take a few photos and wham they will seriously arrest you if you show up. I need a program like that....serious...stat. Although I would probably just dress up in disguise. I am a terrible person and I need help......probably need help paying my car insurance this month that's for sure.

Anyone tried matte nail polish (had this in my hand today but was able to talk myself out of it). The Sisters had this amazing post about it but I would like some more feedback? I love the OPI copper business in the first shot.
