Statement Necklace

Have I mentioned I have awesome coworkers? Because I do. Not only are they great to work with, they are also very fashionable and willing to share where they find things. For example, this awesome necklace. My coworker Kelley was wearing it last week and I feel in love. She shared that she found it at World Market for $10! Obviously, I had to take a trip this weekend to see if I could find my own, and thank goodness I did. I just love it and while Pete isn't the biggest fan, I can wait to wear it all summer long.



I won't be around the interwebs tomorrow night, we've got a hot date with a big group of friends for the Hunger Games at the Alamo Draft House and I am super excited! They have a special menu to go with the movie, so I will be eating Basil Wrapped Goat Cheese, Katniss' Lamb and Plum Stew, and Mellark's Bakery's Strawberry Upside-Down Cake, while drinking some sangria and enjoying the movie. Yeah, its going to be awesome.

Confounded by Stripes

I've had this skirt for a while, you've seen its black twin a few times, but it took me a bit to figure out how to style this version. It's full of awesome colors, but they happen to be awesome colors I don't have a lot of, so it sat in my closet staring at me. Then suddenly one day it was like a brick hit my head and I thought, white oxford, classic, in the color pattern of the skirt, and perfect.



This week is basically all just a count down to Friday. Come Friday at 3 I will be in a SXSW TX Style Council state of mind and I cannot wait!! I had a lovely lunch with Julie from Loyal Style on Sunday and talking about fashion and blogs with her for an hour made me ridiculously excited to spend a whole weekend with 250 women who all love this as much as me!

Ladies Lunch

I saw this dress a few weeks ago in Target and I snatched it up immediately. I love the cut, the pattern, the sleeves, everything. Plus, its black and white, and a classic pattern! I know I'll have it for years and with a Target price tag, it was just perfect.



Today was ladies lunch at work, which meant 9 of us went out for delicious sushi! I work with a really amazing group of women. It is so fun hear about everyone's life events (3 of us our newlyweds, 1 is engaged, and 1 is going to have a baby) and compare stories. Being a newlywed I love swapping wedding stories, its amazing how we all had totally different events but so many things are so similar. We all agreed we are VERY glad to have our weddings behind us and our marriages ahead of us!

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!

Sparkles & Leopard

I got this skirt over the weekend (50% off, yay) and am pretty much in love. Its looks like a basic white skirt, but its got fantastic little faint gray stripes and little silver stripes, which add a nice twinkly touch. I wouldn't normally wear the matching belt it came with, but I liked the little bow it added, but I now realize I might want to watch some bow tying tutorials to make it look a little more polished.

I didn't want to wear black flats, so I thought leopard would be perfect. I really like using leopard as a natural, just a little is enough to make any outfit a little more fun. I've worn a headbands at least twice a week this summer, its a simple way to make just having my hair down a little nicer.

Petunia came along on this photo adventure and of course, she had to stop and smell the flowers. Which she then tried to eat, oh puppies!
