07*17*09 - A week late!

Red striped tee: Kohls

Purple swing jacket: Fossil.com

Black pants: Kohls

Black wedges: Aerosoles via DSW

Necklace: made by me

I bought this tee probably over a year ago b/c they were practically giving it away. But, I got it home, didn't like the way it fit, and let it hang in my closet until now. Then I discovered that if I wore it underneath something, I liked it a lot more. Yeah for layering! Purple and red is one of my new favorite color combos. Dark purple is almost a neutral for me - I haven't tried anything with it that I have not liked.

07*24*09 Dress turned skirt

Brown seamless tee: Banana Republic (free with coupon!)

Dress turned skirt: Kohls

Belt: Kohls

Sandals: Sears

Locket: etsy

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!

07*13*09 Red & Ruffles

Gray top: Apt. 9 via Kohls
Red Khakis: Old Navy
Black wedges: Aerosoles via DSW
Necklaces: both gifts

I tried layering necklaces today, and I really like the look. They were a little tangled when I took my pics, so no close-ups. I also really love my red khakis - the fit is great and the color is awesome! I just have the problem of what to wear with them.

07*07*09 Pink & Red?

Pink polo: Arizona via JcPenney

Khakis: Ann Taylor Loft ($9.88)

Button Necklace: Kohls

Red Wedges: Merona via Target

I'm wearing pink and red together - and I'm not a 6 year old girl on Valentines Day. I kind of like the unexpected combo, but I wonder how many people will think I got dressed in the dark??? And no, I didn't get dressed in the dark - I put a new light bulb in my closet last night :)

07*01*09 Grrrrr

Red tee: Kohls
Black skirt: TJ Maxx (old)
Scarf: Grandma's or ebay (either way its old!)
Peep toe wedges: Aerosoles via DSW

Once again, this is a skirt I hardly ever wear. It came with a cute black and white polka dot scarf belt, but every time I put it on I felt like I was going to a sock hop. So, I tried it with the leopard scarf today. I can't decide if I like the look or not - is it cute or frumpy?

06*19*09 Flowery Friday

Top: Apt 9 via Kohls
Skirt: K-mart
Sandals: Lord & Taylor via ebay
Necklace: vintage - great-grandma's

Love this skirt! I can't believe it came from K-mart. I just had to buy it after seeing Kimberly wear it. And it was a steal at only $12.50! Today I kept it simple with a black top to really make the skirt stand out. Next time I wear it, I will try to mix it up a bit. I bought these shoes for my bridal shower 4 years ago and don't wear them much. They have a skinny heel and I am not that coordinated, but I decided to give them a shot today. I have a back-up pair of wedges in my car just in case :) Have a wonderful weekend!

06*17*09 Wednesday = Dress Day

Dress: Kohls
Cardi: Worthington via JcPenney
Brown Wedges: Aerosoles via DSW
Belt: old

I'm wearing a dress! And I like it! Oh my! I bought this dress for our trip to Cancun in 2007 and haven't worn it since then. I decided it was time - its supposed to be 95 degrees today. I felt too girly in it at first, so I added the yellow belt for a little contrast and pizazz. I'm sure I will get asked at least once today why I'm dressed up, my response - because it's Wednesday, do I need another reason!?! :)
