It's the WEEKEND Babay!!!

And I'm the lame-o posting pictures on my blog. LOL It's actually kinda chilly and rainy here in ATL, so I ran a few errands and have been hiding in the warmth of my condo -- fuzzy socks and all. :-)

I'm so proud that I created my outfit for tonight from what I wore earlier to run errands. Let me know what you think.

Day....

Grey skinny Jeans - Wet Seal; Grey T-shirt - Wet Seal; Purple Cardigan - Forever 21; Black Patent Peep Toe Pumps - Guess

Evening...

Grey skinny Jeans - Wet Seal; Blue sleeveless blouse- Ann Taylor; Mustard Clutch - Banana Republic; Black Patent Peep Toe Pumps - Guess

Enjoy the weekend!!

Dress Week, Day #5: Coming to a Close

Well I didn't quite make it out of the home office today which means I certainly didn't make it into a dress or skirt. But hey 3 out of 5 ain't half bad! That's the best I've done in probably years.

I'm super excited about some great news over the past 2 weeks and will be celebrating this weekend. It's been a while since I've gone out, so I'm excited to get dressed up for a night on the town especially since the weather is warm here in ATL. I've already started thinking about what I can wear Saturday for dinner and dancing (maybe a dress/skirt creation)!! Sunday I'm heading back to Puerto Rico for a few days of work (and a little fun in the sun!!). My friend is taking me out for a salsa celebration Sunday so I'll definitely have to find something caliente. LOL that was so corny.

I almost forgot I ordered some things from Forever 21 with my store credit and they arrived today! I would post pics but seems like the items aren't online any more (Yellow linen skirt, grey cardigan, purple cardigan). My mom is also mailing me her Member's Only jacket from back in the day!! YAY!! Free and vintage!

Well enjoy the weekend folks!!

Dress Week, Day #4: On Hiatus

I decided to work from home, so no dress/skirt for me today. I'll be back at it tomorrow. I'm so proud of myself for going three days strong this week. I do need to step the posing and picture game up. If people actually read my blog, I'd do more pics of accessories and shoes and stuff.

And just a disclaimer in case you were wondering...

I don't wear the same black Express tank everyday. LOL I bought a grip of em on sale during the After Thanksgiving sales. Man they come in handy. Same goes for the Express Cropped Sweaters and Banana Republic pieces. It's just so easy to throw on with anything when I'm at a loss on what to wear. :-)

Almost forgot to mention that I can cross one item off my wish list. I bought a denim jacket from Nordstrom and it arrived yesterday. It was 50% off so I had to snag it. It's my first purchase from the junior department in ages, but it works. I think I may wear it tomorrow with my last dress for the week.

I also copped this trench from Old Navy a few weeks ago. I love it. I can wear it with whatever, whenever. It really does brighten up my day and make me feel oh so bright, warm and sunshiny inside even on the the gloomiest of days.

Well, until next time....

Dress Week, Day #3: Boring Brown

Plaid skirt (brown, green, cream) - United Colors of Benneton; Orange sleeveless shirt - Banana Republic; Cream sweater - Club Monaco; Dark brown pumps - Nine West

I don't really like this outfit, but I was only at work for half a day and nothing special was going on, so it worked. I think I need a slimmer belt. My mommy made the necklace for me. I know you can't see it, but it's a brown tiger striped stone as the center piece surrounded by smaller earth tone pieces.

Dress Week, Day #2: Going Green

Black skirt - Sisley; Black tank - Express; Green cropped sweater - Express; Black peep toe pump - Tribeca by Kenneth Cole

I woke up EARLY this morning to get my hair done and just threw on a black tank, black skinny jeans and flip flops. It was a tad breezy so I just grabbed the sweater and ran out the door. Well my hair dresser was behind schedule, so when I got home, I made a quick wardrobe change into the skirt and pumps, added the belt and faux pearls and I was off to work.

I got these little peep toes from Nordstrom last year. They are black with a little bow on top and have multi colored embroidery of butterflies, flowers etc. Needless to say all my friends call granny shoes and the only people to complement me on them have been in the 50+ crowd. LOL But I don't care. I think they are cute and they were hella cheap! They will look cute with the lemon yellow skirt I ordered last week too!

Dress Week, Day #1: G.I. Jane

So I decided to make this a week of dresses and skirts. Trying to stay away from the ease and comfort of my pants. I;m shopping my closet and trying to pull out some things that haven't seen the light of day in a while. Surprisingly it's a lot of fun!

So for today, I pulled out my DVF wrap dress. My ex HATED this dress. He thought it was too busy. Lol. Maybe it is, but I love it. What do you think? It fit without alterations (size 2), feels great on my skin (100% silk) AND has hip pockets!!! Loves it! I thought about wearing my black patent mary janes, but found my green patent pumps hiding in the back of my closet begging to be set free. Lol

I'm not sure why it's so blurry, but I guess it's a good thing, b/c this was a horrible hair day. It was a big fuzzy mess!

Green multi wrap dress - DVF; Black cropped sweater and black tank - Express; Dark green patent pumps - Charles David

What I Wore: Puerto Rico, Work Day #2

My second day at work was just as gloomy as the ones before, but I was all bright and sun shiny inside! My Puerto Rican friends urged me to not straighten my hair and just wear it natural. Since it was raining on and off and the humidity there ruins my handiwork with the flat iron I agreed and here are the results. Don't think I'll be trying that again without my styling products.

Not really loving this outfit, but it will work I guess. I didn't overpack with a lot of options so I had to wear it. Wish I would have work stockings even though it was hot as all get out.
