Pizazz

Today there was a big all staff meeting on campus for our team. Thankfully they made the attire casual, nothing worse than a half day meeting in the middle of campus on a Friday that you also have to dress up for. So since it was a Friday, I naturally wore jeans and since the meeting was in the middle of campus and that called for walking, I wore flats, and since I love to show school spirit, I rocked the burnt orange cardi. I have no reason for the sequined covered tee or the large cat pendent, other than I like to add a bit of pizazz to everything I do.



I've never worn this many sequins at one time before. I wasn't really sure I loved the idea of it, but when I found this tee on super sale at Ann Taylor last weekend, I just went for it. I may have been called a disco ball, but I owned it and loved it. I can't wait to dress this up a little next time.

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!

Red Alert

Happy MLK day! I love a good government holiday, it means a nice leisurely day off. All I did today was finish the Hunger Games, run out right after and buy Catching Fire, and then go to the grocery store. It was an exciting day, let me tell you. Since we weren't up to much, I obviously needed to dress up a bit. I love my red jeans but am not yet brave enough to wear them for work, so this was the perfect solution. I think the lady in the yogurt aisle was very impressed.



Today is also my dad's birthday, and I wanted to send him some love! Happy Birthday to the man who did my hair, watched my fashion shows after every shopping trip, and would tell me when the colors in my outfit didn't quite go. He is the best daddy as girl could ask for!


This is my neighbors cat, she wanted to be on the blog and with her fabulous tortie coat, I couldn't say no.

Mama's got a brand new bag

So for Christmas the wonderful Mr. answered my handbag dreams and under the tree I found this fab bag. Normally I don't carry it for work, but since I had lunch plans and didn't need to bring my lunch box that meant I could carry my new best friend (in which my furry best friend, Petunia, can fit)



Being casual Friday at work, I wore jeans. One of my coworkers stopped me and commented that they must be the only pair of pants I own. I laughed, mostly because she was almost totally right, at least in the sense that they are the only pair of pants I wear to work. Dress pants are not something you'll ever see me in.
