Skirting the Issue

blouse: Express; skirt: Tulle; shoes: Oh Deer

I am so tired, but I still had the urge to blog about my outfit for the day. I got this skirt from Tulle and absolutely loved the print so much that I bought a dress in the same print. I got a really good deal on a couple of items from the site and found the quality of the clothing really good. Oh, and they donate a portion of amount you spend to one of their selected charities, which is awesome. Doing some good while you shop! I would have preferred to wear a white tank in this 100+ weather, but that wouldn't fly at my job, so a white button down was the best I could do. The red shoes, I love. I'm addicted to buying red shoes and cannot be stopped! ;)

It was such a busy day today at work and then I had a meeting where I had to make crafty projects for a big event I'm helping out with, but it was fun. Now I'm just so drained and really can't wait for our anniversary weekend! No concrete plans yet, but we'll see where the road takes us!

Date Night

Dress: Express; belt: Anne Klein; heels: Nine West

So the majority of the time I am in my work wear. Not that I'm complaining. I love working in a professional atmosphere and doing what I love. But every now and then I have my moments where I'd rather wear something super relaxed and comfy too work, and then there are times, when I want to dress up and wear one of the really cute dresses that hang longingly in my closet. Well, my hubs and I recently took time out of our busy schedules for a nice, fun date night. We went to dinner and caught a movie at midnight. We stayed out really late, got icecream, and just enjoyed each others company. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to pull out this little silk dress. I added the pink accessories to pop against the black. I'm hoping for more 'date nights' in the future!!

Tweed-lee Dee

Skirt: Express; blouse: NY&Co.; pumps: Boutique Nine(Nine West); trench: F21; necklace: Express

My work environment requires a very professional (conservative) dress code, so this is a typical work look for me. It's still a bit chilly in the mornings so this tweed skirt kept me warm. The blouse has a ruffle trim around the neckline. My pumps are my current favorite pair from Nine West. The necklace is also Express. It's an owl. I collect owl stuff. I've always found them quite interesting! I wore a leopard print trench in the morning to give my outfit some "fun." Plus, it kept me warm, too!

On a side note: I didn't celebrate Mardi Gras, but I hope those that did had fun!! I am however observing Lent starting today and attended Ash Wednesday services. I also made my committment to give some things up for the next 40 days. I'll let you know later how I do.
