Too Large? "Knot" This Belt!

yellow cowl neck tunic: Express, blue and green blousy tank: NY&Co., chambray skirt: Willi Smith (TJMaxx), black flats: Walmart, yellow belt: Nine West (Ross)

This blue and green fluttery thing is something that has been on my mind lately.  If I didn't wear it soon, I was going to throw it out.  I like the colors in it, but I have to wear something under it, or else I'm flashing bra (or worse) all day long.  Plus, its not got the prettiest shape on me, either.  I decided to try layering it, and although I can't say I love it, I do like it enough to keep it in my wardrobe repetiore.  Ha, I mean, I'm sure I can at least wear it when I'm pregnant!

This belt is too large to wear anywear but the thickest part of my waist, so I knotted it.  I kinda like the effect!

This cuff is from my grandmother.  Isn't it pretty?  I stepped on it (and nearly broke my foot) about a year ago and have been trying to mold it back to the correct shape ever since!!

Back from a Snow Day in yellows and blues

blue sweater: Old Navy, yellow cowlneck tunic: Express, jeans: Express, moccassins: Target

Back from a Snow Day yesterday!  Yesterday we were covered in Snow, and it was beautiful!  I think a lot of the town was off (T and I both were) and around 2:00 most people were venturing out into the white wonderland.  I've never seen so many snowmen! 

The only bad part of an unexpected break from your work week?  Coming back the next day to an inbox full of email and voicemails!  But it is WORTH IT!

This is the outfit I had planned on wearing yesterday, when I knew it would be cold and snowy, so I decided to just go with it again today.  It was still snowy and icey when I got up this morning, but has pretty much melted off the city by now.

Brittany Being Joan

Shirt--Express; Skirt--Cato; Earrings--Gift from Christie; Inspiration: Joan Holloway (Mad Men)

My friends love Mad Men. For me, its a show that I enjoy watching, but it doesn't captivate me in the way that my other shows (namely, True Blood) do. I love the premises of Mad Men, and I lovelovelove the outfits, and even the story line is good. I bought Season 1 on DVD and watched the whole thing. I guess its time to buy Season 2 and give it another go. Leila claims that the first episode of Season 3 was "amazing."

So, in honor of such, here's my best Mad Men outfit. I think its my Joan outfit. Leila says I need a little more cleavage (this applies in every situation), and I think I need a bit more sex appeal, but this is as sexy as I get at work. My attitude just isn't in the right place knowing there's a phone conference at 9:00 and an inspection later today I haven't taken care of yet!

Go ahead, make fun of my vavavoom poses. I don't mind! I tried to wear some bright lipstick today, which I never wear. I always go for light pink, or my go-to "lipstick" is Lip Smackers lip gloss (3/$1!!) This coral has almost already completely come off by now, but I did make an effort!!

I kept my jewelry low key--simple silver hoops, a silver ring and silver bracelet. Joan doesn't need jewelry to stand out. She just does. I wish I had the energy to borrow her attitude for the day!

If you'd like to make fun of me some more, look how "un-girly" I am. I can't sew. I have a sewing machine and Sewing for Dummies, but have never even turned the thing on. My hem line was peeking out a bit from the bottom of my skirt...so I "sewed" it up with some safety pins. I know, I know!!
