Saturday Going Out and Monday Back at Work!

Two days of blog posts today:


SATURDAY

Gray dress: Merona (Target), argyle tights: Walmart, cognac boots: Rack Room Shoes, black motorcycle jacket: New York & Co., photographer: Leila

Leila and I were having fun taking pictures on Saturday. This is me posing on her bedroom dresser Saturday. That evening, we went out and stayed up way too late, which tends to happen when we go visit them! I bought this amazing motorcycle jacket from NY&Co…I wanted to buy one from Express when I went two weeks ago, but it didn’t fit as well as this jacket does. Love it!

Aren’t we cute?

Look at our “goth” fingernail polish! We had so much fun!

MONDAY

Red Chinese style shirt: NY&Co., dark denim jeans: Express, black t-shirt: Old Navy, black flats: Walmart

I decided today was a jeans-day Monday. I don’t have a lot of eye makeup on today, and I think it’s making me look even more tired than I feel. I think I’m going to try Kimberly’s Outfit Inspiration calendar (from Kimberly's Fab Finds Under $50) starting tomorrow. I forgot that today was the 1st, but today’s outfit called for leopard, and since I just wore that on Thursday, I don’t feel like I’m missing out. I doubt I’ll follow it everyday, but it might be fun to challenge myself to find new ways to wear my clothes.

My current lust:

A "Don't" Fashion Lesson

Red blouse - New York & Co.; Black tank top - Old Navy; Black bow skirt - Cato; Black sparkly mules - Dusty's; "Britt" necklace - Gift from Brandon

(Please ignore my bad case of beaver teeth)

I really hoped this outfit would look cuter when I laid it out last night, but that's what I get for not trying it on first. I've been coming to work early every morning, some I'm quite bleary-eyed while getting dressed, so I'd like to think I can't be blamed for putting together this unflattering pairing.

(More bad bow tying for you!)

There are very clear rules for dressing to flatter your silhouette, and the basic one is:

If you wear something loose on bottom, wear something fitted on top, and vice-versa.

I'm clearly breaking this rule today.

The only good thing about this outfit is that I sparkled up my necklace my brother gave me and it looks as shiny and new as the day I received it. He knows me well. Of course I want to proclaim my name around my neck!
