Case of the Sundays...

Dress, La Rok; Cardigan, BR; Necklaces, UO and F21; Pashmina, H&M; Flats, BCBG

I can feel myself getting sick.  Ugh.  I got called into work (on my day off) for a whole two hours.  So, I kept what I slept in on, and threw on my vest, a pashmina and some necklaces.  There you go.  That is what they get for making me deal with crabbies for two hours.  Oh well.  I do, in hindsight, like this one a lot...perfect for warmer fall days.  With riding boots and tights.  Hmmm....

Spandex on Saturdays, oh my!

Top, Standard; Cardigan, F21; Belt, thrifted; Leggings, Poof; Flats, BCBG

Since I had class super duper early and long today, I went comfy to work.  The fam is still in town, so I had about two minutes to put some decent clothes on and jet off to a quick lunch with them before becoming a Banana Slave for a day.  After work (they let me off early!), I headed over to a nice and relaxing barbeque dinner with the grandma, aunt and mother.  Yum!

Art Fair Festivities

Boots, Vintage; Top, Standard; Pashmina, somewhere in Paris; Bag, Hobo; SKIRT, ALEXANDER MCQUEEN!!!!!!

Since some fam was in town, we decided to dress our happy butts up and head uptown to the Plaza Art Fair.  Note to self:  never again am I drinking that many cocktails.  And I am going to invent a breathalizer (sp?) for phones.  Ha.  Anywho, we headed to a little Italian bistro for some happy hour happiness, then walked around a bit.  It was a glorious day off. 

Now, the most important thing about tonight.  The skirt.  LOVE the skirt.  Bananas.  Crazy Bananas.  Got it on SUPER sale a few weeks ago, and have been waiting for this art fair to wear it.  Only problem is that it is a bit hard to walk in.  But it is sooooooo pretty and I am sooooooo in love so I don't even care.

My little seestor and I.  Aren't we cute?

Is it Friday yet?

Dress, F21; Cardigan, Gap; Gladiators (hidden), F21; Necklaces, BR and F21; Sunglasses, Prada

NO.  No, it is not Friday yet.  Ugh.  Oh well...it is less than 12 hours away, thankfully.  I can't believe that I have yet to post anything this week.  Whoops!  Today, I just had a test, then work.  I just spent 12 bucks at Panera on lunch, and I am not happy!  12 dollars!  Oh well...I spent entirely way too much money on clothes last week.  Oopsies Poopsies!  Hopefully, the remaining two items will be worn this weekend.  It is the Plaza Art Fair, which is, after all, a glorious excuse to dress up and have fun!  More on that to come!

And, yes.  I am OFFICIALLY obsessed with maxi dresses.  BAH-nanas.  Love them.  And love the Halston Spring 2010 RTW line.

Friday meeting madness

Dress, Mitzy London; Pearls, Italy; Jacket, Silence + Noise; Gladiators, Sam Edelman

For my Friday, I chose this new toy...my new grey maxi dress!  I love it.  I will be wearing it probably weekly.  Obsessed.  We had a meeting today, and there are entirely way too many points to cover for our fashion show, but oh well.  It just means I am officially a busy body until February 19th.  After the meeting, I ran over to work for a bit, then home to bed.  Early day on Saturday.  Football game.  Tailgating starts at 7 am.  Yes.  Good night!

Mass Street Lovin'

Top, Gap; Earrings, Epic; Jeans, F21; Belt, Gap; Flats (not shown), BCBG

Just wore this outfit out for a bit of schmoozing in beautiful Lawrence.  Love that town.  Especially on Thursday nights, with good friends and half price martinis.  Sadly, no pictures were taken downtown of outfits, just of friends.  Those will be on facebook soon!

Class and yet another free day...

Dress, Gap; Boots, Vintage; Tank, BR; Scarf, Banana; Earrings, Epic

I didn't have to work today, so I wore this to class.  No idea why.  I could definitely wear this to work.  I definitely have not worn this dress in a while.  It was a fantastic lazy day outfit.

Shopping Sunday

Boots, vintage; Leggings, Poof; Tank, F21; Vest, BR; Scarf, H&M; Earrings, Epic

So, instead of working all day today, like I normally do on Sundays, I decided to spend my day off as a bum.  I went shopping.  Hung out with one of my life coaches for a bit.  Hung out with a shopping buddy for a bit.  Then, I went to dinner and watched the weekly Rachel Zoe Project and Project Runway.  Perfect day.

