07*30*09 Orange Crush

Top: Macys
Cardigan: Worthington via JcPenney
Skirt: Kohls
Wedges: Kohls

It's orange day. I wore orange, my son wore orange, and my cube neighbor wore orange. This outfit is easy & comfy, but at the same time looks like I put thought into it. Can't beat that!

Wearing a dress as a skirt - GENIUS! I've worn this dress once b/c it's spaghetti strap and low cut, so not office appropriate, and I was having difficulty deciding how to layer it...then I discovered that it would make an awesome skirt since it has elastic under the bust. Love it! Speaking of things I love, this tee is the softest, comfiest, most flattering tee I have ever had! BR sent me a $15 off any purchase coupon, so I scooped this up for free. It's now on final clearance, so I ordered it in navy, too. I wasn't sure about wearing flats with this - my legs felt stumpy, but I really wanted to be comfy today, so no heels for me!

Ruffle Tank: Target

Gray Cardi: Kohls

Pink Skirt: NY&CO

Brown flats: Aerosoles via DSW

Brown belt: Kohls

I picked up this super comfy skirt at NY&CO's summer clearance sale, but I'm having the same problem with it as with my red pants from yesterday. What else do I wear with it besides neutrals? I've noticed that I really don't have a big variety of neutral tops and if I have the choice while shopping, I will almost always go for color over neutrals. Now that I've realized this, I'm trying to increase my neutral wardrobe options.

I am mixing brown & gray, something I would have NEVER done before I started reading all of the lovely fashion blogs. Now its slowly becoming one of my favorite combinations. I know my pose looks a little off balance, but I liked the way my skirt looked mid-swing.

07*09*09 I'm festive!

Flowery top: AGB via Bergners
Pants: AGB via Bergners
Shoes: Mossimo via Target
Necklace: H&M

This is my "festive" top, as one of my co-workers put it. No idea what that means, but I guess every day at the office is a party....ha ha. These shoes look brown in the picture, but they are actually a dark red. I love the zipper detail! And they were only $6 at Target!

Brown Tank: Mossimo via Target

Pants: JcPenney

Necklace: Grandma's

This feels blah. My challenge today was to wear a belt. I did. And I don't really like it. Maybe I should make my hubby pick out my clothes for next week.

06*24*09 Pretty in Pink

Top: Gap outlet
Skirt: Kohls
Flats: Report via Macy's
Necklace: Casual Corner

I'm really liking the way I look in skirts. Taking pictures has really helped me change the way I see myself & what I wear. For instance, I used to think I looked too dressed up & fussy in skirts, but now I think they look better on me than my usual pants. I'm also realizing that most of my pants do not fit properly. I look completely different in pictures than I see myself in the mirror.

06*15*09 Eh...

Top: Axcess via Kohls
Cami: some store in Atlanta
Pants: Kohls
Necklace: gift

This is one of those tops that I bought when I was pregnant because I was convinced I could wear it after the baby, too, and it would still look cute. Unfortunately, I don't think I like this shirt on my non-pregnant self. Maybe its the pants I'm not crazy about and they are ruining the shirt for me. Or maybe its the fact that I associate this shirt with being 20-30 lbs heavier and that makes me feel like a blob. Who knows, but something isn't right. Guess I will try different combos of this before I decide to put it aside.

I always knew that I preferred pants to skirts, but after only a week of blogging, I'm already getting bored with pants. I have several super cute skirts and dresses in my closet, so I'll try to pull some out in the next few weeks.
