Fashion Friday

I didn't do a Fashion Friday post last week (did anyone notice/care?) which is good because this week revolved around wearing shoes that didn't rub my possibly suicidal big toenail the wrong way. So not much that was photo-worthy. Good thing I have last week to fill in.

Red & Black/White & Animal Print
I really like this scarf. It always drapes well. I feel like with most of my other scarves, I spend way too much time trying to get it to drape nicely and usually I give up.

  

Gray Blazer & Yellow Scarf
If I'm wearing a scarf, that usually means I was too lazy to wear jewelry

  

Colorblock & Print
I wear this dress all. the. time. It's my lazy go-to outfit. As in "I want to look put-together, but I also want to be comfortable." The dress has pockets!

  

Vertical Stripes & Can Finally Wear Cute Shoes
Most of this week was spent wearing and old pair of Asics or Danskos. By Thursday my toenail could handle flats, as long as they were a little roomy. Also, I picked up this dress at last week's clothing swap.

  


Did you notice??? I'm wearing a different pair of shoes with every outfit! That NEVER happens in these posts.

ALSO - if you like purses and purse-like things, I'm doing a virtual party with Thirty-One. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

Fashion Friday and a Cat Video

Monday:

 

 

Tuesday:

 

 

Wednesday:

 

Also, Kelly sent me this video earlier today. She had perfect timing. 

I was all stressed out about work stuff, but this video made me laugh so hard, I cried. 

I've been spending the rest of the day trying to re-enact the 

"You're talking to me?" "Mmmmrrrooooow" scene with my cat.  

Fashion Friday: Still "Summer"

Saturday: Yes, it was St. Patrick's Day. I went out for Vietnamese food with BFF Scott. At least I wore green though. Top from clothing swap, skirt and belt from Target a long time ago, shoes from Plato's Closet awhile ago.

 

Sunday: My niece's second birthday party. This entire outfit, minus the shoes, was from a clothing swap. And I'm pretty sure my "skirt" is actually one of those tunic tube tops. But my shoes!! Are actually new! I bought them at Target on Saturday. You could actually go out and purchase them right now! Amazing. That I made it out of the Activewear section at Target.

Even my niece was styling, in a cute little dress, jeggings, sparkly shoes and a custom feathery headband. (The star said "Birthday Girl.")

 

Gold star for whoever can accurately guess my mom's age

 

Modeling some of her fashionable gifts. I got her the hat (with a matching blue hoodie and some books).

Even my bro (not my niece's dad) was styling, in the BMX-er dude sense of the word style. Yes, that is Chuck Norris on his shirt. I assume that is a play on the whole "Texas Ranger" thing.

Monday: An outfit I've photographed before; didn't feel like photographing it again. Especially since this time I didn't wear such awesome shoes. (I'm kind of over heels.)

Tuesday: Trying to embrace this whole "bright color" trend. Cardigan from Old Navy (long time ago), tank from H+M (long time ago), skirt from clothing swap, shoes from Target, necklace ... I dunno. It's old too. Everything's old or secondhand, minus a few pairs of flats that I've purchased in the past few months. And a dress for my cousin's wedding in May.

 

Wednesday: Skirt + tank + cardigan = clothing swap. (Although maybe the cardigan was from Goodwill ... I can't keep up anymore.) Scarf was a gift from BFF Ultra Vera after a work trip to China (years ago, when she used to travel internationally for work all the time.) Shoes from Target a loooong time ago, and the same ones as above.

 

Thursday: Summer dress + blazer. Sometimes this is all I have brainpower for at 6am. But it's a good way to make your summer clothes "office appropriate." The dress is from Old Navy (via Goodwill), the blazer from NY&Co a long time ago, the shoes are the same as Sunday (Target), necklace from Etsy.

 

So I've been doing Fashion Friday posts for a few weeks now ... what do you all think? Yay? Nay? Should I keep doing them? Or does my sense of style suck? Be honest. I can take it. 

Fashion Friday: What season is it?

I don't care if according to the calendar we still have a week of winter left, I'm loving this weather! As much as I love sweater dresses and tights, I also love summer dresses! I picked up a ton of summer clothes as the result of a clothing swap last November, I'm so excited that I can finally start wearing my loot!

Sunday: Wedding Shower for my cousin and his fiance. However, I have known his future wife for quite awhile. She's been a friend of my sister-in-law for a few years; sis-in-law introduced them at the surprise party we threw for her (sis-in-law) in 2010. (This is the same sis-in-law who was my friend for about eight years before she started dating, and later marrying, my brother ... we like match-making in this family.)

Monday and Tuesday's outfits weren't photo-worthy.

Wednesday: It feels like summer, so I'm going to wear a summery top. But add a summery blazer because anyone who has worked in an office knows the key to survival is layering.

Thursday: Still feels like summer, so I'm breaking out the linen.