Excellence can be obtained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, expect more than others think is possible.

Promise an outfit post during my break later.

Date night

Pants, F21; Gladiators, Sam Edelman; Cardigan, J Crew; Tee, H&M; Necklace, BR; Bag, Sisley; Earrings, Bahamas

After spending, quite literally, my ENTIRE day sitting at a computer on campus (I do not recommend it), and drinking way too much coffee, I finally finished my personal wardrobe inventory!!!  Grand total (or damage): 688 items, and just over $14,000.  Hmm.  I don't know how good or bad that is.  Oh well.  I have a lot of clothing, yet somehow, I never seem to have anything to wear!

I have been searching high and low for a pair of harem pants that don't make me look like MC Hammer.  I went to F21 today, and found some!  And they are super comfy.  And I love them.

After class, I had a wee bit of a meet and greet with a fun boy.  I had two cosmos and a glass of wine and some spin dip, and it was a great night!  We'll see...

Labor Day Laziness

Earrings, H&M; Top, UO; Skirt, Banana; Shoes (not shown), F21

I didn't have time to post this yesterday.  My lazy Labor Day was filled to the brim with pure nothing.  First, my padre arrived in town, with his jeep full of goodies to go in my fridge.  Did I already mention that?  There is a solid chance that I did.  Anywho, we went to lunch at Dean and Deluca...my official new favorite restaurant.  Yum.  And healthy, too!  Then, I got to cruise around town in his friend's little red Audi TT convertible.  I took Em with me, and we acted like snobby brats and it was gloriously relaxing to zoom around with the wind blowing and the sun shining.  I even got a bit of color...

...only to come home to start the mother of all projects.  A personal inventory of everything I own that pertains to apparel.  EVERYTHING.  Here is just a glimpse into what I own...I'll give you the results later...

Sunday Funday, courtesy of Pomeroy

Dress, Gap; Tank, Banana Republic; Earrings, F21; Belt, Banana Republic; Boots, Vintage; Bangles, Market in Nassau

Part one of my Sunday Funday started out with a lovely morning sleeping in, then going to work.  After work, my dad brought me a TON of food from home.  Yay to having a full refrigerator right now!  I feel like I'm at some other apartment when I open my fridge now.  Ha. Is that sad?  After work and dinner with dad...I headed up to P&L for a free concert with Pomeroy.  

Shirt, Banana Republic; Earrings, UO; Belt, Gap; Jeans, F21; Boots, vintage; Clutch, Banana Republic

Since it is starting to become more fall-like (finally), I decided to cover up a bit when I headed downtown.  Sadly, my foot went through my jeans while I was getting dressed, so I don't know how much longer they will hold up.  Oh well.

I also got to run into my old roommate and her friend.  Aren't they lovely?  I love running into people!

I also happened to run into this one in between stops in my bouncing between bars.  Lead singer of Pomeroy...pretty cute up close.  And I love the glasses!  On that note, good night!

Skirt, Banana Republic; Shoes, BCBG; Top, Express; Belt, F21

I wasn't able to take a picture until the end of the loooooooong day that was Saturday.  Class from 8 am to 2 pm, then work til 4.  Phew!  Anywho, I couldn't decide on anything comfortable, so instead, I chose my FAVORITE skirt from last winter.  Not comfortable...I can barely walk in it!  Oh well...it is pretty.  Very Carrie Bradshaw, circa SATC The Movie...sadly, I did not have fabulous plans, as Ms Bradshaw would have had.

Vest, Banana Republic; Dress, Old Navy; Earrings, Epic

I decided to go for comfort (shocker) since I haven't slept in a while.  I wore this to work (yet again, loving the fact that I can now wear sleeveless to work), then out for a quick sushi dinner, then home for some homework.  Didn't have time to post this yesterday, but will have a post later today for the outfit I'm wearing right now...Off to FM+D meeting, then lunch, then work, then home for some (tear) drawing homework.  Ugh. 

Tuesday Funday!

Dress, F21; Vest, Banana Republic; Boots, Vintage; Earrings, Banana Republic

I also wore a scarf that is tan that I bought in Paris a few years ago.  It was my official first pashmina purchase, and I have been addicted ever since!

It is still a bit on the cooler side, so I decided to go with a light dress so that I would still be appropriate for work.  Because, obviously, I have to work today.  In fact, I have to work in about 20 minutes.  Then, I am off yet again to a fantastic reverse happy hour with a long lost friend from work.  She could easily be another life coach for me.  Yes.  A domani!
