TGIT

TGIT, is that a thing? It should be a thing if its not, because goodness lord am I glad its Thursday.  Even though its been a short work for me, its still been busy and I am so ready for Friday and my chill weekend. In honor of my TGIT state of mind, a simple outfit was the perfect plan. I'm having a little love affair with my skirts lately, and mixing my favorite little keys skirt with a simple stripped tee was perfect.

Today one of my coworkers commented that my hair looked awesome, I didn't really get it, but looking at these photos, now I do. If I do say so myself, I had a pretty great hair day!

On a totally different topic, you should get this purse. I got it for Christmas and I love it, its my every day go to bag. Obviously, the lovely Kendi knew this and she is now rocking a fabulous white version for spring, and my delightful friend Bijal also got one in teal. So really, join our cool kids club and get this bag!

Uniform

I apparently have a Friday uniform. I was unaware of this until this morning, as I was walking into my office it dawned on me that I had worn the exact same outfit last Friday. I love fun clothes and during the week I find it easier to embrace this love with fun dresses, skirts, and tops. However, the jeans casualness of my office on Friday didn't feel as fun or interesting. Thankfully, the fashion gods decided to bring back colored denim this season and it has given me a whole new love of Friday casual. Apparently this love has translated itself into cardi, striped top, colored pants, printed flats. Its fun, comfortable, and fashionable, I call that a win all around.

We enjoyed the Hunger Games last night. Obviously the books were better but that's always the case, isn't it? This weekend I'll be finishing planting the garden and working on some Pinterest DIYs! I'm pretty excited for a cork board on the pantry door and a chalkboard too! I'm sure I'll be posting photos on the twitters and instagram, so look for exciting craft up dates there!

Misty Morn

I'd like to thank my awesome little sister for this top. I wasn't going to even try it on, but she talked me into it and then told me the purple was better than the blue. Goodness, having a younger sister is awesome.




It was super misty this morning but thanks to some wicked awesome hair spray my hair looked like I'd lightly placed it in an electric outlet, instead of a total frizzy mess. Thankfully these photos were taken within 3 minutes of walking outside, so the frizz hadn't won yet. Also, sweet little neighbor kitty wanted to be on the blog again and who am I to deny that sweet face?

Justice, Faith, & Power

Happy Mardi Gras!! Being from New Orleans, I always bring the party on Mardi Gras day, my coworkers enjoyed delicious King Cake and beads for everyone! They also enjoyed my themed, color blocked outfit. Purple, green, and gold just seem to go better together this time of year.



Mardi Gras colors were not only chosen because they look great together, but they also stand for something! Purple is justice, green is faith, and gold is power. Basically today, I was rocking a Kanye West song. Awesome.

Keys

So remember my style craves post from Saturday? Well, I ended up at Target on Sunday and even though the website said the green skirt was only sold online, I saw it in the store and I also saw this purple one, which I ended up falling head over heels for and bringing home. Not only is it a great cut and fit, but its got these super cute little keys all over it, its whimsical yet professional and I love it! Its also one of maybe 3 purple things in my closet, yay for expanding my color palette.



It is cold in Texas. It wasn't even 35 degrees when we took these photos, the Mr. is a trouper for going out with me in the morning. I'm a lucky girl to have such a willing and helpful husband!

Geaux!

Geaux Tigers for day.
Yes I rocked the purple and gold while in the land of burnt orange and it was great.



Geaux Tigers for night.
We're heading to a bar, so a t-shirt and my sparkly tiger flats will be just perfect!

I am from New Orleans, and my dad went to LSU, I grew up watching the games on Saturdays and listening to his stories year round. Naturally I am pretty stoked about tonight's BCS Championship game!

No time to list where the items came from, instead I'll leave you with my favorite LSU cheer!

Hot boudin,
cold cous-cous,
come on Tigers,
push push push
