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!

Twins!

You know whats fun? Accidentally dressing like your dog. I did that today, but didn't really notice it until I was editing photos. I am however, totally okay with it, I mean who better to dress like than an adorable little lady? I found this shirt on super clearance at Old Navy over the weekend, I don't remember seeing it when it was full price, but I'm glad I found it, its a fun pattern and a different color for me, so I'm excited to branch out a bit with it next time.



You may have noticed the new photo location. This would be just a small section of this seasons patio garden. What you see here are some of the flowers I planted, our basil plants, jalapenos, and our big 3 year old rosemary. I'm really excited to see how things do this year with a full patio and direct sun, I'm hoping for many delicious home grown veggies in a few months.

Leap Day!

I was in a bit of a mood this morning, so photos weren't really something I was excited about. But, I'm committed to this little blog, so we took them, cranky face and all. I got this dress over the weekend, I wasn't planing on it, but then my mom told me about this great sale. Well I had to look and what do you know a brown and coral dress in a leopard type print for under $20? You know I couldn't say no to that!



The jean jacket was inspired by my lovely coworker. I spent a good part of Sunday night trying to figure out how to style this dress and was feeling a bit lost. Then I came into work on Monday and my coworker is sitting there with a cute print dress and a jean jacket and a light bulb went off! Thank goodness for stylish coworkers!

Still time for tights

It was 80 degrees today and this morning for a good 45 minutes I had plans of not wearing tights. But the Colorado girl in me just couldn't do it, late February is too early for bare legs, even with tall boots and socks. So on went the tights and I suddenly felt much better.



Being 80 degrees, today was one of those magical Austin days when I totally love living here. I went to a trailer park for lunch with one of my favorite friends and had delicious Greek hamburgers, then we got super caffeinated on lovely free trade iced coffee from a shop crawling with hipsters. Then I went back and worked and giggled with my coworkers before coming home and making party snacks with the hubs. We're hosting a (Mr. made) beer tasting tomorrow night and I'm in charge of appetizers!

Southwestern

This belt is the most southwestern themed item I have ever owned. Maybe its because I grew up in Colorado and there was a lot of super tacky southwestern everything, but I've never liked the leather, turquoise, silver thing. However, this belt may have changed my mind, at least in terms of subtle southwestern elements.



The thing I liked about this belt the most, was it made things simple. I love a good LBD and adding this belt made a dress I've worn a hundred times feel totally new. Mix the black with some brown, by adding my favorite boots and bag and bam! outfit done. Perfect for a busy work day and a delicious lunch hour, these boots were made for walking to the new burger place right by the office!

Simple and comfy

My allergies are still raging, hence the drugged face in most of these photos, so today called for simple and comfy. This ended up working out because today was crazy at the office, running all over and dealing with the crazy temperature changes, flats and an over-sized cardi were the perfect combo.


On another note, people are still impressed with the Missoni for Target collection. Before 9am I had 3 people comment on my shoes. A huge shout out to my little sister for dropping everything and making a Target run when she should have been writing a paper to score me the little girl Missoni flats. You rock Goo-der!
