Black, Plaid and Floral...Oh My!

I worked in Nashville today and it was FREEZING (by a southerners standards). But that didn't stop me from rocking my new pattern mixed outfit. Well that and the fact that I only had this one outfit in my bag. I think was OK, nothing special. What do you think?

K-Mart Rocks

So The Budget Babe responded to a post with suggestions on what to wear to a baby shower this spring. I'm a sucker for bold colors and patterns (although you probably can't tell looking at what I wear daily), but I fell in love this dress from K-Mart. Yes, K-mart. I can just my ex rolling his eyes and turning his nose up at this frock, but that's exactly why he's an ex!

I had the package waiting on my doorstep when I returned tonight from a trip to Nashville and couldn't wait to try it on. Check it out..



I'm excited to wear it out one day soon. Still need some freaking accessories and figure out which shoes to wear with it. I'll get there eventually....

Apartment Hunting

I am officially blogging!!! My first blog posting ever =) I am super excited to be doing this. If anyone is familiar with the DC housing/rental market, they can understand my pain in trying to find temporary housing in this economy that doesn't cost greater than $1500/month in rent. I digress, this is a fashion blog after all. I decided to check out this Embassy Row House apartment wearing this outfit. Thoughts on the outfit?

It's Coming.....

So after weeks of throwing subtle hints, I have FINALLY coerced my homie to add her contributions to StyleSearch. YAAYY!!! Since my undergrad days she has tried to get me out of my jeans and tees and find my inner girlie diva. LOL Believe it or not, she now CLAIMS that she can't dress herself of find anything to wear, but I'm not buying it!

Keep an eye out for her contributions....

Spring Has Sprung

The weather here is in ATL is gorgeous. I'm loving the warm temperatures, light breeze and all of the sunshine! I was in a springy mood and decided to dress accordingly. I had on a purple cardigan in the office as it was a little chilly and my coworker called me to the effect of "easter bunny surprise". We all got a good laugh at my expense but nothing was shaking my mood today.

BCBG to the Rescue

After my extended delay at the airport last night, I was in no mood to do anything other eat and go to sleep. It was no surprise that I totally overslept and late for a marketing event at work. Thankfully I just picked this dress up from the the tailor and it was still draped across the foot of my bed.


I didn't really give it much thought, just threw on some shoes and a jacket. I swear I showered, got dressed, did hair and makeup in 20 minutes this morning and you can't really tell, right? LOL! Maybe I'll try it with some different shoes and my boyfriend jacket next time and see how it looks.

Puerto Rico!!!

Well I'm back in San Juan again. Not sure how I actually made it. I got in from a get together around 2:30am and crashed til 5am and some how managed to throw some things in a bag and drive in the pouring rain in just enough time to make my flight. Next thing I know, I'm sitting in the lobby of the Caribe Hilton, drink in hand waiting on my room to be finished.

After a power nap, lunch and another nap, I headed out to show San Juan my dance skills. In my sleep packing this morning, I somehow forgot to pack my giraffe print shoes and instead packed the ones from last night. Eh, it's OK. I think it still worked out. I had a good time at the Courtyard Marriott salsa party although I only danced once. Puerto Ricans are such awesome and passionate dancers! :-)

I actually recylced my black and green outfit from last week so I won't bother posting it, but here is what I wore to teach my class on Tuesday. Basic black and white with a little purple for a drop of excitement.

Black trousers - Club Monaco; Purple Top - Express; Black and White Jacket - ??; Black Patent Mary Janes - Kate Spade

Today I threw on jeans instead of work attire. I was only at the office for 10 minutes and headed over to the airport to find out no earlier flights were available and my flight is delayed over an hour. Oh JOY!! I honestly don't mind being in PR longer, but I'm gonna miss Top Model :-( Oh well, looks like I'll be watching it on Youtube tomorrow night!
